What are you saying exactly? How can a person with a mental health problem engaged in gambling when gambling in it self requires players to be mentally sound so as to be able to make well research decisions?

Like I said before, this whole idea of a doctor recommending gambling to a patient is just crazy, I seriously wonder who began or suggested this whole thing of doctors recommending gambling to patients, this is something Ive never heard of or even ever thought about, I honestly will consider a doctor who does it did this to be a quack or fake doctor.

Every ailment or sickness, be it mental related, or stress or anything else, do have a drug for its treatment, gambling is not a drug, but even more like a sickness of its own.

Honestly I also don't really understand what he means, someone who has a mental disorder clearly needs help from experts such as doctors maybe, and it is absolutely not recommended for them to get involved in gambling, because as you said that gambling requires mental health and therefore it will be very useful to make considerations for making decisions such as in terms of budget amounts, and if the person turns out to have a mental disorder then it is clearly a ridiculous idea/suggestion if you or anyone else tells them to get involved in gambling activities which basically healthy people can end up stressed because of this activity especially if they gamble with the wrong approach.

On the other hand doctors usually always give the best to their patients whether it's in terms of service, prescription drugs or even in terms of advice given, and honestly I don't believe if there are doctors who recommend their patients who have mental disorders to get involved in gambling, I understand that gambling can be fun and maybe the doctor only sees one side of the fun in gambling, I understand that gambling can be fun and maybe the doctor only sees one side of the fun that is in gambling, and the problem is that he doesn't see the negative side of gambling at all which in the end as I said above that this activity can even make normal people stressed, this kind of recommendation really doesn't make sense and I never thought about it before.

Gambling must be done with full awareness and carried out with complete control. If in fact an individual is experiencing mental problems, then it would be a bad idea to ask that individual to enter the world of gambling and place bets. because even those who have a healthy mentality can become bad, especially those who have a bad mentality, maybe who knows what will happen if that individual enters the world of gambling. I can't even imagine it.
Because no matter how gambling, it must be done with great care, because if not, a person will not only suffer financial losses, but he will also experience other negative impacts, such as mental health and others.

And I agree with your opinion, it would be better if the person was taken to a mental health specialist to receive special treatment, so that he can recover as before.
