ABSTRACT
In this chapter non-substance-related disorders and behavioral addictions will be discussed. This chapter provides an overview of the prevalence rates, general criteria for diagnosis, relationship to substance use, and family dynamics of behavioral disorders. The specific criteria for the DSM-5 diagnosis of gambling disorder will be discussed. Although they have no formal diagnosis in the DSM-5, compulsive buying, internet, and sex addiction have been identified in the mental health field and will be discussed. Because of a void in research related to substance abuse and the family with exercise addiction, this disorder is not covered. Disorders related to eating are also not discussed as they are listed in the DSM-5 under Feeding and Eating Disorders.
