Gambling Addiction

Addicted to Gambling?

Compulsive gambling is a severe mental health disorder that can have a devastating impact on the individual's life, as well as on their family and loved ones. It's a progressive addiction that can start as a simple form of entertainment or a way to relieve stress. Over time, the individual's behavior becomes increasingly obsessive, and they can't stop gambling despite the negative consequences it brings. As the addiction progresses, the individual may engage in risky behaviors such as lying, stealing, or cheating to continue gambling. They may also experience financial ruin, job loss, and relationship problems, which only exacerbate their addiction.
