What is Compulsive Gambling?
Compulsive gambling, also known as gambling disorder, is a behavioral addiction characterized by the inability to resist the urge to gamble, even when it results in significant harm to one’s life. People with this disorder often experience financial problems, relationship difficulties, and emotional distress due to their inability to control their gambling habits.
Treatment for compulsive gambling may involve behavioral therapy, support groups, and sometimes medication to help individuals regain control over their behavior and prevent further harm.
