Does gambling affect mental health?

[|MINER|]

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?

Obviously gambling impact on mental health as you said when we are slowly addicted to I think the brain of ours spread more dopamine and like that way in a time it increase loss.
And even then for gambling losses many people goes into depression about their debt and also sometimes it takes to the su*cide. So yes gambling effect our mental health, sometimes by positively and sometimes negatively.

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.

Someone who has a strong desire to quit gambling, he should be proud when he can really leave gambling.. there is no more mental health disorder because he left with pride..

Having a strong desire to quit gambling is a must if you really want to, but there's also one thing that's even harder to do. That's maintaining it. Maintaining to not get yourself into gambling again after deciding to quit is very hard especially now that gambling is everywhere. From social media platforms to physical casinos, to online gambling websites. It's hard to say NO to these temptations.

Re: Does gambling affect mental health?

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.

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.
