It could be a disease because you will not be able to make a right decision, when you have a gambling addition, consider that as a serious problem that needs immediate attention.

Seek the help from your family or the professional.

Addiction is not a disease...It has something to do with your brain, and you won't take medicine to cure it, only therapy and advise from a professional... An addicted gambler could still think, only that when his addiction attack, he gave in to it... It is curable and you your self could cure it...

if its something wrong with our brain then that person is need to go to therapist and needs to be ask for help so that person will not just thinking about playing gambling. i think the therapist will do it and will help that guy as gambling addiction is not like a disease and its need to reprogram our brain.

Yes, anything affects our 'normal' life must be a disease. Gambling addictions has the characteristics of deviating our initial gambling plans. Gambling addition is somewhat is a cancer to healthy gambling life. It starts slowly and kills all the plans and profits.

Interestingly, this disease will be cured by our family members itself that too without any medicines, just love and affections are more than enough.

disease from different side because it won't be cured only for usual medicine because addicted from gambling only have problem with their mentally not from their physical and to cure mentally is very difficult rather than physical disease because usually they always be felt health for their bodies and special handling required for this case

Gambling is like a disorder but the way to describe is an addiction to some people because they are not aware that it could be a disorder. This is lack of control that is why some are addicted, however a disorder because it is all in the mind and everyone could able to control it if they want to stop it. There are ways and you even need a psychiatrists on this one. Just you need to control your mind when you are playing and focus right away.

If the gambler is gambling again and again and do not care for his/her future and for their wealth and do not plan for the timing for gambling and playing all the time of the day and do not care for their family also then it is addiction and and it is expected that this person is sick of addiction.

In my own opinion, gambling addiction is something like mental health disorder or a brain disease where people always think about it and want to do it anytime anywhere and forget other important things. We should not be addicted whatever the reason is, because it will be so hard to stay away once we get addicted to it.

When people got addicted to gamble he/she will behave like non a normal person. As I know from my real life experience, a person that got this problem will be very lazy. They wont do any other works except gambling itself. Thats why, people that got addicted to gamble mostly are jobless! So, in my own opinion, addicted to gamble is a disease and they need to be cured by theyself or by people around them!

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?

In my opinion its like a drug addiction but It easy to cure that addiction unlike drug addiction.According to my source if you feel fun and continuous playing and playing its a consider as a first symptoms but it can control depend on that person.

it may be easy if you have not get too deep into it. But there is already a lot of people that didnt control themselves previously and get way too addicted to it. So now even if they want to quit from gambling, it is very hard for them.

The Gambling addiction is not a disease it is just a habit. We will addict many bad habits in that gambling also one. So for this, we can not call The Gambling is a disease. But it will depend on people how they treat gambling. The main thing is if we control our emotions means the gambling will not make any changes in our life.

Not a disease but huge illness and gamblers often needs doctors help

No, they don't. I'm a gambler myself and I haven't lost my mind and I haven't gone crazy either. If you're smart enough to simply control yourself and your money, you don't need anybody's help.

Its a disease bro! disposition regarded as adversely affecting a person or group of people. Gambling has a group of people that has the disease they don't need help to the doctor but to the psychologist to ease up your addiction or you can control yourself find another hobby to begin with play sports so that you can ease that disease very day people are playing gambling including me but still i manage to ease up my gambling habits i'm very greedy but now i ease up the disease Cheesy

it depends bro many of us here also do gambling but we dont need such things like curing it since we know our limitation it can only take as a disease if you already need some med to be cured. just for my opinion though.

gambling addiction is not like a disease, i think its like habit that will hard to be cure because people with gambling addiction is only thinking about how to gambling in everyday and not thinking any else. its a dangerous situation because they can use many thing just to make a bet, and in other thread i read that husband has sold his wife just to play gambling.

no i do not think so. gambling is not addiction is not like drug addiction, there is a big difference between the two. to me if you are addicted to gambling but you do gambling in a limit or just manage it from your pocket money there it is not harmful but if you are doing gambling using most of your pocket money then it is not right and my be more worst than drug addiction.

I think you are wrong. If a person is addicted to gambling he can't limit himself on playing or on putting his money. The worst scenario is sometimes that person tends to borrow money or take out loans just to gamble. That's addiction, you can't manage/limit yourself on playing. For me, gambling addiction and drug addiction are somewhat the same, just in different reason and situation. Both need a help of a counselor/therapist or whatsoever to retrain people's brains to reduce/stop the urge to gamble or to use drugs.

Well, it is not a disease, if you can control it well, but I guess that would be the case if you're really addicted gambling and could not control it. it could make life even threatened. although many say it is not a disease but it is a hobby, but the effect of a given when you're really hooked just like people who have diseases. well, you just need to control yourself to avoid it

I think that its addiction will disease can be too but its addiction to me people who are greedy enough to win are the addicts one's all they are chasing is money nothing else they don't really mind what will happened in the end of the game and its also a disease because the game itself has contained many people in the past few years by still one cure to finish that disease find another hobby to forget gambling. They make their own decision unless they are not married its okay but if they do... you know what >.<

What I may infer from the replies is that mostly people think gambling is a disease, but it is easier to cure it than drug addiction. I understand that drugs influence human organism physically, so they really cause some changes in it. Gambling doesn't influence people in such a way. But it still influences minds, doesn't it? A person feels like he/she can win and keeps losing. Maybe, drugs change the mind even less than gambling, because they rather effect the body. Then what is more harmful: mental addiction or physical one?

But many people are saying that its more worst to be addicted in gambling site.. than drugs.
But honestly for me drugs is most worst for me that can affect to your life.. Gambling is not really a decease its just a term that its hard to cure..
We are not all the same but there is other people that its hard to control them to prevent their addiction in gambling..

Addiction to the drugs can causing a death but it is not if you addicted to gamble.
So basically a gambling addicts have less illness than drugs addicts.
But i consider both an addiction to gambling and drugs as a serious disease , why? You will never stop gamble once you start it.

i think it is totally depending on your way of gambling if you are playing gambling without any plan and have no limit then gambling is really addiction a disease but if you are playing gambling in a limit and with strategy then you will be safe and there will be very little chance of risk for loosing your money.
