Every addiction is a disease,
I agree that each of it is a disease.
Being addicted is hard to avoid when people did not know how to manage his responsibilities in their finances.It should be a diseases to those people who cant control and even repeating playing even though they have full of debts.
It's inevitable to become addicted if most of your time is dedicated in casino's and you are enjoying with your time there.

It is defined as a disease by most medical associations. It involves environmental factors that affects behavior too. Addiction to a thing involves changes in how our brain functions and could probably have consequences once it is not controlled. It may cause a person to be disabled it continuing a daily routine normally if you will be pertaining to gambling addiction. A mind set to gambling might decline a person's self-care ability for himself.
Sometimes it turns abnormality , yeah I've seen a lot of people desperate and frustrated because of their gambling habit. They feel there's nothing to do anymore in this life after they suffering a huge lost that they can't afford to lose . In the end everyone who have ever gamble should prepare for something like this in gambling.

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?

Everyone has his/her own choices that they are making. Noone is competent enough to steal this choice from the other persons. Alcohol drinking is not forbidden if it is consumed without endangering the other people. Gambling is same as the alcohol addiction but just on its own terms.

We cannot restrict the gambling fro the people because we all have our own will which has a big impact on our choices. There are many clinics for the addicts. Even sex addict have their own clinic but the choice for treatment of this addictions is up to the man that is influenced by it.

Gambling is not a disease; it is not contagious nor sickening. It is influential for the people with the low willpower. If the man can be easily influenced then no one can help him if he doesn't accept the help freely and sees his own mistakes.

Yes it is, I know a few people who suffer for it, and it hurts not only the one who gamble but their entire family.
Every addiction is a disease, as long as it is something that is uneasy to sure, then it is even a huge one that can spread pretty fast and overwhelm you before you even know it. There is a thin line between gambling as a normal human being and entering the addictive world because that is where the advantage you have to control the impulse has been taken away from you and once you are in that lane, it is a big one to deal with.

Addiction on gambling is a kind of disease that only our self can healed of our addiction. Some people hard to quit gambling if you some want to take away from it try to convinced your self that gambling is not a good to you. And try to control your self and tell that you can do quit gambling.

Of course, gambling is a disease. I think that the disease is nothing more than the disease in the world, those who have made themselves addicted to this disease, destruction for them is inevitable if they do not try to cure this disease, but if the human be pleased It is very easy to remedy the diseaseThere is a word that people are slaves of habit or do not practice habits of human beings,

so my opinion is that people should be cured of this disease, otherwise they will be destroyed, their country will be destroyed, their family will be destroyed, each of us should keep everyone safe from this disease and this disease Get discouraged from going,

It can be considered as mental illness or something that is really a disease because you are doing it that much. It's hard to avoid if you don't have the will to avoid and stop it. But if you wish to quit and not to have this type of addiction or disease, you better get yourself something better in gambling so that you will not be ending up addicted in gambling.

It is always a disease. It is independent of the nature and situation of a person. It doesn’t even matter whether someone have limit himself in gambling, someone is coming to casinos only to get entertainment and fun, someone is join this harmful game for earing some money. Such cases and many others, gambling never leave anyone until it makes him a full-fledged bankrupt.

I think it's a serious disease when you can't come back from gambling.In one side,you are losing your money but still you haven't feel that you should stay out of gambling.That's called real disease of gambling.But if you can come.back from gambling, I don't think it's disease anymore.

All the addictions have similarities, all addicted people have common behavior, but the things on what people get addicted are different and I believe there should be different ways to deal with each of these things. I don't think gambling should be banned from countries because some people are addicted, but I think drugs should be.

Gambling is benefical for a society in some aspects. It generates wealthy, jobs, third party services, it's the industry that makes real income distribution. The main players are the rich guys and that is the way they spend their money heavily, distributing it to others via gambling... So in countries where gambling is banned because it's a disease and people are weak, the society is losing a big chance of boosting their local economy.

