The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) has added Gambling Disorder (GD) under Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders. In the previous edition, pathological gambling (PG) used to be part of the section called “Impulse Control Disorders Not Elsewhere Classified" but this has since been changed.
