gambling is a behavior disorder in which an individual
has an uncontrollable
preoccupation and urge to gamble. This results in excessive
gambling, the outcome of which is loss of time and money.
The
gambling reaches the point at which it compromises, disrupts
or destroys the gambler's personal life, family
relationships or vocational pursuits. The key signs
are emotional dependence on gambling, loss of control
and
interference with normal functioning. |