Being alcoholic is an addiction, there are people who cannot think, talk, react or keep himself active without consuming alcohol. Same kinda people are there with gambling as well, these people can't think of a day without getting into any of the gambling events. Even after regular loss, they can't stay away at least for a short term. This makes gambling to be a disease with some personalities.

I think the government should forbid gambling. It depends on the people if they will continue to gamble.  Those who will violate it should have a punishment and it depends on the number of times that he violated. And they should be treated because addiction is a disease. It will be difficult for them to quit so the government should help them cured.

Yes it is, I know a few people who suffer for it, and it hurts not only the one who gamble but their entire family.
I agree with you, Gambling addiction is too dangerous and we can call it a disease, A lot of people around the world suffer from it, They lose a lot of precious things because of it, They have a lot of troubles with their families and have a lot of financial problems. I know a few of them has reached the situation to sale their own property like car and home to play gambling.

Health officials say that gambling addiction is without a doubt a brain disease, so yes it is a disease. There are drugs called dopamine agonists which, among other side effects, cause compulsive gambling. I've never used dopamine agonists myself, but a friend of mine was suffering Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and he was prescribed with those drugs and indeed he developed a gambling addiction. I don't know if it's a coincendense because he was gambling a lot before too, but he says that things have become worse after he started taking the drugs. Generally speaking, if you have to take dopamine agonists you better stay away from gambling at all, while you are taking the drugs.

So, while at an early stage we must avoid that problem, it's simple just having a mindset or self-control in gambling to avoid that kind of disease of gambling. Yes, you are right sir a disease of the mind that needs a serious attention if having a gambler addict maybe his not curable in a just easy way, maybe doctors can do that.
Cause of addiction depends on you how to manage yourself, don't let gambling controlled you must control gambling.

Not a disease but rather a disorder or mental disorder like what the WHO did with gaming addiction lately (it is now considered that video game addiction is a mental disorder). I think gambling is much more serious than those things, a gambling addict can lose money or even everything he had.

Well for me diseases here mean the same as mental disorder, because when we talk about gambling addicts, we will talk about their mentally ill. Mental illness is what is meant as a disease. Mental treatment is not easy, there is no pill-like medicine that can treat it, mental illness should be treated with mental again and slowly.

Yep,there are different levels in addiction.If someone finds that he is getting addicted in the early stages then he can get out from that easily and can continue to play the gambling as well but the serious addict people need to completely stay away from the any types of gambling to get out from it or else it will make them more worse.

I agree but not only to get out of it. Once they have recovered, they need to stay away from gambling for life, the same way a recovered alcoholic mustn’t try a sip for the rest of his life, because it would lead to the same old self-destruction pattern.
Yes,if the serious addict after recovered from that addiction then he need to stay away from that forever or else he will again get addicted to it.But all is about our self control if the people who has the control over his mind then he can gamble and keep time limit to avoid addiction again.
I think if any person recovered from the gambling addiction he knows how to control his feelings because without controlling his feeling he will never come back from gambling addiction. there are some people playing gambling after they recovered from addiction but they learned how to play gambling and when to stop and how to avoid addicting to this gambling.

It is somewhat like a disease that need to be cure otherwise it will destroy your self your life. Addiction is no good, any time of addiction is not good at all. Self discipline and family support can help
Yes, gambling is a disease because those who have addicted to gambling suffer a lot, they will start losing interest in other things and also they feel gambling most important than family and their friends. Gamblers feel insecure when they start to lose in gambling that can be also considered as a disease.

If we do gambling for a good reason like it is also a kind of entertainment but do not be so addicted to this gambling is a good way to enjoy you in a platform which you can not enjoy at your home and the crypto coins are very good for this many people do online casino and many people do gambling but it will good if we just practice this with fun and the gambling will become the disease when you are purely addicted to this so addiction is not good while the doing of gambling just for fun is good .
