Understanding Gambling Addiction
Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling disorder, is an impulse-control disorder where the urge to gamble becomes overwhelming despite negative consequences. Symptoms include the inability to resist gambling thoughts, increasing amounts of money wagered, restlessness or irritability when trying to stop, and jeopardizing significant relationships or career opportunities due to gambling.
This addiction does not discriminate; it can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or socioeconomic status. It often stems from a combination of biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Recognizing the signs is the first step towards recovery.
