Do I Have a Gambling Addiction?

There are clear differences between gambling and being addicted to gambling. However, it isn’t always so clear to the afflicted individual that they have a problem. That said, the following signify a possible gambling addiction:

  • The individual is constantly thinking about gambling: reflecting on past bets and planning for future gambles
  • They experience emotions like irritability or restlessness when they attempt to stop.
  • They risk their job, relationships, and more, in addition to money they put on the table.
  • The individual lies to others about where, when, and how much they’re gambling.
  • They continue to gamble even when it causes financial trouble
  • The individual tries to win their money back by gambling more
  • They gamble to cope with anxiety, depression, and other difficult feelings

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), diagnosis requires that an individual presents at least four of the above for one year or longer. That said, if any of these symptoms sound all too familiar, you could be headed down a dark path. A counselor at Thriveworks Bethlehem can help you manage the symptoms you’re experiencing and stop these harmful patterns—whether you meet the criteria for diagnosis or you’re just beginning to present problematic behaviors and want to stop them in their tracks.
