Gambling


 


Last week released movie ‘JANNAT” has shown GAMBLING as a main theme. In this blog we will try to see GAMBLING as a psychiatric disease, how it is defined in psychiatric books.


 


What is Gambling?


 


According to International classification of Mental disorder, this disorder consists of frequent, repeated episodes of gambling which dominate the individual’s life to the detriment of social, occupational, material, and family values and commitments.


 


Which are the symptoms of gambling?


 


1. Those who suffer from this disorder may put their jobs at risk, acquire large debts, and lie or break the law to obtain money or evade payment of debts.


 


2. They describe an intense urge to gamble, which is difficult to control, together with preoccupation with ideas and images of the act of gambling and the circumstances that surround the act. These preoccupations and urges increase at times when life is stressful.


 


Thanks.
