Gambling Addiction Treatment
Gambling is a game of risk and reward where people put their money toward something that will give them the chance of winning more. For most people, gambling is an occasional diversion — something that is fun to do and offers the possibility of making a significant sum of money without having to work for it. Unfortunately for some, gambling comes with an uncontrollable urge to keep risking money despite financial losses and strained relationships. They continue to gamble regardless of the consequences, and like many other forms of addiction, it can take control of your life.
The first step toward healing is a phone call to a gambling addiction psychologist who can help you work through it.
Symptoms of Gambling Disorder
Gambling addiction, also known as gambling disorder, is associated with the production of the feel-good brain chemical, dopamine, in a way that’s similar to other addictions such as drugs or alcohol. Over time, an otherwise harmless game can turn into an unhealthy obsession characterized by a loss of control. The following symptoms are some of the signs and symptoms of gambling addiction:
- All-consuming thoughts about gambling
- Feeling anxious when you’re not able to gamble
- Preoccupation with how to get more money gambling money
- Experiencing problems at work or at home due to gambling
- Taking higher risks to get the same rush
- Hiding your gambling habits from others
- Risking more money in an attempt to get back money that was lost
- Selling possessions to get more gambling money
- Resorting to illegal activity such as theft to get more gambling money
- Lying to others and jeopardizing relationships because of gambling
- Attempting to stop gambling without success
Risk Factors
There are many people who can gamble responsibly and never become addicted. However, careful evaluation of those who have gambling disorder has shown some common factors.
Personality
People who are highly competitive and don’t like to lose have a higher chance of developing a gambling disorder.
