I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?

The two situation is still deffirent because taking drug is illegal and not good at always, but gambling there is still country that gambling where's not illegal and many people playing gambling for just an entertament or enjoyment when it comes to gambling addiction there is many treatment you can ask help to a doctor and yourself also can help you to avoid became addict on gambling.

I think when someone decides to gamble they usually think carefully about what they are doing and usually they do it because of the demands of daily life.

Addiction can sometimes be blamed or not. I myself am still confused in that addiction whether pure can be blamed. especially for gambling addiction, in gambling addiction it is certainly not good for each person. Because, when we don't have money to play. Can it be forced to keep playing. This is what later causes us to sell what we have in order to be able to play gambling. Of course the addiction must be removed as soon as possible.

Those who do not have money to play gambling but they still want to fulfill their gambling addiction. For this purpose they sell their belongings or take loans because they can't give up gambling. By taking loans, if they lose again it will make their life very miserable and difficult and I have seen people regretting who make such mistakes.

Gambling is really up to you if you want to be addicted.
being addict can called a disease.

For me yes gambling can cause of addicted.
Being an addict is not just in drugs addict.
If you cannot control your self in doing in one thing this called addict.
We can call addict in gambling when they cant stop on playing and using money for a bet.

We heard at the news being addicted in gambling can cause of disease like having a heart stroke.lack of sleeping because of non stop playing can harm your body and can cause a lot of disease to your body.
So for me gambling addiction is disease!

We do not need to blame anyone when we have addiction on any gambling games. Nothing will be helpful if you are not aware what next you can do while you facing many failure in gambling.
Take the gambling as entertainment and grasp some strategy to stay strong for some years.
If you not handle gambling as a serious business finally nothing will be long lasting.

Basically all that is excessive will not be good, in this case gambling addiction is also something creepy if it cannot be overcome as we know many gambling addicts eventually commit crimes to continue their lives in gambling and that is the reason why gambling addicts will do actions that cannot be controlled and I still cannot conclude whether gambling addicts are a disease or not.

Every people have their opinion about gambling is disease or not because if you ask to psychiatric, maybe they will say that gambling is a mental disease which needs to be a cure and it needs to train to forget the gambling games.

Yes, the addiction to gambling is classified as a desease. It's a behavioral addiction desease that can be treated in different ways. Read this article: Pathological Gambling : a behavioral addiction (also referred to as the Gambling Disorder)

Quote from: ethereumhunter on May 21, 2019, 08:12:52 AM

But for gamblers, gambling is not a disease, but it's only games that use the money inside the games.

A psychological addiction is like any other kind of addiction; patients would always deny the fact that they are ill, and they will pretend every possible reason just to avoid the feeling of being in trouble with some of their behaviors.

I do beleive that it's a desease even the scientific society failed to specify its kind.

Gambling is not a disease,only the addiction can be disease so you're responsible for addiction if you undergoes.

who is the judge who can set a strong border between a disease and addiction? I guess it is very soft area where out of 10 experts 5 will say it is a disease, and another 5 will say it is just an addiction. Currently there is no method to say it 100%

People who are attached to play gamble aggressively will lead to become stress and anxiety. And if we can't control our emotions and continue to play even we are aware its consequence, then it is a desease that persevere its bad conclusion.

Gambling is kind of entertainment but the people using it in the wrong direction which causes them to be addicted to it for their money making greediness which is considered to be a who's mental disease by the people who are surrounding those addicted people.

Most likely yes, cuz many think like that. Read long time ago that some must say like this conditions can be treated with gambling or some sort of online gambling gaming. This is something that I cannot find out again cuz I cant remember where this was. Try search on google but came up empty.

I think that it depends on certain player. Some people have a good restraint while gambling. Others can't control themself well thus they can be called diseased players.

Yes, of course. Some gambler can control themselves while others cannot control and still lose their money in gambling games. Controlling ourselves will be necessary if we don't want to lose more money.

Gambling addiction is not a disease for those who are doing it normally and controllably but is a mental disease for those who are addicted to it all the time whether they are losing it or winning it they are addicted regardless of this factor. However, sitting all the time also causes physical disabilities and can extend to a disease if care has not been taken on time therefore it should be dealing normally.

Maybe, but some people say that gambling addiction was a disease. I think it depends on their perception of gambling addiction, and they can free to describe what they want. But I agree that gambling addiction is a mental disease and only can cure by visiting a psychiatric and consult with them.

any type of addiction is a disease may it be gambling or not. most medical association in the world agrees that addiction
is a disease. there is also articles and studies that shows why addiction is a disease. you can look for the articles that show
this studies if you are interested.

Medically this is true. Any type of addiction is disease in some way. Many can be treated many dont want to be treated. That leaves only to speculate and to suggest that people need to consider for any of there thing and if necessary to seek help.

What do you think?

in the beginning stage we don't realise it is a disease but once we got the addiction to the end of its situation when we can realise it will not give any normal mindset for you and it will really go with like disease that's why addiction is ended up with the disease.

Yes, most of the people will not consider gambling as a disease, in the beginning, once they start losing more money they will understand Gambling is an addiction and it can easily convert them into diseases which we cannot able to control our emotions.

Yes, it really depends on the gambler, but if we look at the attitude or behavior of a gambling addict we can say it is a mental disease because it’s all in the mind. It’s not like something or a virus that went inside you body as most diseases but it’s the gambler’s mind who is not thinking correctly and not doing what is suppose to be right. It curable I would say but very difficult to do, it needs a lot of effort and also support from the family.
