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.

You are completely right bud, though I did not follow this particular idea of doctors prescribing gambling to patients as a way for the patient to get over anything, from the beginning, but I am kind of surprised that someone actually does think that any doctor will a ever do that, like prescribe gambling as a medication to whatever, that's so awkward and funny at the same time.

I would also say that, gambling is also a part of recreational entertainment, a way to catch some fun, with also the possibilities of making money in the process, but it's rather sad that many in our contemporary society today no longer treat gambling for what it is, but rather, it has become a business to most people who are gamblers, to the extent that some people now see gambling as a bad thing.
Now I am wondering how a doctor would prescribe gambling to a patient for whatever reason, what if the patient is a non gambler? Lol.
