Maybe not gambling is considered a sickness, but the gambling habits that wrong can become sickness. I think if someone gamble is still in control and do not harm yourself and other people that are still in a normal level. But if people are addicted and losing control in gambling so playing outside the limits it could become sickness. So I think that could be made become sickness is wrong habits.
Gambling will never be considered as a sickness so I agree with this, because gambling is a type of game and not a type of sickness, maybe the topic is not right here, I think something is wrong with this. But for me, we cannot considered gambling as a sickness. But if we get ADDICTED in gambling that's the time that we will going to have a sick and that is called Addicted.
It is called Addiction
, Gambling addiction for gambling. It is impulse control disorder. So yeah a disease.
Gambling is not some kind of a disease or a sickness. It is an activity under a game or amusement that requires wagering for a stake.
I list the meaning of desease and sickness for reference why gambling is neither a disease or sickness
