What are you saying exactly? How can a person with a mental health problem engaged in gambling when gambling in it self requires players to be mentally sound so as to be able to make well research decisions?

Like I said before, this whole idea of a doctor recommending gambling to a patient is just crazy, I seriously wonder who began or suggested this whole thing of doctors recommending gambling to patients, this is something Ive never heard of or even ever thought about,  I honestly will consider a doctor who does it did this to be a quack or fake doctor.

Every ailment or sickness, be it mental related, or stress or anything else, do have a drug for its treatment, gambling is not a drug, but even more like a sickness of its own.

The truth is that it is something very strange and that a medical professional can advise something like that, although we all know that the casino and games of chance entertain us, we know very well that things like this sound very strange, advise going to a casino where you can possibly A belief in addiction is something that I as a doctor (if I were one) would not do, it is something that is not right, it is something that we should not see because it is fine, with the normal parameters of things, maybe I would say it joking? There are doctors who use their sense of humor for certain things, I don't know it could be, but as far as I'm concerned things can be very different if a person wants to be happy, maybe if they can be sent to a hospital whenever and wherever possible Play next to a person who controls your money, because emotions are something that you feel and that you cannot control sometimes, or it is very difficult to do, but money can be Controlled and in fact it should be controlled.

An  casino will have the advantage of the case, which will make it win no Matter what and that is something we must see, if we do not see it that way I think we are seeing what the casinos do, in that sense things must be seen as They are , and not to give ourselves false hopes of what one is or should be, therefore when we are in a situation like this we must analyze all the causes why we could lose money, and if the doctor said something like that, the truth surprises me. It could be that the doctor really likes cinema and since he Knows that it's bad fun, he sends it to her, even though things are very difficult, it shouldn't be done like that because they are Basically throwing him into a world that doesn't know anything. Well, it could go very wrong, and that is a worse risk, in case the patient does it and becomes an addict? How is that person? It looks bad, as well as irresponsible, the best thing is to play but with another person who manages the money.

There is absolutely no direct or indirect connection between a doctor and prescribing gambling to his patient. Except the person has a mental health problem but on the other hand, how coordinated will such a person be enough to consider gambling an engagement except its a clear case of wanting throw away money and even if it was a fun game, you still need your faculty of thought to engage

I wouldn't say that it is a disease, it's more of a habit that someone can't control himself and that doesn't make it a disease. But it's a big problem when a gambler does have it and cannot process everything.

No one will be forced to gamble unless he's the one forcing himself in doing so. Many gamblers are pushing too bad that they forget themselves and gambles no matter what their feelings are.

Ironic that many replies with "skills and knowledge" probably never gamble themself and promote shady casino at the same time (I read them they just post BS)
But it's a some good replies but very few, but at the same time a lot of bad that should me removed (only to full fill SIGN-REQ 100%).
Be be careful who you listen to when it's come to gambling some is in it because them good and know what they talking about and some just becasue they want to post some worlds on they keykoard to earn $1, but in the end you should always and always do your own research before stepping into this world.

I don't understand how desperate people in this forum are to earn this fucking $50 or $100 a week so they say things they more likely copy from Google then came up with themself.
Its nothing else then sad. This forum would for sure be 100x better without that shit and it's can be seen after one hour in this place, 90% less traffic yes but 10% good traffic, rather then then all the BS and drama that it's now.
And scammers would go somewhere else where for sure.

For sure if any doctor should prescribe gambling to a patient it means that doctor lack professional health skills because at a time, a patiet engaging in gambling will later lead to stress which could result into something worst in the future,  this is why we need to take note of what is happening and align with happening at individual level and not a group, because gambling can be fun only to those who can control themselves from falling into addictions.
So since rhe doctor does not know rhe emotional balance of the patient,  but going straight to prescribe gambling to rhe patient may lead to a more disastrous outcome in the future for the patient,  so i dont think any professional health practitioner will want to take that route.
stupidity that Doctor will advise gambling for patient ? lol doctor will advise to enjoy and
have happiness but not in gambling that we know can bring stress more when losses.

Basically overall minimizing the budget for gambling is always recommended and actually no matter how rich you are this approach should still be applied and maintained, not least because gambling is always inseparable from the possibility of risk which means that no matter how rich you are you will still end up in poverty if you have the wrong approach to gambling, And if you are one of the financially middle class people then it is a good thing to put a small amount on gambling like you do, because this means that you are aware of your financial situation and you are one of the responsible gamblers who prioritize financial balance in addition to knowing the bad effects of gambling.

The pursuit of victory in gambling as is often done by gambling addicts there is like you are chasing luck which basically the name of luck can never be known when it comes, luck is like something that comes not picked up and goes home not delivered, meaning? Some gamblers must have experienced that when they played carelessly without seriousness but the results won and vice versa when they played seriously by putting high hopes on victory but the results lost, and this means that gambling is an activity of "luck and possibility" which cannot be forced.

The amount of winnings in gambling is unknowable, sometimes large and sometimes small, but all of that will look "decent" if you can be grateful, but most gamblers are always dissatisfied with what they get until finally greed they apply, this confirms that maintaining is more difficult than achieving.

