“…6 In fact, and contrary to its current grouping, evidence suggests that stealing in some individuals shares much with substance addiction-a similar clinical presentation with cravings, withdrawal, and tolerance; a similar neurocognitive and personality profile; controlled family studies supporting a shared relationship; and a similar responsiveness to pharmacological treatments, particularly to opioid antagonists. 13 Whereas the data are admittedly quite limited in terms of total number of publications for kleptomania's inclusion as a Substance-Related and Addictive Disorder, there are interestingly few if any data to support its categorization with either conduct disorder or intermittent explosive disorder.…”

While considerable efforts have been made to understand the neurobiological basis of substance addiction, the potentially 'addictive' qualities of repetitive behaviors, and whether such behaviors constitute 'behavioral addictions', is relatively neglected. It has been suggested that some conditions, such as gambling disorder, compulsive stealing, compulsive buying, and compulsive sexual behavior, and problem internet use, have phenomenological and neurobiological parallels with substance use disorders. This review considers how the issue of 'behavioral addictions' has been handled by latest revisions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) and International Classification of Disease (ICD), leading to somewhat divergent approaches. We also consider key areas for future research in order to address optimal diagnostic classification and treatments for such repetitive, debilitating behaviors.

“…Lower numbers of platelet-derived serotonin transporters have been reported in kleptomania 123,124 , suggesting serotonergic dysfunction; however, negative findings from a small double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving open-label responders were reported for escitalopram 125 . Positive results in a small double-blind trial of naltrexone 126 suggest possible opioidergic involvement.…”

A Targeted Review of the Neurobiology and Genetics of Behavioural Addictions: An Emerging Area of Research

This review summarizes neurobiological and genetic findings in behavioral addictions, draws parallels with findings pertaining to substance use disorders and offers suggestions for future research. Articles concerning brain function, neurotransmitter activity and family history/genetics findings for behavioral addictions involving gambling, internet use, video game playing, shopping, kleptomania and sexual activity were reviewed. Behavioral addictions involve dysfunction in several brain regions, particularly the frontal cortex and striatum. Findings from imaging studies incorporating cognitive tasks have arguably been more consistent than cue-induction studies. Early results suggest white and gray matter differences. Neurochemical findings suggest roles for dopaminergic and serotonergic systems, but results from clinical trials seem more equivocal. While limited, family history/genetic data support heritability for pathological gambling and that those with behavioral addictions are more likely to have a close family member with some form of psychopathology. Parallels exist between neurobiological and genetic/family history findings in substance and non-substance addictions, suggesting that compulsive engagement in these behaviors may constitute addictions. Findings to date are limited, particularly for shopping, kleptomania and sexual behavior. Genetic understandings are at an early stage. Future research directions are offered.

“…Previous studies have reported that some behavioral addictions, such as pathological gambling, pathological kleptomania and pathological shopping, show similarities with substance addictions (Bosc, Fatseas, Alexandre, Alexandre & Auriacombre,2012;Grant, Odlaug & Kim, 2010;Kreitler & Kreitler, 2015). Further studies have indicated that substance use disorders, mainly including alcohol and drugs, are associated with cognitive dysfunction (Hagen et al, 2016).…”
