Title: Does gambling affect mental health?
Post by: MVL~$ on February 03, 2024, 10:27:54 AM
Gambling is usually played as a form of entertainment. But nowadays many people want to adopt it as a means of earning money. If you win by gambling early on, it will release dopamine in your brain. As a result you will try to play more later. This is how it will make you addicted. It affects the mental health of those who gamble regularly. It acts as an arousal during play, causing anxiety. As we feel before the exam. If regular gamblers stop suddenly, it can affect their mental health. What is your opinion?

If you're playing with some loose change, you probably wouldn't care even if you do it on a weekly basis.
If you're playing with larger amount, it's a no-brainer that it will affect you mentally on some level.

Gambling is usually played as a form of entertainment. But nowadays many people want to adopt it as a means of earning money.
I would argue that many gamblers are entertained from winning (earning money). I think there are only a few people who would remain happy after losing thousands of dollars.

Truly, cessation of gambling specifically for gambling addicts can lead to withdrawal symptoms and psychological distress and this affects the gambler`s mental health. These withdrawal symptoms can manifest in depression, continuous graving to gamble, anxiety, and sometimes restlessness.

It can even become a problem for a gambler who is using gambling as a coping mechanism. If a gambler does not address the underlying issues that led to their gambling addiction, it becomes difficult to abstain and may experience worsening of their mental health as a result.

Well yeah if a gambler still has an urge to gamble even though he already has stopped then he or she might suffer confusion, hallucination and other emotions that might encourage 'em to go back into it. Refraining from such activities in a sudden way is like an impact of a bus running fast and then suddenly stepping fully on the brakes will make a disastrous effect on the passengers inside. Things don't need to be done in rush as we have the choice to do it slowly for a much better results.

This is why there's a risk if newbies experience early winning streaks on the first day they bet or gamble, they will try to duplicate their early wins on their succeeding bets and it will be very disappointing if they do not reach it, so they will try to add more funds to their bankroll, extend their playing hours and explore methods on how they can duplicate their early wins and this is where the addiction started and this is where anxiety and disappointment sets in, it will be too late to find out that there's no guaranty of winning in gambling, the house will always beat you.

From a very ancient time, people played gambling in different categories, and with time it changed from a source of income to just for entertainment. People do gambling when they get bored and want to spend some time they go through gambling but now people are changing their mood again and making it a source of income. It's good to do entertainment as well as earn money but the problem is people can't control their desires related to gambling and want more and more money and chasing this they face a huge loss. So if they can control their emotions then I consider gambling is a good source of income. If you have an addiction then this will disturb your mind as well as your family's peace and will be very difficult to control the situation.

Gambling definitely affects a person mentally. Whenever a person uses gambling as a means of earning money outside of entertainment, he will be psychologically affected. So you should always gamble while maintaining your personality, never give your all to gamble. Especially among us, sometimes when we gamble regularly and win, it becomes very difficult to stop gambling in between. Sometimes when the gambling budget runs out, we develop a different mentality towards gambling. Overall, gambling can definitely affect a person psychologically. Conflicts between brothers due to gambling Gambling causes trouble between husband and wife. So this gambling game should never be emotionally draining and gambling should always be used as entertainment.

losing money will always affect individuals.  you don't have to example dopamine in the brain but someone who accidentally lost money and will think of recovering it.
the gambler himself will also do the same by doubling down of his bets.

stopping the addiction abruptly may not be possible since his mind is not ready for it. he will still have the itch to get back whenever he has money or the opportunity to come back. i'm not  sure of mental health since this is not a drug addiction.

However, in reality, most gamblers actually gamble not only for fun but also to make money. They will get their own satisfaction when they play gambling and earn money. even though what happens is that it will be very difficult to get money and profits from gambling. Moreover, if you are addicted to gambling then it is not just about fun but it is a satisfaction in itself if you have taken it out on gambling

For those who are addicted to gambling, it seems difficult if they have to stop gambling suddenly.
It takes a process to go through for gamblers to stop suddenly because I'm sure this gambler still wants to continue gambling as if he had lunch every day.
The gambler's mental health will also feel fluctuating because the gambling is done frequently but stops suddenly, but perhaps after getting used to stopping gambling, the gambler's mental health will recover soon.

Gambling is usually played as a pastime by high net worth players and wealthy individuals. A poor gambler does not take it as a pastime rather they try to earn money by gambling. Gambling is like a drug that will make you addicted when you can't quit gambling so keep it under your control. Gambling constantly gets out of control and you will lose money constantly and at some point you will be broke. That is why a player should not take gambling as entertainment but should take it seriously and gamble responsibly.

