Outpatient psychotherapeutic treatment of gambling disorder — lessons learned from Bavaria
Overview
This study analyzes routine care data from Bavaria to examine the uptake and characteristics of outpatient psychotherapy for gambling disorder among statutory health insurance patients. It compares demographic and clinical profiles of those receiving psychotherapy against those receiving only medical or no specialized care, noting that therapy recipients were younger, more often female, and had higher rates of comorbid mental disorders. The resource primarily serves researchers and clinicians interested in healthcare utilization patterns and treatment demographics rather than providing direct therapeutic guidance.
