The individual with the disorder feels the desire to gamble and uses more and more money to get the pleasure he craves.

When he is defeated during gambling, he tries to make up for the loss of money by going back to gamble again, trying to win back what he lost.

These lists for me are the clear indication if the gambler is already addicted to gambling.

Such behaviors are not normal if you're just playing to entertain yourself or for satisfaction. Addiction is not easy to break and needs attention and if worse, professional help is necessary.

Thus if you know that you have some of these indications, better refrain yourself from playing and think if you're still in the right track that has control when you gamble and has limitation to avoid becoming addicted.

Gambling addiction is a serious problem because it is not just your life that is affected but also the people around you, your family, and friends. If you know someone suffering from it, talking to them may not fully help them with their addiction, but still it helps. I know how it feels how to be addicted to something, sometimes the more you try to avoid it, the more you crave for it. It takes time to withdraw from something and it is not an overnight process.

Actually, it's not the stigma from other people that prevents me from taking him to a psychiatrist, but maybe he will think that I think he's crazy, so of course he will be offended and think if all this time his own friend had thought he was crazy.

A psychiatrist can't really help your friend in that case. The mental condition of your friend is related to gambling, not within the natural causes.

Refer to an institution that provides assistance to those who are currently or almost falling now on the negative effect of doing gambling. Search for some around your area. That institution is already used to giving guidance and that was their expertise.

It's now up to you how will you convince him.

So do gamblers consciously know that the have a gambling problem and choose to deliberately ignore it or they unknowingly continue with the toxic gambling habits without reading the signs in front of them 🤔

How does it get to be a gambling disorder 🤔

I doubt that they will know if they have a gambling problem because gambling can give them interest and pleasure in playing many gambling games. They can forget about how long they are already playing gambling, which can become toxic and addiction sooner or later. Without realizing how to prevent playing gambling too often, they will still play and they will not listen to others if those people warn and suggest they stop gambling. Maybe it will not be a gambling disorder for the gambler itself, but for people who know the gambler better, it will look like something wrong already happened to that person, so they need to warn him to realize that.

I think most gamblers will try to defend/rationalize their addiction by saying that it purely gives them entertainment. I mean, it is relatively hard to argue with someone who is suffering from addiction, especially if they do not know that they are the ones experiencing it.

This is primarily the reason on why having a good support system can really tell you if you are a gambling addict or not. People around you would start to notice and they would do anything in their power to fix the situation. While I also understand that change must really comes within, but having to know that you have someone or somebody that probably cares for you would most likely help in the process.

If you are really concerned with your friend’s condition and future, I suggest that you take the initiative to have some actions done. It won’t be easy for sure, especially the convincing part. But make sure to always be there for your friend throughout the process. And what you’ve mentioned that people in your place thinks that going to psychiatrist is seen and interpreted as related to having mental disorders is just the stigma, which is the least you should be concerned about.

I'm just waiting for the right conditions and time to talk about it, because I don't think it's an easy thing to talk about something sensitive and related to what he likes so far, actually it's easy for me to talk about it frankly but considering his irritable nature and have a high temper, of course I have to really think of a really good idea so as not to affect the friendship that has existed for a long time.
Actually, it's not the stigma from other people that prevents me from taking him to a psychiatrist, but maybe he will think that I think he's crazy, so of course he will be offended and think if all this time his own friend had thought he was crazy.

He has tried time and again to curb, lessen or halt gambling, but has not been able to.

This case depends on the high or low determination you have, the higher the determination, the easier it will be to quit and vice versa.

Quote from: DU18 on June 23, 2021, 01:06:31 PM

Many times, he obsesses about gambling, such as thinking about his past gambling involvement; preparing for another gambling session; and devising how to get the money he needs for gambling.

I have experienced something like this in the past but fortunately for me, even though I borrowed money to gamble but I was still able to pay it off on time and sometimes faster, this happens for online and offline gambling.

Quote from: DU18 on June 23, 2021, 01:06:31 PM

In the last few hours I personally do self-introspection and analyze these symptoms may be in myself, family or friends. and as a result there are some of my friends who do seem to have these symptoms ;
1. Should I shut up and watch him continue gambling.
2. Or risk the friendship to fall apart by suggesting him to go to a psychiatrist, because because in my place people who go to a psychiatrist are identical to people who have mental disorders.

You only need to give advice or remind him, because then you will not risk friendship. Giving a little input will mean a lot to him compared to just being silent, so do your best because it is also for the common good. Taking him to a psychiatrist is the final option if all subtle means don't work for him but yeah, I don't think it's a solution because at least you can still invite him to do activities or find other things to do until he forgets about gambling.

