Gambling Disorder
Gambling Disorder is a behavioral addiction characterized by an uncontrollable urge to gamble despite negative consequences. Individuals with this condition often experience financial problems, relationship issues, and emotional distress due to their gambling habits. It can affect anyone, regardless of age or background, and may lead to significant life disruptions.
Treatment options for Gambling Disorder include therapy, support groups, and sometimes medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used to help individuals change their gambling behaviors and thought patterns. Organizations like the National Council on Problem Gambling provide resources and support for those affected by this disorder.
