Yesterday I watched a video about addiction on youtube:
https://youtu.be/ao8L-0nSYzg. It was a real surprise to me that according to recent research people are addicted to drugs mainly because they can't bond well with people and are not able to live a satisfying life. The research shows that when an addicted person appears in a loving and caring environment, the addiction kind of disappears (even heroin addiction). I wonder what are your thoughts on this matter and whether you think you could say the same about gambling addiction.
I am no expert but I think that addiction is linked with mental health. I mean it's common sense. If you have a poor mental health, you'll do things to cope everyday even when it means lunging into substance or gambling addiction. Both offers chemicals which can make a person feel happy. Who wouldn't want that?
Gamblers on the other hand is a different story. I think that a person being addicted in gambling isn't necessary because they lack love or something. One can be addicted to gambling simply because they are greedy and they want more money. That then results to a poor mental health condition.
