If you go by anyhow articles you found, and by YouTube/Social media posts, you would make a mistake. Find a reliable article source from true professionals, especially NGOs and the health-related field.
The first link I posted is about a rehabilitation centre that said at least 1% of crypto traders may be addicted to trading. The second link on the second post is about something similar. I know how lies can be online but I do not consider this one as one. From how trading is, I also think it can be addictive as a result of dopamine effect. Just as people make money and lose money from gambling, the same dopamine effect can occur if it is trading.
There is a point in this, but it only reinforces trading addiction. I never said trading is not addictive. And it hasn't proven any point to substantiate that trading is "as addictive as gambling."
But don't forget, it's not about trading being addictive (it is addictive), but which one is more addictive between trading and gambling.
The OP asked if trading can be addictive like gambling, he did not ask of which one is more addictive.

Then let me remind you of your first post on this thread:
Trading can be as addictive as gambling.
This is now beyond what the OP asked, you've made the comparison already, which led us here.
