Disease is something that requires us to take medication given by a doctor to cure it, in contrast to gambling that is only bad habits or bad hobbies that continue to be done even though they know it is bad. Addiction in gambling cannot be cured by medication given by a doctor's prescription, to eliminate gambling addiction we only need to leave it in any way you can, so you will slowly get rid of your addiction in gambling.
But medication help is more important to save someone when they are in serious addiction which can be considered as disease? There are different kind of addiction and also in different levels so most of them no need medical help but psychological advice will be much important when someone want to recover.
Actually gambling addiction is a mental issue, so psychological advice may help people who are suffering from gambling addiction as you said.
Well since you said it that way, it also can be considered as a disease for those that are deep in addiction already that it requires professional help. We have to accept that as a fact. Heavy addiction needs all the professional help it can get along with the help of family and friends.
It is not a disease but it is like a disease. A patient will also die if his disease get out of control and a gambler will also ruin his life when he becomes gambling addicted and lose all his money and other property if he has. In my view there is not a big difference between gambling addiction and disease. In one doctor will take all your money and in the other casinos and online sites will take all your money.

It is more that youngsters who follow what their friends does and want to replicate the same thing. They see that some one has won big money in gambling and think even they can win and in that anticipation keep on losing money till the time they win some money. It more of the replicating what others are doing forgetting that they are not that person.
Yeah you are right that disease can be covered by taking medicines and gambling cannot be quit with anything, just strong decision and determination will make you able to quit gambling addiction forever. A person can think about the verdicts of gambling before going into this world. One difference between these two is this that other people will take care of you if you have some disease, and if you have addiction, some people will hate you.
