Abstract

Illegal behaviors have been reported in gambling disorder (GD) as well as in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Likewise, ADHD symptomatology has been observed in patients with GD. We aimed to examine the association between ADHD symptomatology, personality traits and impulsivity in a sample of treatment-seeking patients with GD (n = 204) with and without a criminal report. The subjects were evaluated before starting treatment using different self-administered instruments. Among those who had committed an illegal act, two groups were made depending on whether or not the criminal conduct had legal repercussions (n = 64 without legal consequences; n = 32 with legal consequences). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to explore the interrelationships between personality traits, ADHD, impulsivity levels, gambling-related criminal behavior and other gambling-related factors. Greater ADHD symptomatology was found in patients with reported illegal behaviors, as well as higher impulsivity levels. Those individuals who presented legal consequences due to the criminal behavior showed higher impulsivity levels and harm avoidance and lower persistence and cooperativeness. Our findings uphold that patients with GD and ADHD symptomatology have greater impulsivity and are more vulnerable to committing an illegal act. Therefore, specific harm-prevention interventions and treatment approaches are needed for this population.

MCI-Screening per Handy und Smartwatch? Könnte klappen

Handys und Smartwatches könnten niedrigschwellige Tools sein, um eine beginnende Demenz zu erfassen. In einer US-Studie ließ sich damit eine leichte kognitive Beeinträchtigung (MCI) gut nachweisen. Auch waren gerade die älteren Teilnehmenden sehr motiviert.

Demenz-Leitlinie aktualisiert

  • 13.03.2025
  • Demenz
  • Nachrichten

Empfohlen wird jetzt auch eine Musiktherapie sowie bei unklarem diagnostischem Befund ein Tau-PET, und Depressive mit leichten kognitiven Störungen sollten eine Verhaltenstherapie erhalten – das sind einige wichtige Änderungen der aktuellen S3-Leitlinie Demenzen.

Positive Signale für Semaglutid bei Alkoholabhängigkeit

Daten einer kleinen Phase-II-Studie sprechen dafür, GLP-1-Rezeptoragonisten in der Behandlung von Alkoholabhängigkeit weiter zu untersuchen.

Wer hat Angst vorm elektromagnetischen Feld?

Ist elektromagnetische Strahlung auch unterhalb von gesetzlichen Grenzwerten gesundheitsschädlich? Ein kleiner Teil der Ärzteschaft hält das für möglich, wobei eher an psychosomatische Effekte gedacht wird, wie eine deutsche Studie nahelegt. Das selbst eingeschätzte Wissen zum Thema ist indes gering.
