Out of Control Behaviors:  Sex, Gambling, Shopping, Gaming, Food…
Successfully Treating Today’s Behavioral Addictions

Dr. Reef Karim, M.D.

It appears that out of control behaviors are growing in numbers. With rapid advancement in our technology and a society struggling with overstimulation we are hearing more and more about process/behavioral addictions & impulse control disorders. Are these just bad behaviors or are these legitimate disorders?

As clinicians we are going to be faced with diagnosing & treating these conditions whether a primary addiction, secondary cross addiction or a negative coping state. While preliminary comparative research reveals similar neuro-circuitry to chemical addictions, these behaviors require specialized treatment.  Find out what you can do. Gain a better understanding of the similarities & differences between chemical addictions & behavioral/process addictions. Familiarize yourself with the strategies & interventions for successful diagnosis & treatment.


 Dr. Reef Karim, MD, Founder & Medical Director, The Control Center for Addictions, a cutting edge, integrated outpatient treatment center for chemical dependency and behavioral addictions in Beverly Hills, is a leader & pioneer in the field of addiction medicine.

Called “a medical messenger in a pop culture world” because his medical and psychological expertise centers on the world of sex, drugs & relationships, he’s a well known media personality & Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience, Website: http://thecontrolcenter.org/
