Gambling Addiction

The primary signs that gambling has become problematic can be difficult to recognize. The first indication that gambling is beginning to affect your quality of life is when it starts to influence your personal life. For many, gambling is a harmless and entertaining recreational activity. However, gambling can become a problem when the player loses control over the time and money they spend. This compulsive behavior is referred to as problem gambling or gambling addiction.

Gambling problems can occur without an official diagnosis. Gambling addiction as a disorder is determined by a doctor or psychologist. Here are some signs that may indicate problematic gambling:

  • Constantly thinking about gambling
  • Seeking excitement by increasing stakes
  • Multiple failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
  • Trying to limit or quit gambling due to excess
  • Using gambling to avoid negative emotions such as helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression
  • Continuing to gamble to recover losses
  • Lying to yourself or others to hide gambling activities
  • Noticing how gambling is affecting important friendships, relationships, educational and professional opportunities
  • Financial difficulties due to gambling expenses
  • Neglecting responsibilities to focus on gambling

Gambling Addiction Is A Public Health Issue

Gambling addiction can negatively impact numerous aspects of life: social relationships, workplace performance, education, professional life, financial situation, social and family life, etc. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling addiction, help is available.
