For me, it is somewhat a disease already, why? Addiction for me is also sick. Once you've become attached to that addiction, you can never go out on that unless there is someone who will help you stop that addiction. Just like when we are sick, we need to medicate to make us well. I think it is also like that.

Well in some ways it is, but technically speaking, gambling is a habit where we can't avoid it because we are used to do it every single day and not playing it for even a day is a big deficit for us, we can't call it a day without doing it. Gambling addiction is a disease if we wanted to call it that way that we should eradicate or else it will kill us.

Basically it's not forbidden, and I think it's like a risk to the self, and even if it's prohibited by the family, if it's really a hobby/habit, it can't be separated from it. It all depends on each person responding to gambling, about addict or not., it's depending on self-control in a gambling.
It's a disease, which's easy to feel and but., it can be avoided by our self.

I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?
Well first of all gambling is not same as drug addiction because gambling is more easy to cure by just having a family the will always remind you on what risk could you get upon it. And second, I think that gambling is forbidden in most countries and there are some countries where gambling is legal but it should be on adult only. However, due to privacy of bitcoin had, anyone can gambling online because thr identity of that person was hidden.

Sometimes the decision is always depend on us if we need to gamble or not. You know gambling is really one of the worst thing that you can do for me because my parents are both gambler is because of that we experience financial difficulty and there are times that we don't have any money for our allowance in school that's why I consider gambling as worst thing. Addiction is a severe disease that is really hard to give up so all you need to do avoid it is to focus yourself to something that made you forget that gambling.

Any type of addiction can be termed as a mental illness. This includes addiction to gambling, drugs, alcohol.etc. If you are addicted to gambling, and you are unable to stop participating in such activities, then you need medical or psychiatric help.

Maybe sometimes the addiction of gambling we can called a severe diseases that cannot easily remove  or cure with a medicine ,thats why its needed a little by little  to medicating ourself personally by trying to avoid,or educate ourself that in  gambling only 10% will be success and those 90% will turn to debt and frustation.while in other hand there is no institution or government services in my country that threats the person who become a gambling addicted and  if there is,they paid it personaly and not a free.

Gambling addiction is not a disease. It is something a habitual adoption. Because, people stick to it experiencing good return, and the same won't let them go out of gambling even when they were experiencing continued failures leading to loss. This is all because of the considering gambling a regular habitual activity.

I agree , Gambling addiction came from the habit that gambling addicts cant control. Even myself cant think that gambling addiction is a disease. Gamblers just an addict because they have a thing that they want to achieve on playing. Stopping gambling addicts from playing gambling is quite hard but it is only depending on the gambler addict if he/she want to change.

Agree. It really depends on the player, some people get addicted, some not, most of those who consider it as a disease just rely on statistic (the ratio of those who play and who becomes addicted, which is quite disappointing).

True,  it is not a disease but is only a problem.  Addicted gamblers seems like they have mental problems when it comes to their actions and they way they are seeing it.  We know that an addicted  gambler is having a hard time realizing what he is  doing even if people around him are telling him how bad it is. In situations like this,  the people who got hurt badly is the gambler's family and it is painful to see that it looks nothing for the gambler.

But people all do not want the gambling to be spreaded everywhere in this world. If you completely investing money in gambling field that means you are already get addicted in this.
You please ignore whenever you find the continues lose.
After that few weeks later you may invest some fund on it mate.

Yes I truly deep down believe that gambling is a disease.  The thing is, some people are able to control their disease while others are not.
The ones that can control it, example knowing when to stop, more or less have the control necessary so it doesn't ruin your life.

Gambling is not disease, but gambling addiction is disease. Gambling is just a game that if played with good self-control will only be an entertaining game. But if you're addicted to gambling it means you're not playing with good control. You're only going to get a bad thing if you're addicted, that's why gambling addiction is disease.

It depends upon the situation of the person. If you're not in a good manner and a right conduct to handle your situation, you are in the case of can't get away through gambling. And if you're in the situation of a deeper addiction that's really kind of disease who can never been put gambling away from their own life.

At first i thought gambling addiction is a disease but now that im old enough ill definitely agree that it is really not a disease. Its just a problem that the gambler cant stop, they even dont know what are the things that pass by, what they did just to continue/fund their gambling.

I remembered one of my peer told me about her father. She told me that her father came from a well-known and rich family. But her father become addicted in gambling that he couldn't stop it even he is already a parent. He sell some stuff to finance his gambling and he even take drugs. Then it came to the point that he realized that he doesn't have anything now money, his daughter,wife, and stable job. And i merely believe that everything has a peak, when you reach the top you'll realize what your doing is not right so it is really not a disease.

For me, it is somewhat a disease already, why? Addiction for me is also sick. Once you've become attached to that addiction, you can never go out on that unless there is someone who will help you stop that addiction. Just like when we are sick, we need to medicate to make us well. I think it is also like that.
That makes sense. Definitely this is nothing but a disease. A wealthy person with a healthy mind goes in a casino on some friend’s request for some time. There he sees how people are doing and earning fake money that would be just going away from them the very next day. But still an image is built on this mind about greed of money and he comes out as poor person with diseases mind.

Gambling addiction is not a disease. It is something a habitual adoption. Because, people stick to it experiencing good return, and the same won't let them go out of gambling even when they were experiencing continued failures leading to loss. This is all because of the considering gambling a regular habitual activity.
True,  it is not a disease but is only a problem.  Addicted gamblers seems like they have mental problems when it comes to their actions and they way they are seeing it.  We know that an addicted  gambler is having a hard time realizing what he is  doing even if people around him are telling him how bad it is. In situations like this,  the people who got hurt badly is the gambler's family and it is painful to see that it looks nothing for the gambler.

At first i thought gambling addiction is a disease but now that im old enough ill definitely agree that it is really not a disease. Its just a problem that the gambler cant stop, they even dont know what are the things that pass by, what they did just to continue/fund their gambling.

I remembered one of my peer told me about her father. She told me that her father came from a well-known and rich family. But her father become addicted in gambling that he couldn't stop it even he is already a parent. He sell some stuff to finance his gambling and he even take drugs. Then it came to the point that he realized that he doesn't have anything now money, his daughter,wife, and stable job. And i merely believe that everything has a peak, when you reach the top you'll realize what your doing is not right so it is really not a disease.
 


When we have a behaviour problem that we can't stop by ourself(addiction in this case), that means we got a disease. If we let it remain unsolved, we can get a big disaster. Hence, addiction to anything is a disease.

Any type of addiction can be termed as a mental illness. This includes addiction to gambling, drugs, alcohol.etc. If you are addicted to gambling, and you are unable to stop participating in such activities, then you need medical or psychiatric help.
You mean (mental) Illness = disease. We all have different point of views about gambling addiction as a disease or illness. Others are describing it as a problem and to tell you guys that having addiction can be categorized as a disease, you'll think of how you can get out of it. But still we can't argue on this thing as I've said before, we all have different meaning of what addiction really is and whatever the answer base on one's opinion, there's nothing with it.
