Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease?

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.

Gambling addiction is not a disease. It is more related to the greediness nature of human being. The more you think that you want to gain quick money, the more you will play and try your luck with gambling. You might hurt yourself and even your family members if you too much spend in gambling.

Well op probably doesn't literally mean it as a disease but something similar. The fact that it needs to be assessed and given the right attention is similar to how you would start curing both a disease and a disorder. People who are well in control of their emotions are less likely to catch addiction much like someone who have been vaccinated.
