AB The  term  "addiction"  is  derived  from  the  Latin  word  addicere,  meaning  "bound  to"  or  "enslaved  by"  (Potenza,  2006).  In  its  original  formulation,  addiction  was  not  linked  exclusively  to  substance  use  behaviors.  Several  behaviors,  besides  psychoactive  substance  ingestion,  may  produce  short-term  reward  that  may  engender  persistent  behavior  despite  knowledge  of  adverse  consequences  and  may  result  in  diminished  control  over  the  behaviors.  Potential  endophenotypes  or  underlying  constructs  such  as  aspects  of  motivation,  reward  processing,  and  decision  making  (Chambers  et  al,  2007;  Redish  et  al,  2008;  Goldstein  et  al,  2007)  may  be  shared  across  a  spectrum  of  substance-  and  non–substance-related  addictive  disorders.  Aided  by  data  from  neurobiological  studies,  addiction  professionals  and  the  public  are  recognizing  that  certain  nondrug  behaviors  warrant  consideration  as  non  substance  or  "behavioral"  addiction  (Frascella  et  al,  2010;  Karim  &  Chaudhri,  2012).  Behaviors  such  as  gambling,  Internet  use,  video-game  play,  sex,  shopping,  and  eating  may  be  addictive  in  nature  (Holden,  2010),  with  a  minority  of  individuals  thought  to  display  habitual  or  compulsive  engagement  in  these  behaviors  (Chambers  et  al,  2007;  Karim  &  Chaudhri,  2012).