Both. Gambling can affect your mental health, especially when you have been gambling for a long time and have lost more than your fair share. Conversely, someone who has mental health problems, especially impulse control problems, or a tendency to impulsive behaviour, can end up in a very bad way if they gamble. In extreme cases this is a fish that bites its own tail, impulsive people who lose a lot with gambling and this causes them to enter a depressive emotional state in which at times they regret it but which triggers their impulsivity even more and they return to gambling losing more and more.

You have a point there mate, gambling does affect our mental health status and i experienced that on my own. That is why i tried to avoid going to physical gambling sites so my gambling activity would be minimized.

Now, i online gamble on sports betting as we I can't avoid gambling abruptly, little by little maybe i will be free from gambling totally but not yet as of this time.

If they gamble irregularly and always want to win gambling even they will always follow defeat, then I can say their mental health should be questioned, because it could be that they are already addicted to gambling.

The problem is that the only one who can know whether they are addicted or not is themselves. Maybe for some people who gamble openly we can already judge that the person is addicted. But for others who gamble secretly and not many people know it is not easy to detect whether they are addicted or not.

I think the more dangerous ones are those who gamble secretly, because of that, other people won't be able to help because they don't know about it. Unlike people who openly gamble.

Yes i think gambling affect mental health, there has no doubt. We all are know that gambling has two side win or loss. When we able to win then we were very happy but when we fall in loss then we saw many people has been mentally disorder.

So it is proven that gambling affects on mental health there has no doubt. When we win then creat positive impact and when we loss then it affect negatively on our mental health.

True. And that is what humans felt during and after those events because that's human nature. It will affect ourselves based on how we react to winnings and loss. That is why we need to be mentally and physically fit before going to gambling activities so that we are able to control our emotions.

Well, watching football all day is addictive, playing e-Sport alsofucking additive, not only for those who play it, also for those who watch it.

So, the addiction effect is always present, but it is activated in "disease" mode according to each individual.

Of course there are phases of stress, intensity, but it is each person's path to control them and that is where I raise my hand to say; Betting should not affect your healthy mind, if you have a positive experience with the game.

By the way, with positive situation, I do not mean making profits, its regardless of this, winning or losing, you remain mentally healthy.

Correct. Because of this, when a gambler quits, they need extra love and support from those around them to help them overcome their addiction to gambling, as leaving them alone to do so may trigger their gambling addiction.

It's not an easy task to stop gambling. People who love their sanity will do everything in their power to relocate to a region with no gambling establishments.

It is true that gambling is generally played for fun by people because everyone wants to see their favorite team win. But I mainly gamble and bet on three types of games which are football games and cricket games and jackpots. I usually like to see my favorite team always win here I get great pleasure and I usually bet here. When my favorite team loses, I feel very sad and my mental strength is weak. 

This is how it will make you addicted. It affects the mental health of those who gamble regularly. It acts as an arousal during play, causing anxiety. As we feel before the exam. If regular gamblers stop suddenly, it can affect their mental health. What is your opinion?

And can never give up gambling, it keeps me mentally strong. 
I left gambling to practice health and mental balance.

People usually do not gamble for fun but they play with the aim of making money and winning big jackpots. But gambling is a highly addictive addiction where people will definitely get stuck here at some point if they play this game regularly day in and day out. And when a person gets stuck in gambling he loses his mental balance and falls into many harms and at one time his health is put under a lot of stress and suffers from that illness. Gambling creates a separate addiction in his brain where he cannot live without gambling and gradually his addiction grows. So if you want to gamble, you must keep your responsibility and don't immerse yourself in gambling, if you immerse yourself, you will definitely lose money and lose your mental balance. So one should always keep oneself under control while gambling and refrain from excessive gambling.

Of course, gambling can have a negative effect on people mentally, especially when a gambler loses a big bet. Many a time many gamblers cannot accept such defeats easily so they become mentally broken when they suffer huge losses and become bankrupt. Moreover, these problems are more acute in the case of gamblers who live a lonely life and in some cases they become mentally disordered and go crazy. And for those gamblers who take part in gambling with loans, if they lose for any reason, they do not hesitate to commit suicide.

In Fact it leads to some people's death because of huge amount of money they have loss for betting and there minds could not bear the pains inside them and put them in the stage of dilemma and confusion ,But when they win feels happy for it.

You are very correct about the dopamine effect gambling has on the brain, gamblers that are chronically addicted don't care whether they lose or win they just want to satisfy the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the consequences. Continuing in this addiction can affect your mental health negatively, if a gambler stops gambling I wouldn't really say your mental health would be affected in fact that's way of helping yourself. Gambling constantly Can lead to anxiety and depression, this can affect every area of your life

The mentality of an addict will be really affected, because there is something that will be stuck in their brain and it causes anxiety or whatever, exactly as you said.

