If gambling is a disease then it can be solved by taking a aspirin unfortunately it won't work that way. Its up to that particular person to fix himself up

In my opinion, I don't think gambling is a disease, for me it is a disorder. There are a lot of kinds of diseases nowadays and how you earn them is through bacterias, heriditary, from other people and a lot of ways. In terms of disorder, it might be because of the state you are in before you got the disorder or also it is hereditary. For me gambling addiction is a mental disorder, you don't know that you are prioritizing the wrong thing,you are spending your money endlessly to something that will destroy you in the end.

I think it's only a proverb, not literally interpreted. addicts can be called diseases because they attack and damage you inside. if you don't treat it properly then it will be very detrimental to you in the end, of course it does not mean the addict is really a disease that is only a proverb`

Therefore, gambling is not diseaae but gambling addiction is a disease because it also can lead to addicted people abnormal condition and the way to control are by applying the method of taking a break when ones start to feel the high spirit of gambling or quit for the day.
