gambling disorder
DSM–5’s term for pathological gambling, categorized as a nonsubstance-related addiction rather than an impulse-control disorder (as in DSM–IV–TR). DSM–5 criteria for the disorder include persistent, recurrent gambling not related to manic episodes, along with significant impairment or distress. Associated behaviors may include betting increasing amounts of money, inability to limit or stop gambling, and preoccupation with gambling.
