Well, for rich countries that have made the gambling industry part of the country where it's taking a big revenue share, they really have programs for the addicted gamblers.
But as far as I know, in other countries that don't have to take much attention to this, there's nothing that you can see on how they act with addicted gamblers.
IMHO, I think instead of medical treatment, it should be more with counseling and psychological treatment.

Indeed mental disorders such as gambling addicts must see a psychiatrist, such treatment may be very useful for most addicts. In my country if there are addicts then they will go to the doctor but depending on the economic capacity as well, there are those who run to shamans or are left alone until they become crazy. The regulations in my country are strict if a gambler is caught gambling, he is immediately jailed.
And yeah so far there's no medicines directly intended for such kind of gambling addictions made available as of now and only psychiatrists can help those affected gambling addict on their situation. But above all, all these medications and consultation will not be enough if theres no cooperation or willingness that the gambling addict show for the treatment of his addiction. I think this kind of problem should be addressed properly with the help of government.
Well in fact prisons have also been provided by the government so that they can do activities and approach with an open mind for any addicts to be free from addiction, but no one is willing go to prison either. The government in my country judges from the point of view of the law and the applicable subsection, but the subsection is that a person who gambles must be punished first for a deterrent effect. I think There should be a special place to clear the mind from addiction, like a mental hospital not prison that's so sad because a gambler is not a criminal, we want fun but are lulled by the fun.
Addiction is addiction, it doesn't matter what it is as long as you can't control yourself or stop from keep doing the same routine then you really need help. Medications aren't enough itself if you, yourself won't help to change or cope up what's best and what is bad for you.
The government might be trying their best to help those in trouble but for some countries like the third world countries, there isn't enough people who could afford to go and ask for their help when all they could offer in exchange is nothing. Except for the self-awareness that they were fucked up.
There’s no medication for addiction, but a rehab can be a big help and I agree that not everyone can afford that because it will take a lot of money and time before you totally recover, and some are not able to reach that stage. Addiction in gambling can really ruin your life, so help yourself to avoid it and don’t expect a big help from any gambling site, be more responsible. The government might be trying their best to help those in trouble but for some countries like the third world countries, there isn't enough people who could afford to go and ask for their help when all they could offer in exchange is nothing. Except for the self-awareness that they were fucked up.

Medications are just temporary treatment but to get out from this addiction is to totally change the lifestyle of the person. He needs professional help while he is starting a new life because it would be too difficult at the early stage. He needs to know the reason why he is changing for the betterment of his life. Because without strong will and reason, he will only go back to where he was. Not many countries can dedicate this kind of assistance because as you said, there are other more important things to attend to. Now, it is on the person himself if he wants to change or not. This is the brutal truth.
and it is true that addiction is something that couldnt really be that easy to solve with but it isnt impossible to solve out but it would really start on yourself first.
There are services which might be available but we know that it wouldnt really be that cheap as far as im hearing.
Is your country doing enough to inform people about the disorder? It's does require medical treatment first and foremost therefore I do think I would suggest anyone banning their accounts and asking help from social platforms to go to a certified therapist. It's not a joke and should not be taken lightly.
Do you think the laws needs improvement?
Do you think as the parents mentioned that Gambling industry has a *predatory* stance, is true?
Unfortunately in my country, there's no campaign for treatment for gambling disorders as far as I know you have to do this on your own by seeking professional help on your own, even though gambling in our country is one of our country's cash cows and the casinos are managed by the government if gambling is an expensive addiction so is the treatment and it needs the help of the family and professional to cure this disease.

Gambling industry has a *predatory* stance
yes and no, they have a warning about responsible gambling and some features that will not allow you to gamble for a period of time they are here for entertainment but it's the individual's lack of control that harm them. Addiction is addiction, it doesn't matter what it is as long as you can't control yourself or stop from keep doing the same routine then you really need help. Medications aren't enough itself if you, yourself won't help to change or cope up what's best and what is bad for you.

This made me go further in the article to find more about Gambling disorder, according to the current education, it's categorized under impulsive disorder, in the US they are actually treated with medicine like : Mood stabilizers, Opioids, antidepressants and antipsychotic pills.
Since it's an impulsive disorder it means the problem isn't with gambling itself, but with the individual who can't control his impulses, actions and emotions. If the disorder doesn't manifest with gambling, it will possibly manifest in another areas of the individual's life where he won't be able to control himself as well. So the solution isn't to modify laws to make them stricter, otherwise every activities people could get addicted to will have to be forbidden too. It seems the solution on short term are the medicines you mentioned above and on long term therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, which will help the person to improve his capacity of dealing with his emotions, thoughts and feelings.

Of course, the law and protection against gambling addiction should be improved. I think there is not enough information on the risks of gambling. The fact that the law does not deal with the threats can be seen, for example, by the fact that at the moment there is a very popular among streamers to show how easily they win in casinos. Of course, they play for fake money and get paid by the casino, but young people don't know it and think it's so easy to win. The dream of easy, huge money makes them start gambling and at best they lose everything and at worst, they get addicted.

