Addiction is state of your mind and when it is uncontrollable by yourself then it is also disease which may not completely cured by eating medicines,it needs to be done through your mental change strength.
You are absolutely correct on this mate,addiction is from our mind and not from anything elseThose who becomes addict are weak persons that pretending to be tough but when the problem occurs they hide from something that may satisfy them and in this gambling will comes out to take over,
You’re also correct that theres no medicine that can cure but ourselves only

Gambling can cause the addiction but only to those who are weak minded and have no control over themselves. If you are confident, strong minded person and have control over your emotions than you could be save from gambling addiction.
Gambling addiction cannot lead you to a disease because playing gambling does not have a side effects that will result illness.
It's true that gambling don't will result you in any disease. But if gambling don't result you in any disease what are the side effects of gambling?

Governments tend to ban addictions that are harmful to the society and sometimes health of the addicts.
There are lots of addictions governments should be banning if that is the case. Here are things people get addicted to that should be banned as well:
Games
Unhealthy foods
Television
Unrewarding Social Media
Pornography
etc.

It is not a problem for people because they can use a VPN to access the site if the government banned those things. We can say that gambling addiction is a disease because it's hard to cure and they don't have a strong mind to block the gambling itself, so they keep playing. But for me, I think gambling addiction is a mental disease which could happen to any people.
True @michellee
But everyone is addicted to something , not just the gamblers. We are addicted to our smartphones, laptops etc ... we spend a lot of time on them without getting the value that is proportionate to the time spent on them.

Its not a disease, thats just a way of phrasing the thinking about repetitive behaviour. Its not infectious, the main thing to acknowledge is that as humans we all take risks every day and this is a natural part of life and so part of our feelings and thinking.
Gambling then as a game keys into those judgements made in life to handle risk, just the simple crossing the road or if you like compare it to the hunting, competitiveness and fight or flight reflexes every human has. So there is an elemental aspect to gambling sure but also we as humans are already dealing with risk and some gamble to our life choices anyway, its a life skill to keep judging better. Every good game has something real to it imo

It's not gambling that's the problem but the excessive craving or even the need for it that many compares to a disease.
I am not addicted to gambling. I cannot play gambling for a few weeks. I always get tired of everything when I don’t win. I am more dependent on Instagram, without which I can not live a day.

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.
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 relies on ourselves if we want to cure our addictions.

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?

Gambling is not a disease it's both a disorder and an addiction, only a physician can help these compulsive gamblers, it depends on the kind of the government, but the majority of the government had huge revenues coming from gambling so no they are not going to stop it, it provides jobs and opportunities for a country
I think it is not a disease. It's just an expression of how gambling makes you a happy person. That's it. Gambling addiction is not really a disease I think it's more of a mentality. Mentality of a person that wants to get his lost back. An expression of happiness, because some people are into gambling because of happiness. And, gambling could be an income for some people. So it's not a disease.
I really agree with you! Gambling is a mode of investment for some people and I know many people that are living large on gambling. In reality if you have decided to gamble it always starts with profits in mind but on a long run when loses step in we would start to witness greed and from there habit step in but to me such habit is not a disease! Agree on you guys , gambling is not a disease becauss a disease is something that we experience in our inner health while gambling cannot harm you physically ( only mental/ly ) but too much addiction on gambling can cause a problem in regards to your health , i think these is the main reason why other guys think that gambling is a disease .
It's not gambling that's the problem but the excessive craving or even the need for it that many compares to a disease. Addiction in any form, gambling included, sometimes need professional help. It can be compared to an illness yes, the way we see depression or ptsd, since for some people it will have an effect that would compromise their mental, physical and emotional health.
It is quite funny because the answer is already in the question:
Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction
Despite the involvement of a number of psychosocial factors, a biological process – one which is induced by repeated exposure to an addictive stimulus – is the core pathology that drives the development and maintenance of an addiction.

It is not just 'should', it already admitted as a disease in medical circus. But of course, such tough addictions like alcohol and drugs in the list of disease for a long time already, and gambling addiction is kinda a newbie there. The list of addictions seems got filled regularly, recently I have heard that the list was filled with sugar and caffeine.
