There are so many negative sides to gambling addiction, but sometimes it's not as bad as we think if we can control ourselves. Usually the gambling addict has felt pleasure from the gambling winnings he got so he keeps thinking it's so easy to get it, he's lulled by the pleasure and hope to get it back, the very sad thing for gambling addicts is that when bankruptcy occurs, there is not much to hope for when we go bankrupt even relatives will walk away

Sure, it can indirectly cause these or lead to these problems, but not necessarily. In short: Every gambling addict is different, not all gambling addicts are violent for example. Stress alone should be pretty severe to cause high blood pressure. It's caused by wrong nutrition, and obesity way more than that. That said, stress is never good for you.

And there are different levels in any addiction. Many addicts are highly functional and can keep on doing productive work and successful social life. We just rarely hear about them, as as their negative behavior, what ever kind that is, is not seen by anyone close to them. Any kind of addiction is always taxing from something in our life, but sometimes it's just a vice, that has replaced even worse vice, like smoking.

Now i sound like i am taking addiction lightly. That's not my point. My point is that those symptoms you are listing are over simplifying.
