The Journal of Behavioral Addictions published a 2022 debate featuring three main papers and eleven commentaries examining behavioral addictions in the ICD-11 classification system, with particular focus on compulsive sexual behavior disorder. Despite some disagreements on specific details, all contributors agreed on the importance of further research in this area.
This systematic review of 17 peer-reviewed studies examines the relationship between working memory (a key executive function component) and gaming/gambling disorders, finding reduced working memory capacity consistently associated with both conditions. Results indicate gaming disorder and gambling disorder patients demonstrate decreased working memory performance compared to healthy controls, with severity correlating to cognitive impairment.
This fMRI study examines neural activation patterns in patients with gambling disorder (N=10) compared to healthy controls (N=20) when viewing gambling-related cues such as slot machines versus neutral images. The research applies established cue reactivity paradigms from addiction neuroscience to identify reward system activation and craving-related brain regions specific to behavioral gambling addiction.
This narrative review examines the complex relationship between spirituality and behavioral addictions including gaming disorder, gambling disorder, internet use problems, smartphone use problems, compulsive sexual behavior, and compulsive buying. The review synthesizes literature showing spirituality can function as either a protective factor supporting recovery or a potential risk factor, with implications for clinical practice and future research.
This narrative review examines five behavioral addictions (gambling disorder, internet gaming disorder, compulsive sexual behavior, compulsive buying-shopping, and problematic social media use), their clinical relevance, diagnostic validation, and frequent comorbidity with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy demonstrates the strongest empirical support for treatment, as no medications have regulatory approval for behavioral addictions, highlighting the need for enhanced screening and public health approaches.
