Abstract in brief

  • Behavioral addictions are behaviors that provide short-term rewards, leading to ongoing engagement despite negative consequences, similar to substance addictions.
  • Research shows that behavioral addictions share many characteristics with substance addictions, including how they develop, neurobiological mechanisms, and responses to treatment, which suggests they could be grouped together in diagnostic manuals like the DSM.
  • Proper classification of these disorders is important because it influences how we develop prevention and treatment strategies, with recent evidence supporting a combined category for substance and behavioral addictions, though more research is needed for certain behaviors.
