| Abstract: | The article discusses the systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by Corbeil et al. on the prevalence of problem gambling (PBG) in individuals with psychotic disorders. The authors raise concerns about the diversity of study designs included in the review, noting that this may lead to varying prevalence rates without adequate explanation. They also highlight the absence of a discussion on comorbidities associated with gambling problems in psychotic patients and question the inclusion of studies that do not align with the focus on PBG. Additionally, inaccuracies in the reported data from one of the studies are pointed out, emphasizing the need for more rigorous methodologies in future research to better understand the relationship between PBG and psychotic disorders.
