Abstract
There is a high prevalence of pathological gambling amongst the general population, but especially amongst subjects with psychiatric comorbidities with mood disorders or dependence on psychoactive substances. Early detection of this problem and a global, psychological, psychiatric and social treatment are essential for these patients, who are often in very difficult situations.