Usually all addicts will feel that, not only in gambling addiction, but it is for all forms of addiction that we know so far. This may also be said to be a disease in health and that is why we recommend for those who are addicted to go to an expert.

To avoid getting to a level where your mental health declines up to the level where it starts causing you problems as well as problems with your relationship with your family and friends, you should always take out time to pause and reevaluate your gambling activities so that you can remain a responsible gambler who gambles within his or her limits.

True and it will forever create a negative effect to that specific individual if not treated or rehabilitated. At first it will ruin their apetite and their physical health will deteriorate and then they will become moody and if poor they will begin to steal and do stupid things and will soon become agressive that is ehy if left untreated some of them became homeless and will develop a mental disorder that may end them up to mental hospital and unfortunately for some that has no family and relatives they are roaming in the streets.

Gambling is very risky and those who are addicted to it incur huge financial losses due to which they suffer from depression and it puts them under mental pressure and hence it has a bad effect on mental health. So gambling should be used as fun as much as possible and gambling should be taken in such a way that it becomes addictive. It is a very active thing so very quickly a person becomes addicted to gambling which later damages them both financially and mentally.

Well said. A mental health problem does not arise out of nowhere. The thought of losing something important or valuable can drive anyone crazy, especially if the loss could have been avoided. Sometimes I see posts from punters who post games and then write "BET YOUR HOUSE ON THIS." This type of write-up can persuade a gambler to make decisions against his will or to bet more than usual in order to win big.

When things do not go as planned, the gambler will suffer a severe loss, and if money was borrowed to gamble or a property was sold to gamble, the gambler may develop a mental health problem as a result of the significant loss. This is why, as a gambler, you should avoid being desperate to win.

Have you heard that statement or regular phrases that often says gamble with what you can afford to lose??
Yes, no matter how attractive the bet could be its imperatively to know that what you bet might be lost forever without even you having that luck to get it back again, so why would they go gamble with an amount they can't afford to lose or let go. So betting a house or any physical properties doesn't show how clever that gambler is because they are extremely taking higher risk.

Are you asking this question because you don’t know the answer or because you’re seeking for the opinion of the general public because I’m very sure that everyone or should I say every gambler knows that gambling has the ability to affect one’s mental health, especially when the gambling has become a problem for you and is leading or has already led to addiction. When a gambler can no more make rational gambling decisions when gambling and this could cause him to lose money regularly to gambling, nothing causes a mental strain or stress more to a gambler than when he loses more than he initially intended to lose, and especially when the money was initially meant for something else and there’s no way to get the money back, this would automatically put him under pressure and through mental stress. And we already know this sort of things happen to gamblers everyday when they’re struggling with addiction.

Well, gambling involves winning and losing. As long as the gambler is betting, there is stress in him. Which naturally can be a gambler's health risk. But it takes on a larger dimension when a gambler tries to manage gambling beyond his ability. There are some gamblers who gamble even with borrowed money after losing their own money, in which case those gamblers have a high chance of losing. Many fail to control their depression or interpersonal stress, which can increase the gambler's health risks. But if one conducts controlled gambling and sets a limit on gambling then gambling may not be a major problem.

Putting yourself out of control in gambling comes with a lot of risk. Because when he becomes addicted to gambling and gets out of control he starts gambling beyond his means, which leads him to big losses. Moreover, most of the gamblers these days are addicted to gambling, very few gamble just for entertainment. Especially nowadays even minor boys are getting addicted to gambling which is very harmful to our society. Everyone should be aware in this regard.

But it takes on a larger dimension when a gambler tries to manage gambling beyond his ability. There are some gamblers who gamble even with borrowed money after losing their own money, in which case those gamblers have a high chance of losing. Many fail to control their depression or interpersonal stress, which can increase the gambler's health risks. But if one conducts controlled gambling and sets a limit on gambling then gambling may not be a major problem.
Putting yourself out of control in gambling comes with a lot of risk. Because when he becomes addicted to gambling and gets out of control he starts gambling beyond his means, which leads him to big losses. Moreover, most of the gamblers these days are addicted to gambling, very few gamble just for entertainment. Especially nowadays even minor boys are getting addicted to gambling which is very harmful to our society. Everyone should be aware in this regard.

Yeah we all know that everyone can fall for being a addicted gambler. But the thing is how it affects our mind. Obviously, it's has bad effect as our judgement are clouded because all we think is gambling and we can't function as normal human being.

