Neurocognitive Functioning in Gambling Disorder: Systematic Review Comparing Psychiatric and Comorbid Conditions

This systematic review synthesized 30 studies examining cognitive impairments in gambling disorder relative to other psychiatric conditions and comorbidities, rather than only comparing to healthy controls. Results show greatest cognitive impairment in cocaine-dependent individuals and gamblers with comorbid ADHD, followed by those with eating disorders, OCD, and substance dependence, with gamblers lacking comorbidities showing intermediate impairment levels.
