Comparative clinical and psychometric parameters of pathological gambling and Internet addictions in young patients with mental disorders

An association was found between variants of non-chemical addictions and affective and neurotic comorbidities, as well as autoaggressive and suicidal behavior. Predictive markers significant for determining the further trajectory for each of the groups were identified. The most severe course was observed in the mixed group, indicating a more unfavorable prognosis. The revealed increased pathological level of impulsivity warrants the need for further study of this phenomenon and the development of preventive and therapeutic targets.
