Is Gambling addiction a disease?

[ethereumhunter]

Being addicted is hard to avoid when people did not know how to manage his responsibilities in their finances.It should be a diseases to those people who cant control and even repeating playing even though they have full of debts.

It's inevitable to become addicted if most of your time is dedicated in casino's and you are enjoying with your time there.

And because you're enjoying you didn't know that the system eats you and you'll wake up one day that all are gone because of your addiction. Yes it became a disease when you let it pass on your nerves and you'll just like a puppet and your life will revolves around the casinos. Personally, even I really enjoyed something I always make sure that I put limit to it so I'll know how far can I go.

It only means that you are responsible gambler and you know that it will be better to stay away from such before you will be affected that way. Enjoying isn't bad if that is too much, that becomes wrong and with gambling it's literally going to become addiction and disease that you never know.

In gambling there are many circumstances and in a matter of time people have different life before and after gambling. Gambling addiction can be called a disease because of its effect on a person who is suffering from unconscious way of thinking that is only focused in gambling.

I am not thinking that gambling addiction is a disease because I think it is only a bad habit someone has and he need help from other people to solve his problem. and if he asks other people to help him, then I think this bad habit can be solved and he can stop his bad habit forever and he can enjoy his life without thinking about playing gambling.

I believe it is a disease, a brain disease because of the imbalance secretion of hormone in the brain.  Every time aperson is playing  gambling games, brain signals and a hormone is produced, this makes the brain unable to control stuff like self control. With these a person tends to play continuesly without any control and conciousness that he is already spending all his savings in gambling games.

Yup,it is an disease and we have separate hospitals for curing the addiction,it is an mental disorder not an habit.

BUt there are different level of addictions available if the addicted percentage is less then he may recover by himself or just help from someone but the serious gambling cannot recover by himself.

It's problem like everything other, for example depression and etc and it needs treatment. Almost everything is brain chemic, their volume affect our every decision. For example when you win during gambling, it usually increases your dopamine levels, this is very, very addictive.
Also consider the fact that every human thinks if they win once, they can win next time too.
It needs time and some meds, is treatable of course.

when a person who is already hooked in gambling that when he gamble it is like there no tomorrow then we may say his addiction to gambling is already like a disease but if a person knows how to control himself when he gamble then we can say it is not a deseases.

Severe problem gambling may be diagnosed as clinical pathological gambling if the gambler meets certain criteria.There's a types of gambling that people with this disorder might engage in are as variable as the games available. Only himself can control in causing disease. Money for gambling in order to achieve the desired level of gambling enjoyment.

I think it's because his mind cannot control his mind to stay away or quit gambling. and if you said that the brain unable to control stuff like self control, then he needs to learn to control his mind. and if the mind is the problem, then he really need other people to help him to solve his problem. for me, disease is something that we can see, we can look at his body but not in his mind. maybe it's the mental problem that needs to be solved and I think there are institutions that could help him to recover his mind.

I agree, gambling addiction is so hard to control because if we say we are addicted, it is either because we have lost a huge amount of money already or we are winning, so addiction in to something is not really bad if it is benefiting you in some ways. But the worst case scenario here is when we are not quitting and addiction blinds us, that is why we end up broke or even more worst than that.

Gambling, not a disease. It's all up to you how you can react to it. It's controlled by you. It's not the drug , it's a habit. And habit can stop.. Because it does not effect on your body. It only effects on your mind. At the same time if you were busy with the other such works, slowly slowly your gambling habits will reduce.

No I strongly disagree, it is not a habit rather a disease. Habit can be bad or good but when some bad habit becomes so spoiled to loss you every time, it will become a disease, an intangible disease that can’t be diagnosed.

Believe me this gambling can’t be controlled by some human mind. Many came, talking about limiting themselves while gambling, they ended up being losers.

