Based on data from the JASTIS 2024 survey, which included 29,268 valid respondents, this cross-sectional study explored how ADHD symptoms are related to the prevalence of problem gambling and specific forms of gambling engagement. Problem gambling was assessed using the Problem Gambling Severity Index, and ADHD symptoms were measured with the Japanese version of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. The results revealed that 22.2 % of the participants with ADHD symptoms exhibited problem gambling, this proportion was significantly higher than that reported in the general population. Causal mediation analysis revealed that all types of gambling engagement, except for lottery, mediated the relationship between ADHD symptoms and problem gambling. Among them, bicycle racing and online casinos exhibited the strongest effects. Multiple regression analysis revealed that online casino use was the strongest predictor of problem gambling both in the general population and among individuals with ADHD symptoms. These findings suggest that individuals with ADHD characteristics increase the risk of engaging in gambling activities, particularly casino and online gambling, which have a high potential for addiction.

It is thus no surprise that researchers have examined whether intensive use of ChatGPT can be considered an addictive behavior. At least four scales measuring ChatGPT addiction have been developed so far, all framed after substance use disorder criteria. Drawing parallels with previous cases of pathologizing everyday behaviors, we caution against labeling and defining intensive or habitual chatbot use as addictive behavior. To label a behavior as addictive, there must be convincing evidence of negative consequences, impaired control, psychological distress, and functional impairment. However, the existing research on problematic use of ChatGPT or other conversational AI bots fails to provide such robust scientific evidence.
