Gambling disorder causes the individual to have strong impulses to gamble regardless of the adverse outcomes to the person with the disorder or to others. Some features of gambling disorder are being dishonest about the amount of money they lost, rushing after a losing bet, and engaging in criminal behavior to acquire money for gambling.

Reference for Gambling Disorder

The DSM-5-TR currently only recognizes one “addictive” disorder as being non-substance related: 
- Gambling Disorder


Non-Substance Related “Addictive” Disorders is a category that encompasses disorders that display behavioral patterns that are indicative of altered brain reward systems, resulting in “addictive” or “excessive” patterns of behavior, _without_ the involvement of substances. Overall, this category of disorders is less researched and exists more to compare behaviors similar to substance-related disorders, but do not involve drugs/substances.
