As a gambler it's important to know how to control your emotions and discipline yourself, not just in the aspect of gambling but in every other area of life. Emotional instability caused by depression can lead to a whole lot of regretful actions. Gambling when you are having mixed emotions can cloud your judgment and also affect the decisions you make, at that point you wouldn't mind if you are losing and you can keep going till you have nothing left all under the excuse of chasing your losses. I have had some experiences where I decided to gamble when I was emotionally down and I regretted my actions. Some cases are actually a psychological issue where gamblers knowingly try to make themselves sad by ruining their financial life consciously, this is rare but it happens. Don't engage in gambling when you are depressed, if you are looking for a distraction try to do something productive instead.
If you're emotionally high or low on a regular basis then you probably need to stay away from gambling period as you will probably throw yourself into major depression once the high wears off, or go deeper into depression while the low is happening. Gambling is a bif roller coaster with lots of highs and lows and you need to be emotionally stable to handle it properly.

Not the right time if we ourselves are experiencing depression and gambling, in general, in my opinion gambling can affect our emotions and when we are in a state of depression then even spele things can make our emotions peak so I don't think it should be when we are Depression does gambling, maybe it's better to find other things that are more minimal because gambling in my opinion is a big enough risk.
Besides gambling involves self -control, and I'm sure you know about this. A person who is in a good condition can experience excessive emotions, and as the saying goes to prevent better than cure, so it's better not to do gambling when our situation is not okay or other words is when depressed. Gambling when in a state of depression maybe it has the opportunity to make us even more depressed and it is terrible.

The points do not apply to all gamblers at all. I do not want to exclude certain moments of gambling. I go to gamble when I feel like I can gamble now, but when I am mentally ill or unable to make good decisions, I prefer to refrain from gambling. Sometimes I gamble to relieve frustration or to calm down, but refrain from gambling at the moment when you cannot control yourself. There is nothing wrong with gambling in times of frustration or happiness, but if you have the possibility of being uncontrollable, it is better for you to refrain from gambling. You can lose everything by gambling at such times.
Are there gamblers who play at the casino who are depressed? It seems like such a scenario is difficult if evwr really has such a problem. All I've experienced is that when I have a lot of thoughts or worries, I just temporarily get through them by playing gambling at the casino.
But I've never gambled when I was depressed, because usually when you're depressed, your feelings are uncontrollable, so you don't care if you win or lose, like that.

Finally I decided to gamble non-stop, no matter how much I lost in each session, I kept making deposits to vent my frustration. In a few days I finally lost about $ 6000, at first I didn't regret my actions
Any proof of your words? 
Lost 6k and dont feel any regret? Good to be rich Try to understand sentence by sentence, I made it coherent there. I said that I had no regrets when I first lost it all, but as time went by & I was no longer depressed, I realized that what I had done was stupid. Don't want to debate, because I believe it would be an endless debate.
There are people who bet solely for the adrenaline of seeing their teams triumph, and not to make money. They get distracted watching the games, and this can be beneficial for them as it helps them escape problems and negative thoughts. Therefore, I don't think it's bad in all cases, as long as they don't have gambling addiction issues or haven't had them in the past.
Gambling is very closely related to mental health. The results will greatly affect each other. In general, gambling can cause stress, anxiety, emotional, depression, and other mental health problems. Well, if gambling in normal conditions can be risky, what about when you are depressed, wouldn't it be much riskier?

- - Emotional rollercoaster, yes, our emotions are certainly very unstable and uncontrolled.

If gambling is your escape route from depression, you would gamble lots, lose a lot in the process, and even become more depressed. Finding other activities that are more associative can help ease the burden of depression. Depression can be best handled when you have someone to talk to.
Choosing gambling as medicine for depression can lead to suicidal thoughts because gambling on it's own has been a root cause for the depression some individuals have faced. Deciding to now make something that can be a cause of depression, a cure for depression, will not yield a good outcome.

