Are There Drug Options for Gamblers' Disorderlyness?

[Becky666]

I had heard many of my friends who are into gambling complain to me about gambling disorder but couldn’t understand what that means until recently when a close associate got into the same mess and need help, but I was helpless because I couldn’t give the right answers to his question. This friend is almost turning into something else and needs help.

There no drugs for this problem i think.

The best for your friend to do is seek professional help, i mean this problem is psychological and i think he need to see a psychiatrist.

I'm not an expert on this but i can somewhat relate as i'm also a gambler and just fortunate that i can control myself, gambling-wise.

This is an mental and emotional problem, there's no drug that could help an addicted gambler, he need to reailze his mistake so he can change his bad behavior, this is like being addicted to drugs, one who is addicted will undergo a rehabilitation that would make him stay away from the problem, in a peaceful place he will be lecture and let him realize his mistake.

I experience being addicted, but the problem was not too serious because I realize early and now able to fully control myself when gambling.

old habits die hard. but you just can't add another habit to make the other disappear or he'd be addicted to drugs. thats another problem once again. what he needs is a habit that will make him occupied and forget about gambling like a woman in his life who will help him become a better person. this girl could be challenging to find though.
or maybe a job or a business that will keep him busy. if all don't work then a professional help.

Do you mean gambling additcs? If you mean gambling addicts, it is very difficult to stop gambling, and the more addicts gamble, the more they are losing. But very still possible for him to leave gambling to have right mindset back.

The best you can do as a friend is to tell your him to stop gambling for now, let him know the truth that he is just having false thinking that he can make it with gambling, gambling is just for fun, not a way to make money because losses can result. Tell him to tell his people, this will help him to stop. Also, he can try to see a psychologist about it, this will help.

This person work in the private sector but not marry, he has girlfriends but they couldn't hold him down for long. Sincerely speaking, can it be possible to send into his system malware to crash all his apps: i mean get him frustrated out of this mess?, he's such that doesn't want open games(Table games). Am also considering the laws of the land and means to get the malware, he's almost going destitute.

You are just making it worst for your friend if you or someone else will give him drugs just to control his bad behaviour due to his gambling habit. Might be better to really seek professional health and go to some intervention to help him cope with his addiction. I know the feeling because I also have friends who really went into this episodes in their life and he and his family goes to a doctor.

This will affect to his daily life, I think almost people right now are using internet and technology for doing anything it could be for work, communicate with friends etc so I don't think it's good. If all apps were crashed, his phone are useless and can't be used for anything, probably he will more frustrated to repair his phone to fill up his gambling addiction.

Even there's a medicine or drugs for temporary cured his gambling addiction, it's not good for his health if he need to consume it for his daily life. I think it can be cured by professional person or fucked up of his loss, sometime people will learn after realize their past mistakes/bad habit.

[Jating]

I'm not really sure if there is a direct link between gambling addiction and a certain drug to cure it.

However, I might be thinking that addicts in the beginning of their gambling withdrawal should be given like a drug for depression because for sure they will go on this bout. I'm not a doctor though, so it's better to really visit and talk to a medical professional, best of luck to you and your friend.

[romero121]

Thats a wrong information, there is no specific drugs for gamblers disorder. Some extreme cases out of addiction get into hard stress. This can't be bearable, and at those occasions they were provided with sedatives. Maybe those sedatives were misunderstood as specific drugs for gambling.

Man, I am very sorry to hear that your friend is experiencing this situation. Unfortunately, there are no drugs that work against addiction in its general sense. The most effective method that I can suggest is to seek professional help in order your friend may deviate his attention from gambling.

I have a few friends who gamble and I personally witnessed them hit rock bottom on their finances. What made them change their ways was their will to change themselves because it affected their family as well. The first step in addressing this issue must come from their personal realization because if they continue thinking that what they are doing is correct, they will never stop gambling.

I really hope that your friend gets through this difficult ordeal; but not all hope is lost!

[swogerino]

A drug surely can be created for this based on how much medical science has advanced but we have not one yet available and I doubt there will be.Gambling is a billion dollars industry and surely they influence the right people for this to never happen.I am afraid we are on our own in this issue and we should learn self control as this is the only available cure we have for compulsory gambling.

[Hydrogen]

There is debate on how effective drugs can be at treating existing health conditions.

A general rule of thumb says pharmaceutical drugs exhibit desired reactions in less than 50% of the population. Differences in genes and DNA cause individuals to react differently to the same drug. Science has not advanced to a point where it is capable of custom designing a drug to suit individual DNA. The best that can be hoped for is a one size fits all approach.

I would urge caution in utilizing any pharmaceutical drug to treat mental conditions. Sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease. Even so called performance enhansing drugs like steroids can be very damaging to a person's health. As can be seen in the large number of unfortunate deaths in WWE pro wrestlers due to heart conditions caused by steroid abuse.

[imstillthebest]

i think gambling addiction is no difference to other types of addiction and i have seen medication and injection given to addicted patients in the rehab not because im one of them but i seen it in the films and tv shows .
gambling disorder is easy to understand because the word disorder means there is something wrong with you but you dont need to be guilty if you cant help because you are not an expert on this .
 does your friend dont have a family ? talk to them so they can take your friend to the real expert .

[nakamura12]

There is no drugs that can be used to help fix the problem of your friend. I think there might be a drug that can decrease the urge to gamble. It can be fixed but must have undergo some rehabilitation. In your friend's case is mental problem, I think your friend can't control or prevent the urge to gamble that's what I think but rehabilitation is what will help your friend to undergo a therapy.

[michellee]

I think they need to go to a psychiatrist to help solve the gambling problem related to their health and psychics. The gambling problem comes to their mind because they are always thinking about gambling. If that continues, I am afraid they can get the disorder psychiatric sooner or later if they do not get the right. I do not think that drugs can help them, well, maybe that can help them temporarily but that will always appear in their mind many times.

[bitzizzix]

If you want to find it, there is definitely a cure for addicts, but it must be driven with genuine intent and how good it is to get rid of gambling addiction naturally.
And a more effective way, you have to try to get closer to God, close all access to online and offline gambling, look for new activities that are more useful and always think positive, often hang out with family or good people.
You can also find professional people such as good friends, doctors and psychotherapists and so on.

Yes, we are having the same thought here.
I was thinking if they are also in lockdown. This could be the best chance for rehabilitation.
Block every gambling site/games that he always enters and it should also be done in his smartphone.

Find someone trusted who offers this kind of service.
I think it will just need a little tinkering in the internet system to avoid it or an application that can block keywords and sites.
They do this in our office before and we cannot enter social media sites. Good luck.