I have seen this kind of effects to some, specially if they have big loses, they don't want to get out of their bed and interact with other people and all day, they think of going back to recover what he have lost and so that is a very dangerous mindset, as it is the ill effects of gambling.

Yes, Gambling can affect mental health because once you get addicted you will experience the negative effects of it especially on mental health It can cause stress, loss of control over gambling, or worse depression. A person may also struggle with mood swings, feeling happy when they win but frustrated or angry when they lose, and once they started losing streak their mental state will get worsen.

The mentality of an addict will be really affected, because there is something that will be stuck in their brain and it causes anxiety or whatever, exactly as you said.

Usually all addicts will feel that, not only in gambling addiction, but it is for all forms of addiction that we know so far. This may also be said to be a disease in health and that is why we recommend for those who are addicted to go to an expert.
True and it will forever create a negative effect to that specific individual if not treated or rehabilitated. At first it will ruin their apetite and their physical health will deteriorate and then they will become moody and if poor they will begin to steal and do stupid things and will soon become agressive that is ehy if left untreated some of them became homeless and will develop a mental disorder that may end them up to mental hospital and unfortunately for some that has no family and relatives they are roaming in the streets.
Sooner or later it will eat away at them, both physically and mentally, so that's why we keep talking about gambling responsibly. Even though we also gamble, the difference is that we are able to be responsible for what we do.

I personally also keep trying to stay on the right path, I mean even though we are now responsible, it doesn't mean we are free from the risk of addiction. So we also have to be careful.

...If you win by gambling early on, it will release dopamine in your brain. As a result you will try to play more later. This is how it will make you addicted. It affects the mental health of those who gamble regularly. It acts as an arousal during play, causing anxiety. As we feel before the exam. If regular gamblers stop suddenly, it can affect their mental health. What is your opinion?
It is, that those who greedily gamble will suffer sooner or later. It sometimes consumes life when too much mental issues and one can't handle the burden. There are several cases here in my area that just a few months ago because of gambling addiction, particularly on slots, the most advertised gambling game at that time.

That's the problem right now (bolded text). Most of the gamblers are looking at gambling as their way to make more money and because of that, losing too much money in gambling for them would be a problem for some reasons. Because of this kind of mindset, it would start changing yourself, your mental and maybe physical health as well. It can also change your relationship with your family, friends and other people. You might feel stressed, then the anxiety and finally depressed especially when you lost too much money on gambling.

Overall, gambling in general affect mental health in different ways. It will just depend on the person itself.

When someone relies too much on gambling he will face negative effect from gambling, that means if someone becomes too eager to win that increases the risk of losing at some point. A gambler should keep gambling as a form of entertainment, but when he becomes overly optimistic, he is exposed to more and more losses. In this way, he is exposed to a certain level of risk. Excessive gambling not only causes mental health problems but also bring other problems.

It's no longer a brainer that too much gambling leads to addiction and it can affect one's mental health if one doesn't learn to minimize it by meeting therapists to guide them on ways to stop gambling addiction.

Nothing triggers addiction to gambling when someone goes into it with the mind for money-making. That step alone has made the majority of gamblers get caught easily because their focus is on money, not on gambling for fun.

Sometimes seeing incidents like this is very unfortunate if they experience defeat, and the one who can help is themselves, how to organize their lives again, besides that the role of the family also has a big influence on their recovery.

Gambling really affects mental health in so many ways because when all your hopes and resources you use in gambling doesn't come out the way you wants it to be it will have an effect on you especially when you lose money that is huge and you don't have money in that particular point in time it has a way of affecting you psychologically this is the more reason that you should not bet what you can't afford to lose because lossing could be depressing some times because  hopes and expectations are high and when it doesn't go as you have planned it, it takes a negative effects on your mental health stability

But who could say the mental health of a person is already in a condition that we could consider addicted crazilly in gambling?

Because one person I have talked with seem like a gambling addict already. He gamble one night and then the next night he just sits watching people play and talk like a normal person as well. They don't show signs of distress though but they only have problems in gambling.

If a gambler gambles excessively, then there is a high chance of his health deteriorating. Especially those who become addicted to gambling. Addicted gamblers do not have a specific time to gamble and do not care about their body or interests. They think about gambling most of the day and night. They do not even take their meal properly. At some point, their health risks increase. However, if gambling is played within control, there is no big negative effect.

Yes, it affects the mental health due to psychological reason but also it causes some chemical changes due to the dopamine secretion but not much compared to other addiction so most causes are due to psychological impact not really due to betting activity. So how to save us which is simple don't bet more than you afford to lose and if you can't lose anything at all then just don't bet.

