Gamble can put you in a depression state.

[DragonF]

I think you are miss understanding the whole thing here because gambling is not entertainment rather watching the game live gives you that entertainment moment they are saying, you can gamble to fun with you used very small money I mean, an amount you could afford to lose and just as we go to the beer parlor to watch football and as well take at least a bottle of beer to just watch the football, same thing is applicable. You can risk very little amount to stake on a match while you sit watching how the game plays. At this point we could calls it entertainment/fun because you staked what you can afford to lose as same time watching it live.

If gambling is only considered entertainment when you watch the game, what happens to gamblers who stake but do not watch the game despite claiming to be gambling for fun? Is this implying that they are not gambling for fun? Where is the excitement in watching a casino game? When I play casino games and watch them, I do not see anything interesting. The joy can only come from winning.

Even though you mentioned that it is best to gamble with what you can afford to lose, this does not mean that gamblers do not experience negative emotions when they lose. Every penny counts; there is always something that money can do, and when we lose, our thoughts turn to the things that money could have been used for.

Gambling has been around a long time. It can ruin lives and become addictive. If you lose more than you win, it might be a problem. Some people get very sad or worse because of it. The best way to fix this is to talk to a therapist.

You are right, this will be something that will actually enter the realm of each person's perception of gambling. Because if it is said that there are people who go bankrupt because of gambling, but there are still those who can still be fine because they already know what the risks are like so they can anticipate them very well.

But there is nothing wrong here, once again I agree with you, because this is based on the experience of each person and it must be different.

Yes, it's that each one of us in the Game as well as in any Aspect of life have experiences that we have lived, and I have Learned that with the Experience of others you learn in a logical way, and that is why these discussions are good, because we do not Know who is suffering from some type of depression, depression is a state that can lead anyone to do Something crazy, and that is what should be avoided, that is why the person who has Depression should quickly get out of that abyss, and experiences for me have a lot of weight when it comes to Learning.

Talking to a therapist can help abit but the fact is that stoping gambling addiction is really beyond talking to a therapist but it's through taking conscious efforts and steps that will be of help to the person involved because gambling is one thing that is hard to to let go off when it becomes an habits that is why I encourage people to always have restraint when it comes to gambling because when it becomes an habits it's can lead to so many things that can even put you into trouble

Any help from anyone is and should be welcome, a therapist can give a very particular point of view and offer solutions, but the crux of it all is that the person suffering from this has to have the will to do it, there is no other way, it has to be like that first, the therapist can do a lot, but if the person Suffering from depression does not listen or do their part, it is very difficult for them to do anything for them, so it is always good to do things right, have the Willpower and that every Process in favor of their Recovery is productive.

Gamble have been in existence before we are born,gamble causes low self esteem, gamble can be as addition like drugs,the moments you finds yourself staking more than your gaining it means your addiction is getting higher,i have seen so many people been disorganised by gamble,why some persons commit suicide for it which is caused by depression,the solution to it is to see a cognitive behavioural therapy.

You can only be in a depression state if you're not gambling responsibly, the aim and purpose for gambling is to foster the relationship we have for each others during leisure, hence it is best for us to have fun while gambling than to put ourself into other troubles beyond the way we could handle, i will thereby say that gambling is a depression lifter and eliminator only when we learn to gambling for the benefit of our own good.

Well, I see the angle you are talking from but I don't think it's like that, let say you are a casino player and of course there would be no joy since it's not seen as real life game, unlike sports game. In sports betting you can watch the game full time and enjoy the fun in than casinos. Though those people who stake bet without them watch games are solely gambling for the purpose of money, and these sets of people feels more bitter when they lose their money at the cause of gambling but they don't apply any fun level in it. that is why it's always important to gamble within our means maybe when there are no winning we can still bear the lost that comes out of it.

There are no other solutions to gambling than first learning how to gamble less with a small amount. Bringing out 1-3% of your weekly income will go a long way in helping a gambler not to get themselves entangled with gambling addiction.

It's when a gambler thinks gambling will bring riches, that's when they will find themselves addicted to gambling. Many of the stories we hear about people being addicted to gambling are because they find it to be a way to be rich

agree with,the moment you have that taught of becoming a millonaire through gambling it draws you into an addiction,because you will continue to bet having in mind a day is coming.

[Penlex_Writer]

A person can only be depress if he's sad after a terrible event in his life. Apparently, Gambling isn't a sad thing for a gambler, they enjoy what they are doing.

I think those who got addicted and wasn't happy anymore of the outcome are gamblers who are sad and the sadness could become a depression. These are the gamblers that wanted to stop yet can't do it which they need help.

the depression comes when you often losses money,when i mean money not 500 naira or 1000 naira,from the rate of 10,000 up ward,i have seen so many people using huge amount of money that do not belongs to them to gamble,such drives people to depression,but still i agree with your opinion.

And the problem is when someone doesn't realize that they are depressed. And I see someone too afraid to go to a psychologist to consult about this problem.

Yes, they assume that when they come to someone who is an expert they are afraid of going crazy, even though that is the best step. Because an expert can help us to be able to handle the problem.

Well according to what I have read and seen what some doctors say, sadness and depression often comes from the stomach, which for me is our first brain, from there everything comes, so given that these things are caused by different activities that happen in life , it can be said that now depression is treatable as long as the person wants to get out of that world, a world where they have no clarity and don't see things well, it's possible, but gambling is not good, because when you lose in the game and lose money, depression can increase, it has to be treated as soon as there are symptoms that are considered that the person cannot overcome.

It all starts with wanting to feel better. Sometimes, people don’t realize that things like gambling or ignoring their feelings can make everything worse. Getting help early, like talking to someone you trust or a professional, can make a big difference before things get too tough to handle. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it to take that first step.

feeling better starts by eating and filling the stomach. there is no way  person can think clearly if they are hungry. so eating will be the first thing to do to get better. that's what i'd do even when i'm not hungry  i lost a few satoshis last weekend wagering to  fight night. happens all the time, i don't think i get depress for losing but then having a coffee always feels better.

i don't think  gambler needs  psychologist when all the rest of the people surrounding them already knows what they are thinking.

Exactly and it actually can do harm than good as we all know there are majority of negative consequences that has been done by gambling than having life changing stories. I am one of those that can vouch that gambling has not help me financially with my gambling journey before I quit but instead it just slowly turning me into something dependent into it same as what others did wherein it started as an entertainment and then this urge that makes it bad for us that is why I quit.

You know that a mad person can never admited they are mad, they will always think they are right in their senses, the same analogy apply to depressed and addicted gamblers, they always think there is nothing wrong in their own way of gambling until another person close to them see their strange behaviors and tell them about it.

I don't know for other people but if I'm depressed, I don't need a soothsayer to tell me, everything about me changes. I get myself engage and get people close to me as possible but it's been ages since I got depressed last, too busy and happy to be depress at this moment.
