It is a condition and not a disease. A disease is where harmful organisms affects your body in a negative way. Gambling addiction also affects you bad but it is only in the mind but you can defeat it by having a string support from your loved ones and also with a good discipline.

When a person get addicted to gambling it can be both physical and mentally as well. Because if mentally he is disturbed then physically he will also get effected in the long run and this addiction is something which will take your money away as well from you.

Getting involved in gambling and doing it without control will lead to addiction. Usually every one who do gambling that become addicted is went to disease due to mental disability.

You don't understand the definition. If a disease affects you mentally and your constantly in a bad mood it doesn't turn it into an addiction. This works both ways if an addiction drains you physically it doesn't turn into a disease. It's still an addiction with additional effects that appear over time. Don't try to make your own definitions, there's already enough of them.

Gambling is disease.same like addiction to drugs
There was researches done.Whan people gamble brain is emitating some chemic substances.
It is reason why is so hard to stop gamble

I agree with you.
Gambling addiction is a disease because we talk about addiction, it is a psychological disease and people should get help to recover.

It is indeed a psychological disease since it totally affects the victim's reasoning and ability to make proper decisions. Although, rather than call it a disease, I would rather call it a problem or mental issue. This is the reason why it is always important to at least be able to find some help from social gatherings or shrinks so as to be able to get back those senses which when lost to gambling, is always hard to retrieve.

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?

It could be said that it was a disease, because if someone had fallen into gambling it would be difficult to take it off, and it had a bad effect of losing all the money,
At least it is not much different from drug addicts, too, and if you want to quit, it can only be done with its own and strong intentions

I am not a doctor nor anything of sort but I do know there is a difference to disease, a disorder and you can also illness there in the group. As far as I can remember, diseases are always related to bacterias like cold and other sort. Disorder on the other hand has a connection to our mental state and it might started on the time we are conceived and illness, I don't know the exact words my teacher said but it is like a combination of disease and illness. So Gambling addiction is not a disease nor an illness but it is a disorder, a mental disorder.

Lol does not need a doctor to say that addicts are diseases, and illness is not always interpreted as a basis for reaction from bacteria
or the like, everyone knows that being an addict is a disease and it must be cured so as not to harm you in the long run..

Diseases can easily be removed because you know you need a drug to get rid of it and be able to leave a better life. In this case, you know what you are up against. However, when it comes to gambling, it is even hard for the addict to realize he is lost in himself and into gambling, let alone know he needs help.

Most addicts usually could not just help it and no matter what, this is the reason they tend to keep going back even when they know things are not going right with their mental reasoning and that is more than a disease but a psychological disorder.

It's not necessarily a disease but more like a drug. And just like most other drug, you can get addicted to it. And that would mean you would be spending all your time and effort to gamble which is bad for you.
A disease on the other hand is more like a disorder or a malfunction of a human part.

Yeah, it is like a disease, then, it can be easily cured with medicine. Gambling is far more than a disease; it is a big time emotional and mental disorder in a way. This is the reason why a lot of people end up going through rehabilitation at least to get out of it. Diseases can easily be gotten out from, but not something like addiction where your self-control has been fully hijacked. This is why it is necessary to be in control as much as possible even if you want to end up gambling.

many reasons why someone can be addicted to gambling, one of them is because they like the game and they can do gambling activities every day so it can be concluded that someone who is addicted to gambling is almost similar to a disease that is difficult to cure

you can also add the thrill gambling offers you wouldn't know what will happen and you can rarely see things that can make you thrill compare to what gambling offers, i guess this is the reason why people find gambling as form of entertainment.

If it is addiction to people or they really cannot leave gambling then yes it is a disease which will eventually make the person poorer as more he/she plays will lose more and will have a bad effect on their health and relationship as well.

if people experiencing this then they should seek help from family or doctors whoever they can get help to, to also prevent more damage in the future as well as a potentially destroying others lives and even their life as well.

Gambling will become a disease when gambling itselft already controlled someone's mind, when a person doesn't do anything else in his life but gambling. Gambling regularly doesn't necessarily become a benchmark that we are addicts. As long as we don't spend our time just for gambling, we still do other activities like people in general, and don't use all of our money for gambling purposes, I think we are still safe.

Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. We are all addicts! I have my rituals, everyone has it. If you like something there are high chances that you will be addicted to it if you use it or do it everyday! With strong mind you can control yourself and your activities, with weak mind you will always be week when temptation comes in any form. Weak people needs medications to makes them stronger, and there are many weak people in the world. Addiction can be a disease if someone can`t control anymore, why to not give that person some drugs? Drugs can help them to be stronger and to not think about addiction so much.

No, because it won't kill people just like drugs. At least, not directly. And gambling is easier to stop, not like drug addiction who needs a rehabilitation to stop it.

Not all of the disease could kill us, there are diseases that are not curable but is treatable, and it goes the same to gambling addiction. Gambling addiction is a disease where we found ourselves playing gambling over and over again after losing for so many times already. It is a part of gambling addict's life, a day won't pass by that they are not playing gambling, it is one of their daily routine so eliminating it from them would be tough.

It might not literally kill you, but it might be the reason someday why you will be dead. Maybe you'll starve to death because you don't have money anymore, or maybe you'll get killed because someone has an urge to kill you because you don't pay your debt.

Yes, that's true too, because gambling addiction will also make a person feel depressed because they receive a lot of losses. That way there is also the possibility that they can do negative activities such as stealing etc. So as long as their souls can still be well controlled over addictions in gambling, then they are still in good sanity and not a disease.

It is a psychological issue meaning the more you use to it like winning and losses the more persistent you are to achieve whether to win or to back what you've lose leading to addiction but take note that if you're a normal being you can control not to be addicted to it, you might know when not or to give up.

Why you guys taking gambling is the that much worst investment if you feel this as investment kind of thing. There are people still have gambling as their entertainment factor to make the money but probably they are not making money on this gambling field.

I suggest them to stay away from the gambling investment and go with the sports betting to make the right odds pick on where you want to invest on the gambling field.

Gambling addiction is not a disease but rather leads to mental stress and ambition, ambition to get money quickly in large numbers, ambition to get back the money that has been lost. And will you continue to gamble until when? only each person knows.

I consider it as a disease if you are prone to gambling and cannot stay without it. If you play for fun or to make yourself happy then yes it is good so that you can enjoy. But people consider it as a money making tool and which is a wrong thing.

There are different types of diseases, the most popular one of it, is the one that infects your physical body. Let's take it from your own description of what gambling addiction leads to.

Mental stress, that's a health condition and a disease is related to it. This is only my opinion cause I'm not a doctor but we can consider that gambling addiction is serious and can be classified as a disease but not infectious.