Different from someone who has a deep love for gambling, he will feel that gambling is a part of his life... and when gambling is lost from his life habits, it will damage the person's mentality..

So IMO what affects a person's mental health is how much the person wants...

By playing gambling a man’s mind and brain hardly crashes. And it continues to have many kinds of effects of their daily life. And physical and mental changes occur and it becomes much difficult for him when he wants to get out of gambling.
A person who addicted to gambling for a long time can never leave this habit. And the one who wins in gambling then comes to mind and wants to be addicted to gambling again.
It’s really important that people will take precautions during gambling and take necessary steps to get rid of that addiction.

Paying much attention to control over developed habits is something that need to be considered so they will not have a negative effect. However, an activity if can be done without bounds, then the risk may be higher and may affect different aspects of human life. Thus, understanding defining state is something that produces positive effects both for the self and the emerging environment. That being said, we do not need such excitement within our lives, and do not wish to be made to shoulder decisions which are less managed. The self-regulation of the conduct we display in all matters, including with regards to use, time, and money, is used to spare ourselves from getting into troubles in the coming years. With every more precise call, more comfort and well-being will be ensured for ourselves and for the people with whom we interact.

Gambling does affect mental health. If there are recorded cases of death after a gambling loss, what do you expect if one loses a game they already have in mind to win, maybe all their hope is banked on a particular game to favor them but the reverse was the case. This is why gamblers are advised to gamble responsibly and not for profit but rather for fun and in moderation so that what ever the result be, it would not affect them.

And when there is addiction there is no other remedy but to attack the problem however it may be in order to heal little by little. It is imperative that the person also does their part so that things turn out well and the healing process begins. As long as a person remains addicted and gambling, the problems will increase more and more. One must detoxify immediately by stopping gambling for as long as necessary.

That's not madness, that's self explanation. This happen to not only gamblers. It happens to people that are going through alot and has nobody to vent the anger on, so instead of talking to people, they talk to their self and probably feels better. Sometimes, saying out the things that is bordering you makes you feel better and focus on the next thing.

In gambling, people go through alot by losing money, you can only imagine how they think on how to get back the money. This thoughts alone is enough to make you talk to yourself if you don't have anyone to speak to, it's a natural phenomenon.

Yep, and most are in a negative way.

Their desire to win more in gambling is one of the reasons why they are getting affected mentally. Their why affects them. Why? They gamble, they lost, they borrow, they gamble again, they lost again, and the cycle goes on, and on, and on. This is the scenario for most of the gambler hence, they're getting affected mentally.

Yep... holding back is the hardest thing, because usually the act of withdrawing from gambling is still impulsive for a moment, when someone feels his life again, he will start to be tempted little by little to return to gambling gradually...

There must be further rehabilitation when someone has really decided to quit gambling... I know the feeling of addiction is very strong, even attached to the brain..and it often happens, those who were proud to be able to feel free from the clutches of gambling, finally end up returning to repeating the dark times...

It takes special rehabilitation to be able to restrain yourself from avoiding gambling when you have decided to quit.

If you're playing with some loose change, you probably wouldn't care even if you do it on a weekly basis.
If you're playing with larger amount, it's a no-brainer that it will affect you mentally on some level.

Gambling is usually played as a form of entertainment. But nowadays many people want to adopt it as a means of earning money.
I would argue that many gamblers are entertained from winning (earning money). I think there are only a few people who would remain happy after losing thousands of dollars.

Not a single gambler is entertained or happy after loosing money no matter how small. Even if the money is spare cash it doesn't mean it should be thrown away. The hope and joy of every gambling is in winning and winning big

You are among the most honest guys I have known that don't hide or pretend about this gambling entertainment and loss. One can gamble for fun but the fun disappear when there is nothing to win because nobody like to celebrate loss no matter how it looks whether it's for entertainment porposes or it's for money purpose, no body want to see him lost to th casino.

It's a natural phenomenon for people reaction when they loss money, it's easy for people to want to gamble but what comes after is what they won later that matters to them and not what they did in the process or before the gambling.

It is true that every gambler would want to win big which is natural but the truth remains the same that in a game there must be a loser and there must be a winner either ways, it is a 50 50 game and this is they reasons gamblers are advised to see gambling as fun and slaos use their spare funds so that it would not bother them if anything not contray to their plans happens.

The feelings are always natural and genuine as nobody wants to be a loser but the truth remains the same way it is. It is better a gambler do away with thought and just play for fun and maybe take victory as a rewards or accept defeat as the fun involved and move on.
