Double Trouble—Examining the Co-Occurrence of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder and Gambling Disorder Among Two American Samples

 

Gambling disorder (GD) and compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) are both recognized behavioral addictions, yet clinicians rarely check whether a patient has both. This CME activity uses data from two diverse American samples. It looks at how often GD occurs alongside high risk for CSBD, which demographic groups are more affected, and what having both means for mental health. The activity helps clinicians spot both conditions, assess them more thoroughly, and plan treatment that covers both.
