Diagram schematically describing the strategy of the statistical analyses.
Caption: Growth Mixture Model (GMM): - x is the first variable used for the GMM. - traj1 and traj2 represent the different trajectories obtained after the GMM analysis for the variable x. - x1, x2, etc. represent the different assignment probabilities associated with each trajectory for the variable x. Change indicator: - change1 (0–0): the variable is absent at T1 and at T3. - change2 (1–0): the variable is present at T1 and absent at T3. - change3 (0–1): the variable is absent at T1 and present at T3. - change4 (1–1): the variable is present at T1 and at T3.

Schematic representation of the five types of patients with behavioral addictions or eating disorders.
(+) High level of the characteristic (relative to the other classes). (-) Low level of the characteristic (relative to the other classes). The (+) and (-) have been positioned to indicate a high level of psychopathology on the right column and a low level on the left column. For example, patients with impulsive psychological functioning have a high capacity to achieve a one-month period of abstinence, which was associated with a low level of psychopathology, but a low capacity to maintain abstinence (low duration), which was associated with a high level of psychopathology. Patients with complex psychological functioning presented with the highest severity, the highest disorder-related damage, the highest level of psychiatric and addictive comorbidity, the highest suicidal risk, the highest level of impulsivity, and the lowest capacity to achieve a one-month period of abstinence, giving a multiple-psychopathological profile.
