Gambling Addiction
A personalized therapeutic program for individuals who have developed a gambling addiction, affecting their personal, financial, and emotional well-being.
Gambling addiction is a behavioural disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to gamble or bet, even when facing negative consequences. Like other addictions, it is caused by neurotransmitter imbalances, particularly dopamine, which creates sensations of pleasure and reward.
Over time, the individual builds tolerance, needing to gamble more frequently and with higher stakes to achieve the same effect. This leads to a vicious cycle, where the desire to gamble intensifies and self-control progressively decreases.
Symptoms of Gambling Addiction
Affected individuals may show specific signs and behaviours, including:
- constant preoccupation with gambling of any kind;
- using gambling as a coping mechanism for stress or emotional problems;
- inability to control the urge to gamble;
- neglecting daily responsibilities (work, family, financial duties);
- financial problems – spending essential funds on gambling;
- selling personal belongings to obtain gambling money;
- excessive borrowing and accumulation of debt;
- lying or stealing to support gambling behaviour;
- feelings of guilt, shame, and anxiety after major losses;
- chasing losses – taking greater risks to recover lost money;
Unlike casual gamblers who set limits and stop when losing, those with gambling addiction keep playing, trying to win back losses, leading to a destructive spiral.
Consequences of Untreated Gambling Addiction
Without treatment, gambling addiction can severely affect personal, social, and professional life, leading to:
- strained relationships with family and friends;
- workplace issues, declining performance, or job loss;
- severe financial difficulties, including loss of home or assets;
- legal problems, caused by debt or illegal acts to obtain money;
- mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or insomnia;
- in extreme cases, suicidal thoughts or attempts.
