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.
