Occurrence and trajectories of psychiatric disorders in adults with gambling disorder: a longitudinal register-based study of the Finnish population
There were distinct and sex-specific temporal trajectories between GD and other psychiatric diagnoses, with mood-, anxiety-, and SUDs showing the strongest and most reciprocal associations. Social and health care professionals should screen for GD among those seeking treatment for these disorders, particularly given the increased suicide risk.
