Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is often defined by whether harm is experienced by the gambler or others, rather than by the gambler's behavior. Problem gambling may be diagnosed as clinical pathological gambling if the gambler meets the correct criteria. Pathological gambling is considered to be an impulse control disorder and is therefore not considered to be an addiction. Gambling can ruin peoples lives. Some people gamble money that they don't have thinking they will win big and will be able to pay it back but it never quite works like that. People take out loans to bet with and then they end up digging themselves deeper in debt. Most gamblers are people in debt looking for a fast break and a quick way out of their problems.

ReplyDeleteGambling is a bad thing because people who gamble could use up their whole entire pay check on it so it could be very bad. I think that gambling should be outlawed
