Impulse Control Category Description Gambling can be defined as playing a game of chance for stakes. Gambling occurs in many forms, most commonly pari-mutuels (horse and dog tracks, off-track-betting parlors, Jai Alai), lotteries, casinos (slot machines, table games), bookmaking (sports books and horse books), card rooms, bingo and the stock market. Pathological gambling is a progressive disease that devastates not only the gambler but everyone with whom he or she has a significant relationship. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association accepted pathological gambling as a "disorder of impulse control." It is an illness that is chronic and progressive, but it can be diagnosed and treated.

Home Page Tests and Quizzes Psychiatric Disorders Self-Help Articles ... Pathological Gambling Intermittent Explosive Disorder Etiology: This disorder is apparently rare, with the majority of cases occurring when the individual is between late adolescence and late twenties. There is some evidence of that the neurotransmitter serotonin may play a role in this disorder. Symptomatology: This disorder is characterized by frequent and often unpredictable episodes of extreme anger or physical outbursts. Between episodes, there is typically no evidence of violence or physical threat. Treatment: Treatment could involve medication or therapy, with the best prognosis utilizing a combination of the two. Prognosis: Prognosis is fair. Kleptomania Etiology: Kleptomania appears to be much more common in females, but little is understood about the etiology. There is also some association with other disorders such as depression and anxiety. Symptomatology: Kleptomania involves the failure to resist impulses to steal things that are not needed for either personal use or for their monetary value. There is typically anxiety prior to the act of theft and relief or gratification afterward. If the theft is related to vengeance or psychosis, kleptomania should not be diagnosed. (Kleptomania is quite rare, where common shoplifting is not).

Computer Addiction Services I welcome questions regarding computer addictions and will answer as many as I can. You can email me directly at Orzack@ComputerAddiction.com Here is a list of questions and answers regarding computer addiction and its treatment. 1. What is computer addiction? Addiction to the computer and/or Internet is a complex problem which is developing due to the rapid spread of computer use around the world. Computer addiction, like other addictions, is the use of computers in order to change an individual's mood. Computer use becomes abuse when it interferes with one's work or school, or disrupts personal and family relationships, and becomes increasingly necessary in order to feel good. 2. Who are the people who come to see you? I see students, professionals, housewives, the retired, everyone. Computer addicts can be people who are depressed, lonely, afraid to go out, in high family conflicts, and, generally, people in trouble because they can't leave their computers. They are men, women, and children referred by other family members, self-referred, or referred by other professionals. 3. Why is computer addiction now a problem?
