Gambling disorder, recognized by the DSM-5 as a behavioral addiction, affects .4-1.6% of adults worldwide, and is highly comorbid with other mental health disorders, particularly substance use disorders (SUDs).
To provide a concise primer on the relationship between gambling disorder and SUDs, focusing on phenomenology/clinical presentation, co-morbidity, familiality, cognition, neuroanatomy/neurochemistry, and treatment.
Selective review of the literature.
Scientific evidence shows that gambling and SUDs have consistently high rates of comorbidity, similar clinical presentations, and some genetic and physiological overlap. Several treatment approaches show promise for gambling disorder, some of which have previously been effective for SUDs.
It is hoped that recognition of overlap between gambling disorder and SUDs in terms of phenomenology and neurobiology will signal novel treatment approaches and raise the profile of this neglected condition.
赌博障碍被《精神疾病诊断与统计手册（第5版）》认定为一种行为成瘾，影响着全球0.4%至1.6%的成年人，且与其他心理健康障碍高度共病，尤其是物质使用障碍（SUDs）。
提供一份关于赌博障碍与物质使用障碍之间关系的简明入门指南，重点关注现象学/临床表现、共病情况、家族性、认知、神经解剖学/神经化学以及治疗。
对文献进行选择性综述。
科学证据表明，赌博与物质使用障碍的共病率一直很高，临床表现相似，且存在一些遗传和生理上的重叠。几种治疗方法对赌博障碍显示出前景，其中一些方法此前对物质使用障碍有效。
希望认识到赌博障碍与物质使用障碍在现象学和神经生物学方面的重叠，将为新的治疗方法指明方向，并提高对这种被忽视疾病的关注度。
