Mindfulness-based interventions for gambling disorder: A systematic review
Overview
This systematic review synthesizes 12 studies published between 2012 and April 2025 to evaluate the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions for gambling disorder. The authors report that these interventions, particularly when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, are associated with reduced gambling frequency, cravings, and psychological distress. The resource highlights methodological limitations in existing research, such as small sample sizes, while noting the need for further robust studies to isolate specific mindfulness mechanisms.
