Gambling addiction, or gambling disorder, is a significant issue in Singapore, affecting individuals and families deeply. At Addictions Recovery Singapore, we provide compassionate, tailored support to help individuals break free from the cycle of compulsive gambling and rebuild their lives.
What is Gambling Addiction?
Gambling addiction is a behavioral disorder marked by an uncontrollable urge to gamble, even when it causes harm. Common symptoms include:
• Constant preoccupation with gambling.
• Betting larger amounts to achieve the same thrill.
• Difficulty stopping or reducing gambling, despite negative consequences.
• Chasing losses by gambling more.
• Concealing gambling behavior from loved ones.
• Facing significant financial, relational, or professional setbacks.
The Far-Reaching Impact of Gambling Addiction
The effects of gambling addiction extend beyond financial problems, affecting mental health, relationships, and overall well-being:
• Emotional distress: Anxiety, depression, and feelings of guilt or shame often accompany gambling problems.
• Family conflicts: Strained relationships, loss of trust, and even family breakdowns are common.
• Financial instability: Mounting debts and financial insecurity can spiral out of control.
• Legal troubles: Some may resort to illegal activities to fund their gambling habits.
