Even if they’re on a losing streak, people who are addicted to gambling can’t control their urge to gamble. Not only can they end up losing the money in their wallets or bank accounts, but they can also end up losing their jobs and their homes and damage their closest relationships. They can end up anxious and depressed, bankrupt, and even homeless.
It’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help. If you suspect that you or a loved one might be addicted to gambling, you should turn to a mental health specialist for assistance. Preferably someone who specializes in addiction and gambling.

Teenagers and even young kids can fall deep into gambling addiction, too. This, in turn, can have extremely negative consequences for their future development.

There are serious concerns about the fact that kids are exposed to ads where athletes and well-known sports figures promote sports betting and gambling. “It’s the wild, wild west with regard to gambling,” says social worker Lia Nower, JD, PhD, the director of the Center for Gambling Studies at Rutgers University.
Have you or your loved ones ever had to overcome addiction? Have you ever seen someone you care about struggle with gambling? What did you do to help them?
