Patients with non-substance-related disorders report a similar profile of childhood trauma experiences compared to heroin-dependent patients.

Background And Objectives: Exposure to traumatic events is common among patients with substance use disorders (SUD). In patients with non-substance-related disorders, especially with gambling disorders (GD) and internet addiction (IA), traumatic childhood experiences have not been investigated extensively. The objective of this study was to compare trauma histories in patients with GD and IA to patients with heroin dependence.
