This chapter addresses the question when behavioural problems such as gambling disorder should be considered to be an addiction. Current classification systems will be discussed and current neurobiological findings regarding the correlates of addictive behavior will be compared to key diagnostic symptoms. Finally, key theories about addiction will be compared with respect to their clinical implications.
