Abstract

Gambling disorder (GD) has been identified as a rare but serious adverse reaction to dopaminergic drugs that are widely used to treat mental problems. It is characterized as a recurrent and persistent sickness that results in clinically substantial pain or disability and threatens the patient’s capacity to maintain stability in both their personal and professional lives. Mr. TL, a 35 years old unmarried man who works as an employee, has been receiving aripiprazole treatment for three years and complained about a preoccupation with online gambling. The patient also admitted to being unable to control or stop gambling and the proclivity to place large bets until he is deeply in debt. Medical professionals should always consider the possibility of pathological gambling when administering aripiprazole and other dopamine agonists. Patients having a history of impulse control disorder and gambling behavior should be assessed for an elevated risk of pathological gambling prior to obtaining therapy with drugs that induce DG.
