ResumoJogo patológico é um transtorno psiquiátrico inserido nos manuais diagnósticos há pouco mais de 20 anos, sendo até hoje pouco estudado. Pode ser considerado um transtorno do espectro impulsivo-compulsivo, apresentando características compartilhadas com os transtornos por uso de substâncias psicoativas. São identificadas três fases no comportamento de jogar: fase da vitória, da perda e do desespero. Neste artigo será apresentado o caso clínico de uma paciente com o diagnóstico de jogo patológico. Pretendemos com este caso discutir os aspectos relacionados com a abordagem combinada do caso (medicamentosa e psicológica) e as teorias atuais a respeito do jogo patológico. Palavras-chave: jogo patológico, tratamento, co-morbidade. AbstractPathological gambling has been considered a psychiatric disorder for no longer than 20 years, still being not well studied. It can be considered an impulsive-compulsive spectrum disorder with shared characteristics with substance use disorder. There are three phases that can be identified in the gambling behavior: victory, loss and despair. This article will show a case report of a patient diagnosed as pathological gambler. We intend to discuss some aspects related to the combined approach (medication plus psychotherapy) and present theories about pathological gambling.
