Gambling addiction is the uncontrollable continuation of gambling despite the consequences on one’s life. Gambling is addictive because it stimulates the brain’s reward system much like drugs or alcohol can. In fact, gambling addiction is the most common impulse control disorder worldwide.

This course provides a brief introduction to pathological gambling, gambling disorder, and problem gambling as wells as explores signs, symptoms, and treatment modalities.
