They need an assistance and support from the medical experts as well as from their family who really cares about them. though it is a situational issues, It's better to at least giving a try to set a budget also seeking medical help so that gamblers can make a better decision for theirself.
Those who are addicted to gambling don't want to listen to advice from anyone, especially when they still have money. They will only listen to the voice of greed telling them to gamble. This requires hard work from the people around them so that people who are addicted to gambling can realize that they have a gambling addiction.
If they can and are willing to realize they are addicted to gambling and see what is happening to them, it will be easier to counsel them. They may be more likely to listen to what the people around them say and be willing to undergo further examination to determine the type of therapy.
That is why, before we experience gambling addiction, we must limit our gambling. We can do all the things we can to prevent us from experiencing gambling addiction. And if we are really serious about it, we will not get too deep into gambling and will not experience any problems.
