Understanding Problem Gambling
What Is Problem Gambling
Problem gambling, also referred to as “gambling addiction,” is a recognized mental health disorder that involves gambling behavior that is damaging to a person, their family, or their career. A gambling addiction is marked by warning signs such as thinking about gambling all the time, feeling the need to bet more money more often, and going back to try and win your losses back.
Medical Definitions
Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not lead directly to health issues. Still, the compulsive need to gamble and the financial stress caused by gambling losses can have severe consequences for individuals and their families at home and in the workplace. Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts have also been linked to problem gambling.
Gambling Disorder
Gambling disorder is identified by a pattern of repeated and ongoing betting and wagering that continues despite creating multiple problems in several areas of an individual’s life. A diagnosis requires multiple identified behaviors or consequences within the past year.
Gambling & Alcoholism
Research has shown that many individuals who have gambling problems also have issues with alcohol. The two addictions feed into each other, as alcohol can impair judgment when gambling, and emotions from significant losses or wins when gambling can lead to more alcohol use.
Why Is Gambling Addictive?
Much like many stimulating drugs, gambling is potentially addictive due to its powerful stimulation of the brain’s reward system. Gambling can increase dopamine release, producing euphoria. Over time, gambling can alter the brain’s structure and function, making it difficult for individuals to experience pleasure without gambling. This can lead to a cycle of dependence and addiction that is difficult to break without professional help.
Statistics
Prevalence
According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, about 2.5 million U.S. adults are estimated to meet the criteria for gambling disorder, with another 5-8 million meeting one or more of the criteria while being short of a complete disorder diagnosis.
Consequences
Problem gambling can lead to many consequences, and not just for the individual doing the gambling. Financial issues can harm the entire family, and the compulsive need to gamble can lead to problems at work. Emotional and mental issues such as being absent in the home, depression, and suicidal thoughts are known to stem from gambling disorder.
