this is news to me, I've read articles talking about people being more prone to gambling addiction because of their genetics but this is the first time I reading that people with ADHD are at higher risk of falling victim to gambling addiction. thanks for sharing.
From the information that you provided on ADHD patients and gambling, it is impossible for them to gamble without causing disasters due to lack of impulse to control their emotions. This means that if you know anyone with ADHD that is gambling, you will simply know if he is harming himself or not.

It's a serious concern if he is part of a family I will have to talk to every member of the family for help and consult with his physician on the next course of action; mere advising will not work because we all know ADHD has a character very different from us.

Proven Link Between ADHD and Gambling Disorder
One of the primary symptoms of ADHD is impulsivity. From a behavioral perspective, impulsivity is characterized by a number of actions that are inappropriate or even dangerous to a given situation. Those without impulse control tend to act quickly with no thought to consequences. It should therefore come as no surprise that ADHD and gambling are intrinsically linked. Lack of impulse control certainly sets the table for trouble when it comes to casino gaming and sports betting.
