In different forms and expressions, this addiction occurs in people of any gender and age. Teenagers are especially susceptible to it. This condition can be treated, but it is difficult to eliminate, as overcoming a pathological craving is not easy.
This pathological phenomenon has been officially recognized as a disease alongside alcoholism and drug addiction. Despite the fact that it does not cause severe physical consequences, due to a strong commitment to games, over time there is a destruction of personality and loss of any interest in life. Treatment of gambling addiction in Kyiv should be carried out only in specialized institutions. Professional therapy is always individual and developed for a specific patient.
Why does gambling addiction occur
Such a captivating and initially unnoticeable, rarely diagnosed in time habit arises due to the following factors:
Feeling of loneliness. It is characteristic of people with a melancholic temperament. With the help of gambling, such people compensate for the lack of the happiness hormone – endorphin – in their body. Its production is stimulated by the excited state, tension that a person experiences during the game.
Predisposition to addictions. This often happens in single-parent families, or where one of the parents or other adults suffers from a harmful addiction, for example, to drugs or alcohol. This phenomenon is also characteristic of emotionally immature people who are prone to infantilism.
Impulsivity, tendency to creativity and artistry. Such people need thrills that simply cannot be obtained in ordinary, everyday life. It is these people who often fall into a strong addiction, and then find it very difficult to get out of it.
Unstable financial situation, unstable income. A person who does not have a permanent income but gets by with large infrequent earnings thinks that soon he will easily and quickly be able to cover the missing amount. Addiction to games is also characteristic of people with high income who are used to always having enough money.
