<unk>  or ludomania is repetitive<unk>  behavior despite harm and negative consequences.<unk>  may be diagnosed as a mental disorder according to DSM-5 if certain diagnostic criteria are met. Pathological<unk>  is a common disorder that is associated with both social and family costs. The DSM-5 has re-classified the condition as an addictive disorder, with sufferers exhibiting many similarities to those who have substance addictions. The term<unk>  addiction has long been used in the recovery movement. Pathological<unk>  was long considered by the American Psychiatric Association to be an impulse control disorder rather than an addiction. However, data suggest a closer relationship between pathological<unk>  and substance use disorders than exists between PG and obsessive-compulsive disorder, largely because the behaviors in<unk>  and most primary substance use disorders (i.e. those not resulting from a desire to "self-medicate" for another condition such as depression) seek to activate the brain's reward mechanisms while the behaviors characterizing obsessive-compulsive disorder are prompted by overactive and misplaced signals from the brain's fear mechanisms.<unk>  is an addictive behavior with a high comorbidity with alcohol<unk> s.
