Should addictive disorders include non-substance-related conditions?

Potenza, Marc N.·2006·Addiction

Abstract

Aims In anticipation of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM‐V), to consider whether addictive disorders should include non‐substance use disorders. Methods The author reviewed data and provided perspective to explore whether disorders such as pathological gambling (PG) should be grouped together with substance dependence, given that they share many features. Results PG and substance dependence currently reside in the DSM, fourth edition, text revision (DSM‐IV‐TR) within separate categories, with PG classified as an impulse control disorder (ICD) and substance dependence as a substance use disorder (SUD). Arguments can be forwarded to support each categorization, as well as to justify their inclusion together as addictions. Conclusion The current state of knowledge suggests that there exist substantial similarities between PG and SUDs. Further research is indicated prior to categorizing PG and other ICDs together with SUDs.

  • There is one line of inquiry that considers addiction to be an extensive concept, not limited to substances, with a foundation in its neurobiologic basis.

    “Essentially, there is one line of inquiry that considers addiction to be an extensive concept, not limited to substances, that has a foundation in its neurobiologic basis (1, 107, 108).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