For a good gambler, there may be no problem controlling their gambling time according to their emotions and conditions. But for addicted gamblers, I think it will be difficult to have such control. No matter the state of being depressed because of depression or certain problems, when they want to gamble then they will do it.
The result may be worse because the gambler will continue to think about the pressure they get. But is it possible that the condition of being depressed with a problem and the gambler seeks pleasure to forget his problems for a moment with gambling?
I can gamble at anytime at any condition so far I do not go against my gambling responsible habits. I have gambled when I was happy several times in the past and I lost money. Sometimes making me to chase losses and I continue to lose. If I feel like gambling and I am not happy, I will gamble so far I continue to gamble responsibly. But if I am depressed, gambling can not come my mind that time. But if I feel like gambling, I will gamble.
Can you gamble if you strongly want to pee and you stuck in a traffic jam?
Anyway, it was just a joke, dont take it serious. I also can gamble in any condition when I feel like I want to. If OP suggest not to gamble when depressed, what about those who gamble to kill depression and have fun? What about having a moment when a win changes your mood. Disagree with OP suggestion. Gambling is situational. Finally I decided to gamble non-stop, no matter how much I lost in each session, I kept making deposits to vent my frustration. In a few days I finally lost about $ 6000, at first I didn't regret my actions

I really relate to the topic you made, it happened a few years ago when I thought that I was not worthy of love because I was dumped by my girlfriend even though our relationship had been going on for 7 years & almost got married. But all those hopes were gone, I was looking for money for the purpose of marriage, after I was dumped I didn't think that money was no longer important because my main objective in finding all that money was gone.
Finally I decided to gamble non-stop, no matter how much I lost in each session, I kept making deposits to vent my frustration. In a few days I finally lost about $ 6000, at first I didn't regret my actions, but over time I realized that I had done something stupid because I was depressed.

Many people confuse depression with apathy. With deep depression, a person is unlikely to have enough strength to bury himself even further in gambling. Systematic losses will only drive a person into depression; this is rather one of the aspects. Without the support of loved ones or a specialist, it is very difficult to get out of there and it takes a lot of time; this is not a cold that will pass in a week. 
Don't gamble when depressed
That's for sure, depression is not a good solution for carrying out gambling activities, where your mental health is disturbed, clearly your mood and thoughts are uncomfortable when carrying out activities, sometimes many of us continue to force ourselves to gamble, even though the mood and mind are in a state of depression, obviously it will be fatal to experience real losses for them.Gambling is done when the mood and mind are calm, it will add real points to those involved in the gambling arena, for that reason we often hear people mention gambling for fun, maybe that's part of it, depression is not part of the fun, of course gambling when depressed is a real disaster for them.
Yeah you are right, one needs to be in the right state of mind when predicting a game, however it all depends on the kind of person you are, for some people there emotional state those not affect prediction, so if you know your emotional state always affect your prediction then don't predict when ever you are depressed, frustrated or in pain but if your emotional state don't matter for you then you can predict,
People who will never see there emotional state as something that can affect there prediction is those who see gambling as a game of luck, because they predict game without research or thinking about the best prediction to use in other to win, all they do is to select games randomly and predict what ever that comes to there mind, but those that do proper research and calculation will never predict a game when there emotional state is damaged, reasoning being that they won't think well anymore there brain won't be in the right state for research, so I will advise you do what ever works well for you.

Don't gamble when you are depressed. Don't gamble when you are sad. Don't gamble when you are happy. Whenever you are experiencing very high or very low emotions, do not gamble. The emotions may be possible or negative.
Some cases are actually a psychological issue where gamblers knowingly try to make themselves sad by ruining their financial life consciously, this is rare but it happens. Don't engage in gambling when you are depressed, if you are looking for a distraction try to do something productive instead.
This is like comfort eating. Where you eat glutonnosly becuase you are heart broken. Another people are those who do impulse buying because for the same reason. This happens eventhough rarely as it is not reported but is happens. They just want to finish up their savings until they stop. If their savings are not reduced, they won't stop gambling. And it leads to deeper depression. 
You gambling activities should not be linked with your feelings or emotions.
Gamble with the brain and not with the heart... When we become emotional players things will never end fine because we are wagering based in a "Good feeling", and if we have the feeling that a good win is getting close but it never comes, then we can get on a deep hole.
When we are depressed gambling or drinking is a terrible option and we should stay away from those two bad habits until we feel better.
When I was new to gambling, I lost money, but I regretted it a lot and decided to remove myself from gambling. But later, although I collected money and entered gambling, I learned to adopt some strategies temporarily and thus gradually gained some experience. However, there was regret for losing money, but I drank my alcohol with my friends so that I could stay away from the regret of losing it.
This was a big incident in my life, from which I learned the techniques of keeping my mind calm, when I enter gambling, I divide the money into several parts and gamble with a part of it. And whenever I face losses in one or two games, I immediately withdraw from gambling and retire.

Yeah thats right. Only those who gamble depress end up in a bad situation. Normally some people got depress more when they are playing since they needed money for their own used. People should learn to keep money for gambling separately from their everyday funds or emergency fund to avoid such situation like they needed to borrow and use it to gamble. I known a lot with this kind of problems.
