Re: How To Handle Depression as a result of gambling addiction..?
Which when the person suffering from it can no longer handle it, it can really lead to unexpected death if they neglect it. So having an addiction is truly a choice, it is not just a coincidence that comes into the life of a gambler. I hope we never hear of anything like this again because of gambling addiction. Condolences to the family of the one left behind. 
I like your opinion that addiction is a choice because we voluntarily seek gambling for fun but we choose to become addicted due to our greediness. There’s a lot of gambler that is not addicted and can play normally without experiencing depression despite having loss.
Addiction is brutal if the person experiencing it hides to his family or he is living alone without someone to share.
Most of the story related to death due to addiction are those people that discreet with their life.
But however, not all addicted people who lost their lives due to the gambling addiction actually were people who descreted or separated themselves from the outside world, some actually ended up killing themself even while in the midst of people, friends, family who cared about them.
Sometimes, it's not really the depression and addiction to gambling that pushes them to want to commit suicide, it's pressure, pressure from people they are oweing money and all that.
