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 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?

Appropriate it seems like a disease but i will clear it that Gambling is not a disease our Addiction of gambling is like a disease. I was know about it that addiction is a disease and in most of the gambling threads i used this word of Disease for addiction in gambling.
It is because addiction has no solution it is like a cancer disease and it is last stage of it and we can't return from it in our life. But basically it is our fault that we come in this level and become addicted.

Addiction is a psychological disorder so it can be called as disease.

If someone really addcited to gambling then he can't get out from that by himself he need to take medications to recover from that so it is a disease.So people need to be aware of while gambling and keep time limit to avoid addiction.If the bad run continues then leave the gambling on that day and comeback again.

Yes, gambling addiction can be considered a disease because the victim will need special care if he wants to cure it. But there are levels in addiction. For those who are at the lowest level, the possibility to cure an addiction will feel easier than those who are at an acute one.

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.

I think it depends on a certain person who is playing gambling , If you can't control yourself or you are obsessed on gambling we can considered that as addiction that researchers labeled it as a disease. It is like the new news now that researchers are labeling gaming as a disease. We know both are addictive and in my own perception I know that gambling addiction is not a disease.

Anything that is being related to addiction is nearly becomes a psychological disease.
It is always the choice of mind of a person doing such thing. In the world of gambling, addiction starts from greed.
It is ourselves that can control our own selves.

like a drug, when someone starts to get addicted to gambling, it's going to be very difficult to get rid of it.
requires psychologists to quickly get rid of the same as drug addicts, gambling addicts also need rehabilitation to recover their addictive attitude

I arguably consider it a psychological disease. However, every disease has a cure (even if the scientists have not yet to discover some cures to some diseases). Gambling addiction can be cured with the help of the inner-self. If you do not have a strong willpower or determination, you will be stuck in the realm of addiction.

The government should not ban gambling because people will still gamble secretly, thus it is not a good decision to begin with. The problem does not lie within the government but with people. The latter are greedy, they want extra money even if they already are rich. So, I leave it for people to decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.

"Money" and being greedy is one to be blamed of on getting this addiction to gambling and government cant really be sued or blame of that they should ban gambling.Some estate might block some might legalized it because of the benefits that it gives (tax). Gamblers should really be responsible and do know the risk that might happen to them on playing too much.This is just like a disease and i agree that this is considered as a psychological disease which can be cured up with a strong self control and motivation.

Before I always think Gambling as just an addiction but with the latest classification of the World Health Organization (WHO) that Gaming Addiction is now a Disease, Gambling might not be far behind it. As we need to see everything now can be classified as a disease and we might not be infected with some sort of virus but out brain is affected mentally. And mental disorders just like gaming and gambling can be cured with emotional and psychological help.

Do you know why there are so many diseases on their list? Simply because they earn a lot of money from that, I don't trust in their list at all.
Look at the op, he is not really a gambler but he heard something. Who is gambler here? Do you think you are a gambler just because you lose money on gambling? People just have a bat habit to blame anyone and anything except them self's. Blame gambling for bad life, blame others for bad mood, and then give a name for that disease and world healthcare organization will sell you cute for that. Its all in your head, gambling is just a tool you decide how to use it, if it hurts you its your fault! Don't play with fire and cry because you get burned, if you can't handle that move away and that is it, just don't cry like a pussy and blame something or someone else for your stupidity. I'm sick from all this topics and ignorant comments about gambling.

I would say yes, it is. Anything that you have an obsession or compulsion with has something to do with a personality disorder and may be considered a disease especially if it does harm to what could have been normal functions. This disorder makes an individual dysfunctional, and is therefore long term. Hence, there is definitely a need for rehabilitation.

In relation to this, I would say addiction, per se, should not be confined to specific kinds but should encompass all others that are detrimental to ones health and normal physiologic functions. Otherwise stated, drug addiction, gambling addiction, sex addiction, among others, are basically the same in terms of abuse. Just that they vary as to the resulting effects in a holistic point of view.

Not all people addicted to gambling and I don't consider it as disease why even addicted gamblers can quit any time so I don't agree with that point which you stated. It is all about mindset only so it can be controlled any time.

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.
