Compulsive Gambling
Many people enjoy gambling, whether it's betting on a horse or playing poker on the Internet. Most people who gamble don't have a problem, but some lose control of their gambling. Signs of problem gambling include
• Always thinking about gambling
• Lying about gambling
• Spending work or family time gambling
• Feeling bad after you gamble, but not quitting
• Gambling with money you need for other things
If you have concerns about your gambling, ask for help. Your health care provider can work with you to find the treatment that's best for you. (NIH: Natonal Institutes of Health)
