Which of the following is not a symptom of Gambling Disorder?

Gambling Disorder is characterized by a range of symptoms that reflect problematic gambling behavior leading to significant impairment or distress. The criteria for this disorder include behaviors such as making unsuccessful efforts to control gambling, feeling restless or irritable when attempting to cut back on gambling, and a persistent preoccupation with gambling activities.

The symptom highlighted in the chosen answer, confusion and agitation, is not specifically recognized within the DSM-5-TR criteria for Gambling Disorder. While individuals with gambling problems may experience emotional responses due to the impacts of their gambling behavior, such as anxiety or frustration, confusion and agitation are not direct symptoms associated with the disorder itself.

In contrast, the other options presented—making unsuccessful efforts to control gambling, feeling restless when trying to reduce gambling, and being preoccupied with gambling—directly correspond to the diagnostic criteria for Gambling Disorder. They demonstrate the compulsive nature of the behavior and the individual's struggle with self-control in the context of their gambling habits.
