http://nypisys.cpmc.columbia.edu/anxiety/pathological gambling.htm

Extractions: PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING What are its main features? Although each person is different, most people with pathological gambling have some or all of the following characteristics: Some people gamble to escape from problems or to relieve depression, some because of the excitement. Whatever the reasons for gambling, pathological gamblers frequently end up having to lie to people they care for about how much they gamble or the consequences of their gambling. It is not unusual for them to engage in fraud or other criminal activities to obtain the money they need to gamble. What are the consequences of pathological gambling? Pathological gambling is not only associated with important money losses, but with a progressive disruption of the individuals life and, in many cases, of the lives of the people close to him. Many pathological gamblers lose their jobs and have increased emotional and medical problems. These serious personal and social problems, including financial, legal, occupational, medical and psychological difficulties, result in important costs to the individual, the family and society. What are the treatment options for pathological gambling?

Extractions: When do social issues become medical issues? Peter A. Setness, MD VOL 102 / NO 4 / OCTOBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Gambling. For some people, a mere mention of the subject conjures up images of glitz and glamor, fun and socializing, a chance at "The Big Win," and all the accoutrements of whatever the good life means to them. But what it really is becoming is the addiction of the '90s, with all the personal and societal costs created by any addictive disease. It's interesting to me that just a generation ago, gambling was almost entirely an illegal, underworld activity, while today it is legal in some form in 48 states (Utah and Hawaii being the only holdouts). In the majority of states, proceeds from gambling (also known by its more innocuous name, gaming) fund everything from environmental causes to school band uniforms. Revenues from legal gambling have grown from about $3 billion on the $17 billion wagered in 1974 to $44 billion on the $550 billion wagered in 1996an increase of 1,500% (1). Lotteries are considered by many to be a legitimate government-sanctioned way of raising money for worthy causes, a type of painless tax. Lottery tickets are available along with food and fuel at practically every corner convenience store and gas station. It's true that legalized gambling has provided jobs and enabled selected groups, such as the Native Americans who own casinos, to better their economic circumstances. In some areas, the resultant revenue stream has allowed such things as reductions in property taxes and improved healthcare for the underserved. Many casinos are building playgrounds, amusement parks, and day-care centers, albeit to entice parents to make a trip to the casino a family activity.

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-07/jaaj-pdd070705.php

Extractions: JAMA and Archives Journals CHICAGO Eleven patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) developed pathological gambling behavior following dopamine agonist therapy, a drug therapy to control movement problems caused by Parkinson's disease, according to a study posted online today which will appear in the September print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disorder marked by the death of the neurons of an area of the brain called the substantia nigra, is primarily treated by drugs that restore or improve brain chemical signaling system dependent on dopamine, according to background information in the article. Brain dopamine, a chemical that helps regulate movement, balance and walking, also plays a central role in the behavioral reward system, reinforcing a myriad of behaviors. It has been implicated in the reward of gambling behavior. M. Leann Dodd, M.D., of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., and colleagues, present reports of eleven patients seen and evaluated between 2002 and 2004 in the Mayo movement disorders clinic with Parkinson's disease who had recently developed pathological gambling and review similar cases from the medical literature. Pathological gambling is defined as a failure to resist gambling impulses despite severe personal, family or vocational consequences

Extractions: Mayo Clinic ROCHESTER, Minn. Habitual, compulsive gambling with losses up to $200,000 within six months by those who previously never or only occasionally gambled recreationally has been tied to Parkinson's disease drugs called dopamine agonists, according to a new Mayo Clinic case series analysis to be published in Archives of Neurology, http://archneur.ama-assn.org "This is a striking effect," says J. Eric Ahlskog, M.D., Ph.D., Mayo Clinic neurologist who treated most of the patients in the series. "Pathological gambling induced by a drug is really quite unusual." The good news, according to Dr. Ahlskog and M. Leann Dodd, M.D., Mayo Clinic psychiatrist who spearheaded the analysis, is that excessive gambling behavior only occurs in a small number of patients given the drugs, and it can be stopped as suddenly as it came on. "It's a very rare side effect and reversible if you get off the drug, but you have to make the association," says Dr. Ahlskog. The Mayo Clinic neurologists treating the Parkinson's patients reported in the case series analysis learned about the gambling issues of the 11 patients in the series during routine clinic visits. Four had never gambled before starting dopamine agonist treatment. "Most of the time, the patient came in for a routine exam and would sheepishly admit 'I've been gambling too much,' or family members would mention that their loved one had been gambling excessively, that this behavior was totally out of character for them, and that the gambling was causing problems in their lives," says Dr. Dodd.

Pathological gambling , as defined by American Psychiatric Association is an impulse control disorder associated with gambling . It is a chronic and progresive mental illness . It is estimated that 4-6% of gamblers are subject to the disease and that adolescents are three times more succeptible than adults. The most common instrument used to screen for "probable pathological gambling" behavior is the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) developed by Lesieur and Blume (1987) at the South Oaks Hospital in New York. This screen is undoubtedly the most cited instrument in psychological research liturature. A difficulty with treatment is recognition of the problem by the person, i.e., overcoming the denial. Treatment involves individual and group psychotherapy . There are self-support groups, such as
