That would eventually become a disease if it is already serious.
Gambling addiction will take over your life, your once happy life will turn into miserable life, you experience it because you are building it when you are gambling.

We should make this clear.

A disease and a disorder are different from each other. Other people also think that they are the same but they are not. Gambling is not a disease but it is a disorder. It is a brain disorder, there are a lot of terms for this but I think the most popular here is Compulsive Gambling. It is the uncontrollable urge of a person to gamble.

It is not a disease.

It is lack of discipline, character and weakness.

People prefer to believe it is a disease because this makes them feel less responsible for this. Less guilty... Much easier to say that your have a disease than to admit you are just a weak person...

This is true whatever "doctors" say...

Gambling is really hard to deal of, there were facts that may conclude you to think abnormally. Somehow, many people devoted and risk their lives just for fun untill they lose control and self-decipline that may lead to addiction. The affection of loseness will make them feel anxiety and stressful that may become a disease which is hard to find a therapy. And the compatible remedy we can laid of, is to restrain from gambling and have self- decipline to become sufficient on deliberations.

Actually gambling is risky that's why it not suit to everyone, and especially for those persons who are emotional and sensitive, they can't handle it like a smart gambler and gambling become for them like a disease.
But if we maintain our way to deal with gambling then definitely gambling is not a disease for us.

I don’t think so gambling is not for everyone those who are earning with gambling will get profit at the end, it is good if it is disease there are so many benefits of this disease, it gives ways to making money, it helps us to enjoy our time because I gamble only when I get free from my work so I really enjoy it and it gives me ways of earning I am want this disease to mix in me.

and it is not possible that the disease is as pleasant as that right? there is no gambling disease, if you become addicted, of course because you can't control yourself, but of course you can get out if you want and change your activities properly. and don't need medicine for that..

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?

As far as i have heard yes, Gambling is a game with more addiction and at times the situation has gone worst where the player has spent everything and stood out without even a single penny. It slowly becomes a sick within. Unless and until you realize as an individual to come out of it.

Perhaps it will happen that thing on you if you don't know how to control your self, you can avoid gambling addiction if you, your self how to manage with it and preparing that you can afford to lose. While at an early stage you can stop hunting you're losing a single penny and serve as a better experience you have done. Therefore, yes gambling addiction can create disease.

The government should not ban something, as long as there is no risk from that activity to anyone else. I am saying this because these bans can never be implemented. It will just push that particular activity underground. On the other hand, if the government legalizes and regulates that activity, then everything will be transparent and there won't be much scope for the criminal gangs.

If you think gambling addiction is a disease, then you need to come to psychiatric and let them help you to cure your addiction. Whenever you are difficult to handle your emotion, then that will be a time for you to consult to the expert. I am sure that he will do the best to help you especially to cure your addiction.

They can help you treat addiction if you will cooperate with what they will suggest you to do.

There's no medicine for it but gradual healing through projecting with another activity to work on to divert your time instead of gambling.

Gambling is a good thing if you are making money from it. But if you are losing and you keep playing it means you are addicted to gamble ~snip~

Whether you win or lose if you cannot control yourself, it means you are addicted and play blindly. The key point is how you can control yourself. Don't force yourself even you win, and stop to play when you are losing. That is the right concept of non-addicted players. Anyway, for me, gambling is not a proper place to make money, it is only a game and for fun. Tongue

When you are in addiction stage that is very hard to cure, ^ you are right many people makes them lives to ruin and miserable just because of gambling addiction. Why gamblers reached on this stage? Lack of self-control and being desperate in chasing money and then they did not notice they are on the addiction stage. You can avoid this while at the earlier time, having limitation is one of the important things and always bear in mind that gambling is supposed to be for fun.

Yes, it is more likely to be called as a disease, why? Well I'll be completely broad and short with this one because its actually pretty simple, one of the many reasons on why gamblers get addicted is by the influence of another gambler, how? When a gambler gets back to back wins not only himself/herself gains confidence but the gamblers that are around him/her as well, its like a mass effect wherein its likely to be considered as a disease, but that doesn't mean it can't be stopped, it actually can be stopped, there are so many ways and trust me I became addicted to it as well back then, but with the help of family, friends and everything I was able to redeem my old, normal self back.

I really take issue with people calling things like gambling a disease. You have a problem, but it's not It's not a disease. I don't think anything is a disease if you can get rid of it just by sheer willpower alone. You can't get rid of AIDS or cancer just by sheer determination. Those are genuine illnesses that you can't help and have no control over whether you have them or not. You can help not gambling. All it takes is for you to not do it. I accept that getting over addictions is easier said than done, but you can do it by changing your behavior and mindset. Nobody is forcing you to walk to a gambling shop or visit a gambling website. You just need to find the willpower not to do so and occupy you mind with something else, and that's why I don't think we should be calling it a disease because it seems like am excuse to me. It's a problem you have, but not a disease. Same goes for things like sex addiction.

This is all we want, but not all of us are successful with that.

Quote from: Idrisu on April 08, 2019, 12:51:39 AM

But if you are losing and you keep playing it means you are addicted to gamble and the best thing to do is to go for counseling on how to break the addict and put yourself in other again. It is a disease because it has become a bad habit.

Losing and still keep playing as long as you are still in control or you gamble what you can afford to lose is alright.

Gambling is entertaining and it's hard to win in gambling, so it seems like a normal scenario to loss most of the time, but like I said, being in control will make you safe from addiction .

Well, if it is a disease or not, but it is definitely a psychological problem that is in urgent need of medical attention. If it is not addressed timely then it can destroy a gambler's life.

I think addiction is not a type of disease that must be treated medically. You don't need pills or certain drugs. All you have to do is change your activities by managing the right time. Change your gambling with other fun activity and finally change your mindset about gambling

Not as easy as it sounds. Gambling addicts could slip into depression if they try to stop gambling at once.
Stopping gradually over a period of time could help him adjust easily. They could then gradually replace the gambling other non addictive fun stuff like you mentioned

Exactly. We can all say it's all in the person's mind or the person can stop if he really wants to be we haven't been in the situation of an addicted gambler. Tell a smoker, who's been smoking all his life to quit smoking and you'll probably get a laugh or no answer at all. Addiction is a serious case regardless of what the person is addicted to. And as with any illness, it shouldn't be taken lightly by the person and the people around them.
