All of stape you mentioned are great. By using these strategies, a gambling addict or a person who has lost a lot of money in gambling can come out of depression.  Telling others about their loss will bring peace of mind.  Again if they take the help of an expert then he can get good advice which will help him a lot to become normal. I already know these things and follow them.  Especially I share things with my friends. Which helps a lot to cure my depression