Even if the gambler in my opinion there will be no doctor who advises someone to do gambling as a means of stress relief, the person will become more stressed when treating excessive gambling and certainly people who are easily stressed their emotions will be more quickly affected, it is likely that he will become a bad addict and cannot be responsible for his gambling.

Gambling will be beneficial for those who can control themselves and are able to take responsibility for their gambling, if someone is easily stressed or has such a disease, it can be said that he cannot control himself, how can he gamble and relieve stress if he cannot control himself even if he is forced to gamble, I think it will have more adverse effects on the patient such as impulsive and compulsive addicts.

That doctor might be a gambler himself and finds gambling activity as stress relieving activity for himself that's why he might be suggesting the patients to gamble in order to reduce stress.

In real world prolong gambling can in fact increase someone's stress levels and that's why most people recommend to gamble within limits.

Some people who get addicted to gambling often spend countless hours to place bets and if the bets turn out to be losing ones then such people get addicted and even face more stress from the activity.

I would always say that gambling can be enjoyed as a fun activity but if someone basically gambles to earn money then that person really needs some good advice otherwise he can get addicted to it.

I also have little budget when I want to play at the casino, due to my economic situation I can't afford to play every day, now I only play on weekends and only 1 day, and I can't bet much because I always I keep my expenses to the limit, so since I like the casino I always try to put in a little money to see if I'm lucky, I do it to see if I can win something, with a little I can do a lot, but it's very difficult because there are almost no games where with little money they give you a lot, unless it is a raffle or a lottery which are options where you only buy one ticket and have the opportunity to win, although the possibilities are very minimal.

It's time to play little, because it's not that when we win we'll make a lot of money, that's like something that comes in little by little, you have to accumulate it until you have a good amount to be withdrawable. The difficult thing is not to spend it when you're playing what you already have is previously had.

It can be avoided indeed if you have that limitation and you securely implement things while inside the house, there are responsible gambler who can continue to enjoy their stay, they understand the risk and they are willing to spend money just to fill that desire inside them, most of those responsible gambler do manage to win some and lose a lot but still capable to stop when they already reached the limit that they place before gaming.

What is important is you will not overdo your stay and you will keep whatever the limit that you setup, though sometimes maybe you can exceed but knowing how to reset everything will keep the enjoyment to stay.

So far I have never heard or known of doctor who advised patient to engage in gambling activities and of course doctor would only suggest more beneficial activity such as exercising, this would be very useful alternative activity.
I sure there is no doctor who does something like that and if there were then I sure he would not be doctor, doctors are highly educated people and they know the causes and effects of every activity on mental and psychological health.
It is an unreasonable statement to say that the alternative recommended by the doctor is gambling, even though the patient likes gambling, it is still not recommended.
Whether it is as therapy or as an alternative in health or so on, gambling is still not something that can be used as therapy and we know that gambling has quite significant negative impact on some people who fail to have the right mindset and approach.

If you are careful the damage will be reduced a lot missteps lead to bad luck. If you have less experience in gambling it is better not to be here because if the greed works inside you will find yourself a victim of bad consequences. To be like a responsible gambler follow them. They are not greedy how to protect their funds and proceed with a budget. There must be tolerance inside and can never try to recover the damage then all is over.

I think that if they take the wrong action that leads them to addiction, it will be difficult for them to get out of a situation that is already considered an addiction. with those who are trapped in the addiction zone, it is indeed because of their own careless actions, so when they are trapped in a gambling addiction, it is indeed because of the consequences that they put themselves in that way. and in my opinion they should be able to get out, even though it is difficult but if it is for good then they should be able to do it, because it is also for their own good.

That's right, we have to be careful in taking action, because it can determine us in the future, don't be like most gamblers who take action without considering it well so they experience big losses. This can be avoided if you gamble responsibly, with all actions taken including gambling limits in terms of budget and money allocated for gambling.

actually that is what I completely said mate , that when you are doing unusual things just to collect or have funds to gamble then
that is already a way of showing how addicted you are, so if by all means about gambling sending you away from the family this is certain
that you must stop or else will lose your Life in good manner.
the more we invest in gambling is the more we are dealing with losses so consider stopping when sign is there or admit your life will
be wasted forever.

That's right and I think that limiting your budget is one of the things that should not be ignored and in fact should be prioritized in gambling, after all this is a probability activity which means that it has no certainty of results, gambling is always about "winning and losing" meaning that you can be in two situations at the end of the session and this is why we are not advised at all to put hopes on winning at the end of the session because what is worried is when it turns out that you lose and the hopes that you put will indirectly increase your disappointment at the end of the session when the result turns out to be a loss.

We come back to the budget, the amount you allocate to gambling will determine whether you are a responsible gambler or not, and one of the advantages of putting a small amount then as you said that at least we will be able to slightly avoid the risk of losing large amounts as experienced by addicts and on the other hand this can also keep your mental and psychological safe because anyone does not want to experience a big loss in gambling. I admit that the technique you use is very effective to keep us from the worse possibilities in gambling, so the point is that it all comes back to each of us if you really don't want to experience big problems as a result of wrong gambling then you need to apply methods like this.