In my country for any form of gambling you need to be at least 18 years old, this is very strictly enforced. Any casinos allowing minors to gamble will lose their licence, I needed to show my ID always when entering a physical casino, even for just watching and not playing myself. As for the advertising it is also highly regulated, any form of ads need to mention that gambling can lead to addictions and offer a hotline where people can get help. These are already strict rules in place and should not be improved in my opinion. Looking at the alcohol or tobacco industry, I would say that that both of them are more harmful to humans than gambling. Also there are more people addicted to cigarettes or alcohol than to gambling. Addictions can happen with many things in life, there is usually other problems involved than just the addiction itself. That's why saying that gambling industry is at fault is wrong. It's easier for the family to put the guilt on the gambling sector, when in reality they should have also helped their son to take a break from gambling.
I have seen several people who was hardly devastated financially because of the uncontrollable gambling addiction. I have to agree that the government should be aware of this and give more attention to a rising cases for gambling addiction, however, due to the tons of government issues my country is facing, this kind of disorder have always been overlooked and were taken lightly.
I guess the first step to this is to hold the gambling company liable for such cases. The gambling company should be at least the first to know If there is a significant increase of betting amount and gambling time for an individual, thus they should reach out to this individual, and then the gambling company will be the one to report it to the authorities so the government will take action from there.
For sure government are aware of this, but maybe they are torn because the money generated by the casinos is huge for them. I guess the money they received can somewhat help those who are addicted and they can set up facilities to help those people. Yes, people are to blame here, but at least the government have the responsibilities to help and take action.I guess the first step to this is to hold the gambling company liable for such cases.

when it comes to economic taxes which it is normal for government to mind or give out some priorities but somehow they do give out some services which do really help out those addicted gamblers.
There are some consulting services or something like that which do solve out the possible problems ahead.

Any drug addiction starts with small dosages and gradually the dosages increase as the body quickly becomes addicted to any substance. If a person cannot cope with gambling addiction on his own, it is a mistake to think that he will be able to stop using antidepressants or opiates which are offered to him as treatment.
Maybe not, the treatment done by a specialist will not make a person addicted forever because they will reduce the dose to a smaller than before that is adjusted to the behavior and level of addiction to gambling or something else.Not everyone likes gambling addiction treatment with antidepressants or the like because there are other things that are more likely to be done without taking drugs. These are all just solutions and they shouldn't do it if they don't like it. If it's me, then I prefer to do activities that are more beneficial to reduce the desire to gamble, much less likely to be exposed to drugs.
I was going through my feed when I saw this article :

According to the article the parents of the 24 Year old teacher blamed inadequate Gambling treatment and medicines available right now, also improper assesment of Gambling disorder. Their son became an addict by using fixed odds at the age of 16-17 and ultimately his addiction spiralled out of control.

It's a tough situation because the persons age is definitely the point of contention here. Nobody who is 16-17 should be allowed anywhere near such gambling machines because their brain is still developing and they might get hooked on gambling much easier than somebody older. There should be a cut off, say 21 or 25, where people need to at some point take responsibility for their own actions - whether that is abstaining entirely and/or getting appropriate treatment. However gambling companies are often quite subversive in how they target younger generations and it often takes regulators a lot time to take corrective actions. I feel bad for the person in the article, but they should not have been allowed on the premises or be able to use such machines in the first place, maybe the owners of the property with the gaming machines on (that make a nice profit) also need to share responsibility.

If a person cannot cope with gambling addiction on his own, it is a mistake to think that he will be able to stop using antidepressants or opiates which are offered to him as treatment. Early childhood education on gambling, sex and drugs is very important, because, without proper education and direction, young people will become addicts who are difficult to stop
In my country, I have noticed that this kind of education has begun to decrease, so that underage addicts (drugs, sex and gambling) are increasing. it takes hard work from the government to be able to minimize the damage that occurs to the younger generation

Its been there from the olden days. Only the platform changes not the addiction to it. Yes, its the individual who has to have a self control when he feels he is going over to his limit. But yes its the environment that attracts him back. But yes he has to avoid going to such places if he wishes to come out of addiction. I would say, everyone involved in it, starting from who organizes till who approves are responsible for one's addiction. Govt should focus on individual's as equally they focus on other stuffs.
you would definitely just keeps coming back and create even more problems if you do tolerate yourself and not really that serious on avoiding it at all cost.Somehow, some factors could really influence your decisions
on which if you do actively seeing the environment to be on that way then most likely it would make the situation more worst.

I don't think it is right to treat gambling addiction with opiates or antidepressants, as these substances are also addictive. As I understand it they temporarily suppress cravings for gambling addiction but do not relieve gamblers from addiction.
For the right dosage, it would probably be a good solution. While several other things also succeeded in suppressing his desire to gamble such as having a better job or doing more useful activities. But of course a person will not be recommended to take this type of drug without the supervision of a doctor or expert.For severe addiction, the gambler may have to see a psychologist for the purpose of changing his or her mindset about gambling. I've found quite a number of people going crazy from excessive drugs or alcohol, but it's hard to find someone addicted to gambling going crazy. This means that gambling addiction can still be controlled in several ways or medication if the gambler really wants to stop gambling.
