I would also say that, gambling is also a part of recreational entertainment, a way to catch some fun, with also the possibility 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.
Gambling can only be, done as a recreation if their notice a stress behaviour in the gambler and such that, it becomes obvious that the patient need that gambling to get over with what has been stressing him and that is why we call gambling as an entertainment sometimes because through gambling we can eas up alot pf stress, and on the long run it will tell on the over all mental health of the player, amd that is if he gamble for fun and not the other way around.
But to say that a doctor could prescribe gambling for a patient is something that be wrong and unethical for they profession, because advising patient to gamble may result into bad gambling experience.
