Those gamblers that are doing this are so addicted to gambling that they can't control themselves anymore, which includes selling properties and getting into debt. This kind of person needs treatments from doctors and psychologists as they cannot cure themselves, as are his family. This needs support and attention. What's worse right now is that we can now gamble online, unlike before, when it was only in person, and that was known to gamblers. The effect of this is that people are becoming more addicted to gambling.
Someone who is addicted to gambling to the extent that he sells assets or property just to gamble is very difficult to recover from, even doctors or psychologists will not be able to cure him.
If he can recover, he will not recover completely but rather forget about gambling and when in his daily life he still sees gambling activities he can easily return to gambling and become an addict again.
In overcoming gambling addiction, no one has been able to provide a settlement solution so that gambling addiction can be cured and gone from some people who have already become addicts.
