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?

Maybe sometimes the addiction of gambling we can called a severe diseases that cannot easily remove or cure with a medicine ,thats why its needed a little by little to medicating ourself personally by trying to avoid,or educate ourself that in gambling only 10% will be success and those 90% will turn to debt and frustation.while in other hand there is no institution or government services in my country that threats the person who become a gambling addicted and if there is,they paid it personaly and not a free.

Any type of addiction can be termed as a mental illness. This includes addiction to gambling, drugs, alcohol.etc. If you are addicted to gambling, and you are unable to stop participating in such activities, then you need medical or psychiatric help.

Sometimes the decision is always depend on us if we need to gamble or not. You know gambling is really one of the worst thing that you can do for me because my parents are both gambler is because of that we experience financial difficulty and there are times that we don't have any money for our allowance in school that's why I consider gambling as worst thing. Addiction is a severe disease that is really hard to give up so all you need to do avoid it is to focus yourself to something that made you forget that gambling.

Well first of all gambling is not same as drug addiction because gambling is more easy to cure by just having a family the will always remind you on what risk could you get upon it. And second, I think that gambling is forbidden in most countries and there are some countries where gambling is legal but it should be on adult only. However, due to privacy of bitcoin had, anyone can gambling online because thr identity of that person was hidden.

Basically it's not forbidden, and I think it's like a risk to the self, and even if it's prohibited by the family, if it's really a hobby/habit, it can't be separated from it. It all depends on each person responding to gambling, about addict or not., it's depending on self-control in a gambling.
It's a disease, which's easy to feel and but., it can be avoided by our self.

For me, it is somewhat a disease already, why? Addiction for me is also sick. Once you've become attached to that addiction, you can never go out on that unless there is someone who will help you stop that addiction. Just like when we are sick, we need to medicate to make us well. I think it is also like that.

Well in some ways it is, but technically speaking, gambling is a habit where we can't avoid it because we are used to do it every single day and not playing it for even a day is a big deficit for us, we can't call it a day without doing it. Gambling addiction is a disease if we wanted to call it that way that we should eradicate or else it will kill us.

It is easy to recover when you are sick medically for instance you have high fever or suffering from flu but hard to recover in case of mental illness. Addiction is a mental disorder where your brain allows you to do that certain activity which is harming you even against your will. Brian is controlling our all body part so problem with it is troublesome for all body. Keep it as healthy and fresh as possible.

to ban something does not work. even in prisons are the drugs for example.
think it should be classified as a disease, such as alcoholism, and that there should be support to get.

alcoholism wasnt a disease either..how would we expect government to restrict people from gambling when they are the number one beneficiary of this..look how huge are the taxes gathered by the government because of gambling.and here you are looking for the action to answer th question..expect nothing or if theres some itjust for publicity not for the real intentions

I think gambling with drugs is a different matter. more medicine for physical and gambling more to the mental. Gambling addiction can only be solved by people who are addicted to gambling with the help of support from the nearest person, can also with the help of a psychiatrist.

There are too many legit issues in the world so I don't bother much on gambling. I always gamble since I was in college but I learned thru time and won't really put much money I cannot afford to lose. At least if someone gets broke on gambling it was a choice unlike many old practices in the world that still exist. Grin

Other diseases such as cancer, diabetes and so on require expert handling to cure it. We depend on others to cope with the disease. While in the case of addiction, others can only help us to eliminate the addiction. It rely on ourselves if we want to cure our addictions.

Disease can be passed to another person or get spread

That's totally false, and you should just stay silent rather than spread falsehoods. Diabetes is a disease and it's not catchy, same for thousands of other ones.

Compulsive gambling won't be a disease until medicine defines it as such, that's the bottom line. We can debate it all we want, but none of us is responsible for defining that particular word. I happen to think that addiction to substances is a disease, and compulsive gambling shares a lot of the same characteristics with chemical addiction--but it's not my call. There's a great video made by a doctor, "Pleasure Unwoven" that gives a clear explanation of why addiction is a disease, and that the midbrain is the affected organ. That's the pleasure center of the brain. It's an interesting video.

Sure, gambling is intended for adults, cause adults tend to be wiser in choosing decisions.
For my religion gambling is not allowed. So in some countries, they have banned gambling.

for me gambling addiction is very true that it is disease and also it is very difficult to heal. you as one being adiccted in gambling can manage yourself if you want to quit in gambling, because you are the only one who can manage your life and you are the only one who will decide if what do you want to do in your life after you go through counceiling.

Yeah and mental problem is a disease. So gambling addiction is disease. Well maybe you do not think of mental problems as disease, but I do. Gambling addiction must be cured, if it is extreme and the gambling addict is aware he is addicted and wants to quit, rehab can be a solution, but if you want to slowly in his own way can also work, it's just that you should be more patient and should not easily give up.

It is a form of mental disease. I really hate addiction to gambling because it once destroyed our family. All our properties were gone into thin air because of my dad's addiction to gambling. I was very young then but I understand everything. It pained me a lot to see that we sold our house and lot to cover the debts of my father. We left the place and start to zero again. I hope it will not happen again to us.

Well, most people are addicted to gambling and that is a bad thing, very bad.
Gambling is also like drugs, you will start experiencing health problems like headaches, anxiety, and you will be difficult to control your emotions, gambling can also damage the relationship between friends, family.
My advice, if you want to gamble should not depth mean I make gambling as entertainment when you experience boredom, loneliness but do not make it a priority.

Gambling, not a disease. It's all up to you how you can react to it. It's controlled by you. It's not the drug , it's a habit. And habit can stop.. Because it does not effect on your body. It only effects on your mind. At the same time if you were busy with the other such works, slowly slowly your gambling habits will reduce.

It depends on the person, as far as I know and what I have read addiction in gambling it can considered as a disease and mental health also. Therapy and medications can help restore normalcy to the brain and improve one’s ability to control these urges. So before we get addicted to gambling its better not to try even once.

If the gambler is willing being cured then there's a lots of options aside from his willingness, the medication to relax a minds and to balance the brain was
also available, we knew that gambling addicted persons needs to have rehabilitation in order to free their minds and with the help of their willingness to
have a normal life again and their love ones support then this disease will be wipe away.
