- Is there such a thing as gambling dual disorder? Preliminary evidence and clinical profilesby Néstor Szerman on December 14, 2022
Patients with gambling disorder (GD) frequently present other mental disorders, such as substance use disorder (SUDs), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mood disorders, and impulse-control disorders. We propose that GD should not be conceptualized as a single nosological entity, but rather as a gambling dual disorder (GDD). This study aims to provide further evidence of the co-occurrence of GD and other mental disorders in routine clinical practice and to identify different...

Survey participants were recruited from gaming associations, clubs and the gaming community using Facebook. Data were...
- Internet-based interventions for behavioral addictions: A systematic reviewby Nikolaos Boumparis on December 10, 2022
CONCLUSIONS: Internet-based interventions seem promising at reducing gambling problems, but too few studies have been published, to date, for conclusions to be drawn for other behavioral addictions.

- Screening for impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease and dopamine agonist use: a study of pharmacokinetic and psychological risk factorsby Manuela Contin on November 9, 2022
CONCLUSION: This is the first prospective study to evaluate the relationship between DA plasma concentrations and ICDs risk in PD patients. DA plasma levels were overlapping between QUIP positive and negative patients. BIS-11, particularly the motor impulsiveness subscale, might be a useful screening tool in PD patients eligible for DA therapy.
