Gambling disorder patients show far higher rates of other mental illnesses
Original: Patients with a Diagnosed Gambling Disorder Have Far Higher Rates of Other Diagnosed Mental Health Conditions
New research from Epic Research finds that patients diagnosed with a gambling disorder have far higher rates of other diagnosed mental health conditions than the general patient population. The findings add to growing evidence that problem gambling rarely occurs in isolation and is often accompanied by conditions such as depression or anxiety. Health researchers are highlighting the study as a reason for better screening and integrated treatment for people seeking help with gambling.
Why now: Fresh data linking gambling disorder to widespread comorbid mental health conditions is prompting discussion about screening and treatment.
