Re: Responsible gambling

I don't think gambling can change anyone's bad manners or behavior.. Gambling is an addicting activity. doing it within a reasonable time lime is fine. but if someone gets addicted to it. I might worsen his manners even more like every other habit out there, so don't take gambling as a therapy Wink

Does any therapist even recommend gambling for anything? Like, because you are passing through some kind of mental challenge, they will now recommend gambling to you? I don't think that's possible, but it's possible for a therapist to tell a gambler to gamble once in a while in order to reduce his stress and boredom, which is recommendable.

But on the aspect of those who are already violent in nature and get themselves involved in any manner of ill behaviour, it's highly advisable for such a person to be taken out of gambling because the emotional stress that gambling can add to the person's current state means they can end up performing the unthinkable. The best practice for such a person is social gathering for them to socialise and adopt others way of life.

Really I haven't seen any therapist that refer patients to gambling to solve any of they issues before and for that,it clear that gambling can't be taken as recreational activities since it own effects can also affect the individual, so for that gambling is mostly refer to as fun because of the games excitements sometimes and this have no recommendations for any positive outcome of anyone is already facing issues as anxiety stress or whatever nature of mental help needed.

Gambling is fun when an adult plays the game just to pass time and enjoy the process, and not anything close or near doctor prescriptions since no doctor will do that at some point in time.

Haha yes and this is also one of the first ridiculous things I heard involving gambling, how could a doctor refer his suffering patient to turn to gambling or I mean indirectly make gambling a cure to solve the patient's problem, and obviously this is the wrong thing and in my opinion it is a doctor who does not have common sense who gives advice like this to his patients. As you said, gambling as a whole is a pleasure activity and is not at all recommended for people who have previous problems, because obviously if someone does this then they are not solving the previous problem but instead will add new problems as a result of gambling.

I understand that this is an entertainment activity as I said before but we have to look at the other side that there is a possibility of a much greater risk which will certainly endanger the patient even more.
