I heard about gambling therapy and it prick my mind to which I asked myself when last did I  go for gambling therapy? I could recall and that's because I have never had one since I believe am gambling responsibly.

What's gambling therapy?

Yeah, you read that correctly , it says people affected by gambling problem. But after reading I took an opposing view about it because gambling therapy shouldn't be something simply painted exclusively for people with gambling addiction problems alone. In as much as you're a gambler, whether  a gambler that has his gambling habit under control, going for a gambling therapy should be a habit we should acculturate ourselves with, at least twice a year (ones in every 6months).

We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to  reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing. Right? same behavior can be applied to gambling , do you agree or it's not necessary until you start getting a gambling problem .

I also heard about such kind of therapy but think they treat more than often psychological health problems rather than those ones that could treated therapeutically. I have some relation to various medical centers (supplying them the relevant electronic equipment) and some times bring up this subject to their leading  specialists  in the field. Some of them expressed the view that the tumult of the gambler's mind is inextricably bound up with his general health.
