Gambling addiction or compulsive gambling is a disorder of the mechanisms that control behavior; it causes serious inability to stop participating in bets or in the risks involved in betting.
People with gambling addiction often feel ashamed and try to avoid others from finding out about their problem. Some of the symptoms of compulsive gambling are: committing crimes to obtain money for betting; feeling uneasy or irritable when trying to stop gambling or to gamble less; betting to escape problems or feelings of sadness or loneliness; betting large amounts of money in an attempt to regain previous losses; losing a job, a relationship, a career or academic opportunities because of gambling; lying about the time and money spent gambling; making many unsuccessful attempts to gamble less or the need to borrow money because of losses due to gambling.
Some of the issues associated to gambling addiction are problems with drug and alcohol use, anxiety, depression, heart attacks, suicide attempts and financial, social and legal difficulties.
Gambling addiction, like other addictions, can be overcome through comprehensive treatment that helps the patient that has difficulties controlling the way they gamble to stop such behaviors and develop emotional resources that sustain them without the need to use gambling as an escape from their reality.
