Why did it take us that long?

  • Impulse Control Disorders,

Substance Use Disorders, Somatoform Disorders, and Behavioral Addictions

  • The tobacco companies, the

lawsuits, and organized medical professional organizations.

  • The DSM-5

Essential Features

Failure to resist an

  • impulse,
  • drive, or
  • temptation

to perform an act that is harmful to the person or others.

Impulsivity vs. Compulsivity

  • Both show inability to refrain from

repetitive behaviors.

  • Impulsivity is driven by an effort to
  • btain arousal and gratification.
  • Compulsivity is driven by an effort to

reduce anxiety.

Screening Tools

  • The Lie/Bet Test
  • Have you ever felt the need to bet

more and more money?

  • Have you ever had to lie to people

important to you about how much you gambled?

  • .99 sensitivity, .91 specificity.

Johnson EE, Hamer R, Nora RM, et al: The lie/bet questionnaire for screening pathological gamblers. Psychological Reports 80:83-88, 1997.

What would you do?

  • 1. Switch.
  • 2. Stick to my original choice.
  • 3. It doesn’t matter; either way my

chance of winning is 50%.

  • 4. You’ve lost me. I have no idea.

Interpretative Biases

  • Attributing wins to skill, losses to flukes
  • Wrongly believing that a series of losses

increases the chance of subsequent win

  • The “Sunk-Cost” effect
  • Near misses

20

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Near Misses: Of Mice and Men

  • “Why Mice are Smarter than Men?”
  • “But I was only one number away

from winning the lottery!”

  • Free dinner on my birthday.

Interpretative Biases

21

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Superstitious Beliefs

Believing in:

  • good luck objects (like animal parts),
  • behaviors,
  • routines.

Gaboury A, Ladouceur R: Erroneous perceptions and gambling. Journal of Social Behaviors and Personality 4:411-420, 1989.

22

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Selective Memory

  • Remembering wins while ignoring

losses.

  • Totaling wins without correcting for

amounts lost.

23

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Telescoping

  • Temporal:

Expecting that naturally occurring—that is, probabilistically expected—wins will happen sooner rather than later.

  • Reference:

Expecting that naturally occurring—that is, probabilistically expected—wins will happen to oneself rather than others.

PG as an Impulsive Disorder

  • Opioid Antagonists
  • Naltrexone and Nalmefene.
  • Block opioid receptors, decrease

dopamine function, and reduce “Reward Cravings.”

  • Best with family history of alcoholism.

  • Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
  • Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine, Escitalopram.
  • Block serotonin reuptake, increase

serotonin function, and reduce “Self- Medication.”

  • Best with co-occurring depression or

anxiety.

rates during a 12-week treatment trial with fluoxetine ~80 mg QD.

Conclusions

46

slide-47
SLIDE 47
  • 1. Behavioral addictions fall within an impulsivity-

compulsivity spectrum of illness.

  • 2. Gambling Disorder is now one of the “Substance-

Related and Addictive Disorders.”

  • 3. Body Dysmorphic Disorder falls under the DSM-5

“Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders” chapter.

  • 4. Antidepressants have shown efficacy for BDD, but

not for Gambling Disorder.