Some disorders and symptoms of severe gambling addiction includes restlessness and the desire to borrow money when there is no money to play.others include imagining how much profit you would have made when you place huge amount of money on a particular game. Gambling addiction is a strong spirit that one cannot control.It is advisable to see a councellor.

have you read the OP? surely not because all you mentioned are already put in the OP's list . you are only secondary to tell those disorders.
and if you have not experienced to be addicted then you have no right to give those statistics because that's only purely speculative.
I have not one of the past addict but i know some people that close to me becomes one at their life.

Some gambling addictions is even worse that these stated symptoms that affects the general being of the gamblers both financially, psychologically and spiritually in a way that all what the op will be thinking is more or less gambling.
I was once a victim that almost got eaten by gambling addiction. All I was thinking then is to gamble with bigger funds so that i can recover all my lost money which is always difficult to recover. I was able to overcome the addiction by moving of my environment, getting a new friends which significantly reduced my interest in gambling.

When one get addicted to gambling, is always difficult to get out of it. Yes, majority of them go into borrowing money from people, with the mindset that they will win and probably pay back the money they borrowed, but they end up losing. They hardly control themselves, because they are addicted to that behavior of gambling. While many also take Gambling as a means of Livelihood, which is also bad.

Maybe they need to change their mindset from borrowing money from other people can help them to win back their losses. They will not have those changes because they need to consider the lucky factor inside the gambling itself. If they realize that luck will not come to them in the previous game, they should stop playing gambling instead borrow money from the others. But we know that addicted people to gambling will hard to tell to stop gambling as they want to continue playing gambling.

Base on my experience when I see people playing into casual gambling or even in casino gambling they are the man of focus you cannot disturb them or talk to them until the game is running the only thing you can talk with them when the game before it starts and when the games end but mostly still you can't talk with them because they are in-game. Some of the behaviour I saw is they easily irritated with their environment depends on the situation of course if they are winning still there's on a mood to having fan but if they are not better to step back in a meantime. Once a gambler already win a game they want to urge win more and if they lose they want to chase back their losses these are just the situations I merely saw.

True! lots of gambling addicted person keeps barrowing money in hope that they'll able to win back those losses that they have.

others include imagining how much profit you would have made when you place huge amount of money on a particular game.

Again it's true! gamblers who have too much engagements counts the possible earnings before starting the game.

It's difficult to resist especially when you already have the addiction inside you, seeking for help after realizing the problem

may help you a lot to fixed this from your mindset.

I dont know why there are some gamblers who have to reach at this point, they are very irresponsible to themselves. Especially when it comes to borrowing money because they are desperate to have a profit in gambling and the last is becomes worst is that when gamblers because a theft because of an addiction that can't even be controlled by the gambler.

Are they haven't oriented themselves and possibly aware of the outcome or these people who had gambling symptoms of severe gambling addiction are very desperate to win.

Greed and Chasing up Losses!

These are the primary things on why people been really pushed through play gambling no matter what.Gambling business wouldnt really be that much profitable if people wont really be having this kind of behavior and this is why gambling is really a profitable business because of these stuffs.
Once addiction do really have control over you then it is something which is really hard to resist and really hard to solve out on your own.
You would really be experiencing hardships on taking control back everything in terms of self awareness.

Those are some of the most accurate points I have ever read about a gambler's mentality. I have been for some reason among gamblers all the time, be it online or offline and somehow despite most of them being close to me and have a gambling problem, I have managed to remain clean and not gamble more than a few times a week.

Quote from: DU18 on June 23, 2021, 01:06:31 PM

If you actually care for the person, you should choose this option because it might destroy your relation for the time being but once he realizes how much of a help you did without caring for yourself, the relation will have even more depth than before.

Basically I have seen some signs on him, so I decided if he is indeed suffering from gambling addiction now, at first I also did not realize it was him but after I read the article and tried to match the symptoms mentioned in the article with his behavior so far, and that makes me very sure if he is currently headed for a slump regardless of whether he admits it or not,

Ok, since you ignore my question on the previous page, I can't give you an advice for a supposed approach.

In my case, I do have lots of friend who are addicted in gambling but remained responsible in the real world. I'm not just talking about few pennies here as these friends of mine, I consider them as a hardcore gambler at any gambling type.

Now on your part, you are the only one who knows the right thing to do for your friend since you know that person more compare to us. Try to think of a way how to "save" your friend that is now slowly turning into sh*t.

This is basically what happens with almost every gambler, not just the ones who are addicted but casual ones too, they will lose some amount and then want to win it back so badly that they decide to deposit funds that were not meant to be gambled in the first place.

Stealing or cheating for money to gamble

Some even take loans to gamble and would be even ready to pay a 10-15% return within a few days which shows the desperation they have towards gambling. That is the reason why most of the gamblers you see spend the coins they earn via bounties or campaigns towards the gambling site itself.

Really some of the points I was able to relate with myself but I am not addicted to gambling, just a regular gambler, and such articles and threads keep me in check.
