Gambling addiction, also known as gambling disorder, is a recognized mental health condition in which a person continues to gamble despite negative consequences. Over time, gambling can become difficult to control, leading to financial stress, emotional distress, strained relationships, and challenges at work or school.
Unlike casual gambling, gambling addiction isn't simply about money—it's often driven by the urge to keep playing, chase losses, or escape difficult emotions. Without treatment, the cycle can become increasingly difficult to break.
Recovery is possible with the right treatment and support.
