摘要

Purpose of Review

Gambling disorder (GD) presents significant psychiatric challenges, particularly for vulnerable populations like military veterans, who often also face mental health comorbidities. Recovery is a crucial issue in the gambling field, representing a transition from illness to health. Currently, there is no consensus regarding its definition. This scoping review aimed to map the characteristics of studies on recovery in veterans with GD, explore how it is defined and measured, identify the dominate recovery approach, and the main research topics.

Recent Findings

This review identified 13 scientific articles. Findings showed minimal explicit use of the term “recovery” by researchers. The main recovery approach is the deficit based. Most studies focused on treatment programs and their effectiveness, neglecting the unique characteristics of veterans and alternative recovery pathways. 

Summary

Future studies should explore and conceptualize recovery in veterans, and inquire into the specific recovery needs of veterans living with GD.