If it cannot be controlled by the human mind, them damn I might be super human then. A gambling addiction is a disease, but not just a regular one but something which is a mental condition. We can't really advise on this to be honest, unless you are a medical doctor who is actually specializing on mental disorders. Though indeed it is not just about limiting one's self that would prevent an addicted person from gambling, but it helps.

Gambling addiction and drug addiction are too far different from each other. Gambling can be cure less than medicating a drug addict. But ofcourse like any other problems, there should be a support from family and loveones to divert their attentions to anything else like activities that involves family members such as Out of town/countries, camping, hiking and etc.

of course both of them are totally different and i guess we arent talking about any drug related here. Were only talking about gambling and op compares it to an addiction or a disease but i think gambling is more over of an addiction because you oftenly do it despite the fact that you know isnt good or beneficial for you. a disease is literally an ailment or health problems that doesnt have anything related to gambling or any forms of activies.

Actually Addiction gambling and addiction drugs are two things that are not so different even tend to be the same. The only difference is in how severe their addiction rate is, if it's been longer, it will get worse. Support from family is important, coupled with a strong effort, gambling addicts and drug addicts can be cured.

Yeah you are right,how long the gambling addiction is there for a person then the effect of that disease is more worse.SO we need help from the family to get rid of from addiction.But I have seen that many gambling addicts are also become drug addicts soon after their failure in their life.

Addiction whether its with gambling or drugs, it's still addiction. It's too much use of something or you are giving too much time to it which is not normal. This is one of the hardest battle for those people who are experiencing addiction especially in gambling, they will never think of themselves and those people who cares for them. All they want to do is to gamble, win and recover money, that's all.

All things which are not already on proper engagement or too much focused on does really signifies addiction and as we all know all things which are too much does really give negative impact into our lives. Drugs or gambling addiction, there no doubt that these things should really be avoided at all cost since we do know the potential risk or consequence that might face ahead which we cant really able to comprehend that it would happen to our lives.

Addiction is a psychological disorder so it can be called as disease.

If someone really addcited to gambling then he can't get out from that by himself he need to take medications to recover from that so it is a disease.So people need to be aware of while gambling and keep time limit to avoid addiction.If the bad run continues then leave the gambling on that day and comeback again.

Yes, gambling addiction can be considered a disease because the victim will need special care if he wants to cure it. But there are levels in addiction. For those who are at the lowest level, the possibility to cure an addiction will feel easier than those who are at an acute one.

Yep,there are different levels in addiction.If someone finds that he is getting addicted in the early stages then he can get out from that easily and can continue to play the gambling as well but the serious addict people need to completely stay away from the any types of gambling to get out from it or else it will make them more worse.

It is better to not get addicted at all and trying to control yourself before even starting to gamble, than to start controlling yourself when you find out that you are getting addicted as you may never know, you would have entered the addictive channel already and still think you are trying to battle it.

It is not an easy thing to be in that zone, as it is war against your own body, spirit and soul and it takes a lot to get out from it.

It is somewhat like a disease that need to be cure otherwise it will destroy your self your life. Addiction is no good, any time of addiction is not good at all. Self discipline and family support can help

In fact, some diseases are even easy to get cure as simple things are what you need to make use of to get out of it, but gambling is one disease that is very hard to get a cure from unless you are able to find someone to help you channel your mind and energy into getting out of that shit. It is to me more like you using your own hands to place a curse on yourself and then you need huge deliverance to get out from.

Its a problem in mind that really affect your decision making, addiction in gambling needs proper guidance and cure, if the person really engage too much
into this addiction, he will no longer control his/her mind, already a disease where mental cure is needed in order to correct the balance off cells
inside the brain where relaxations is needed.

Gambling is that way. It is just a beautiful illusion. Well, there are many reasons behind gambling and mostly people are trying to make money out of it. Some gambles claim that it is fun while others find relief and relaxation in this game. However, the reality is that gambling can only waste money and time. No matter what the reason is, a gambler cannot avoid loss of the mentioned things. Ultimately, a person will get harm in some way.
