Is gambling addiction also a result of trauma?

[MakeMoneyBtc]

I would say that gambling addition is mostly due trauma especially childhood trauma. Anyone who has had a traumatic experience will know that if it’s not handled well can lead to addiction and mostly gambling addiction.

This is because gambling gives a lot of joy and happiness to the player and anyone who has suffered trauma will definitely be looking for things to do to experience happiness and forget the trauma, even though it’s a childhood trauma, the only people who has record of trauma and it doesn’t affect their gambling game are those who have been through a rehabilitation program

Childhood traumas only increase the chance of someone getting addicted to something but it doesn't necessarily have to start that addiction. You can't get addicted to something if you never done that thing before, so people choose to start gambling even though they know the chances are they will get addicted and a person that suffered a trauma in his life will only increase his chances of getting addicted

Not sure, how can a person get traumatized by gambling and then become a gambling addict. If they are traumatized in childhood about gambling they will leave gambling and will never return, even though they still want to fight the trauma by continuing to gamble as if it will not cause addiction because of the trauma that makes them have the experience to be able control themselves.

It might be true because people with traumatic experience tend to diversify their attention to other activities wherein they can feel at ease or somehow forget temporarily their bad experience.

But gambling is not often their option, because those people that I know with such experience find alcohol as the answer for their problem that led to addiction.

I think majority of gamblers who became addicted in gambling are those who treat it as their source of income, after losing they chase their losses to recover it back then failed. Lets admit the fact that they thought it as easy money.

Gambling can really give out that easy money that you seek but in exchange its also the easy way to be poor too which would lead to trauma when you experience hardship that comes to a point on where you havent anything left even just for food that circumstance will really give a big impact to your emotion and recovery on such thing wont really be that easy.

Failure and causing our assets to disappear will certainly cause a trauma. This is a necessity that we need to know. The risk of gambling is really great, but as long as we have good ability to maintain good emotional control we can take care of this. The gambling game is actually very fun, but when the person is unable to control properly then that will make it difficult for someone's life. So do emotional control well so that we will be able to get a pleasure.

At first place we do play gambling for the sake of entertainment but if you are already disrupting yourself into stress on playing it then I don't see any point for you to play gambling.You know that you are short tempered or do easily got affected when you do loss money then gambling isn't really for you.There are lots of things that do entertain without the need of spending too much money.

We need to convince our self that we are playing gambling for fun and not for the sake of earning money. Although this is difficult to believe but if we have made the fun to be the ultimate objective of gambling, than most of the problems are solved including gambling addiction.

Anyone that has suffered trauma especially at childhood will end up addicted if it not properly checked whether they play for fun or for money. The problem with addition is not just the objective. Childhood trauma has a way it affects gamblers irrespective of the motive they take into the game. My suggestion is whoever that has the history of trauma should ensure to stay clear from gambling or they must play, the time they spend in playing must really be limited because much time spent in playing can trigger addiction, so it is better to control it from the beginning days itself.

When we talk about childhood trauma, I am sure that it will give a big impact until he grew up. He cannot forget the trauma, and he will start to forget his pain by searching a new thing that can give them a feeling about satisfying himself. And perhaps, gambling can give that feeling since he can forget his problem in the past, he can play without anyone care. But if we let him play for a long time, then he cannot leave the gambling, and he will get big trouble in the future. I guess that childhood trauma is difficult to be a cure and it could be another cause for the person who becomes addicting in gambling.

But maybe the psychiatric can explain the correlation between childhood trauma and gambling or another else that can make someone addicting.

You won't seek gambling if you're in trauma, and if you're thinking that probability gambling is the effect of trauma; well I don't think so. Probably you're in trauma after you've been addicted to a certain thing not just with gambling but also with another matters. So being into traumatic experience is a situations that you won't hope that it will not happen again, but still lingered in our mind. Mostly, people who undergo this type of scenario will have anxieties and become stressed, thinking that they won't recover after such those bad experiences on gambling addiction.

Well that is right. I believe that gambling addiction is a result of motivation for making money. You think it is going to make you money because it is a billion dollar industry; you become part of it and quest to make it possible. This contains both losses and gains and it is human nature that he or she will try to compensate things and try to recover losses by trying again and again which ultimately leads to addiction so I think that it could just be a financial trauma or some unexpected emergency situation of not being rich.

A gambler may avoid addictions by keeping gambling rarely still we do see periodic gamblers are slowly turning as regular gambler as they are getting addicted at their own pace. In summary, not gambling at all may be the only solution to avoiding addictions, it seems.

Traumatized people look for or need any outlet they can get and gambling easily can be one of those. Easily accessed, doesn't need other people's  approval, fun and can quickly pass time. The sad part there is, one traumatizing  experience can lead to another. Most traumatized people aren't emotionally stable yet and gambling can just be another emotional bomb waiting to go off.

I find it hard to believe that childhood trauma could lead a man to becoming an addicted gambler. Off all things to heal the pains or forget the trauma, why did he choose gambling ? I think there are so many other things anyone who has experienced childhood trauma will think of doing like drinking, smoking or even womanizing but definitely not going into gambling.

Majority of addicted gamblers are greedy gamblers who take gambling as a good source of income. Real gamblers who see it as fun, never get addicted because they know how to control themselves in the game.
