Nearly 90% of Floridians have participated in some form of gambling. For most people, the activity of gambling is an occasional recreational pursuit and does not cause a problem. It is for some, however, a debilitating compulsion affecting every area of their lives. Pathological gambling, commonly referred to as compulsive gambling, is a progressive behavior disorder in which a person has a psychological uncontrollable preoccupation and urge to gamble. This results in excessive gambling, the outcome of which is the loss of time and money. The gambling reaches the point where it compromises, disrupts and destroys the gambler's personal life, family relationships or vocational pursuits. These problems lead to the intensification of the gambling behavior. Very often compulsive gambling is referred to as the "hidden illness" because there are no physical or visual symptoms. There is no "telltale" smell on the breath, no stumbling when walking or slurring of speech. Yet, the effects of compulsive gambling can be as devastating as alcohol and drug addiction and can result in both financial and personal destruction. Since 1980, the American Psychological Association has classified pathological, or compulsive gambling, as a mental health disorder of impulse control. The illness is both diagnosable and treatable. For an individual to be diagnosed as a pathological gambler, s/he must have five or more of 10 criteria. In prevalence studies, individuals with three or four of the following criteria are considered "problem" gamblers and those with one or two are classified as "at-risk."

33. Gamblers Anonymous: Q And A Does Gamblers Anonymous look upon compulsive gambling as a vice? When acompulsive gambler enters Gamblers Anonymous and quits gambling, http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/qna.html

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF COMPULSIVE GAMBLING AND THE G.A. RECOVERY PROGRAM What is compulsive gambling? The explanation that seems most acceptable to Gamblers Anonymous members is that compulsive gambling is an illness, progressive in its nature, which can never be cured, but can be arrested. Before coming to Gamblers Anonymous, many compulsive gamblers thought of themselves as morally weak, or at times just plain 'no good'. The Gamblers Anonymous concept is that compulsive gamblers are really very sick people who can recover if they will follow to the best of their ability a simple program that has proved successful for thousands of other men and women with a gambling or compulsive gambling problem. What is the first thing a compulsive gambler ought to do in order to stop gambling? The compulsive gambler needs to be willing to accept the fact that he or she is in the grip of a progressive illness and has a desire to get well. Our experience has shown that the Gamblers Anonymous program will always work for any person who has a desire to stop gambling. However, it will never work for the person who will not face squarely the facts about this illness. How can you tell whether you are a compulsive gambler?

The essential feature of compulsive gambling is the chronic and progressive failure to resist impulses to gamble. It persistently disrupts personal, family, or vocational pursuits. Compulsive gamblers are preoccupied with gambling; they consider gambling to be a source of action and excitement, not just money. Unfortunately, increasingly larger bets are usually needed to maintain the level of excitement. Some compulsive gamblers eventually turn to illegal means of obtaining funds, including bad checks, fraudulent insurance claims or embezzlement. Are you a compulsive gambler? Most compulsive gamblers will answer "yes" to at least seven of the following questions (prepared by Gamblers Anonymous): Do you lose time from work due to gambling?

Contact Us Front Page Health Compulsive Gambling, Sex Linked to Parkinson's Drugs Stefan Lovgren for National Geographic News July 12, 2005 Scientists at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, have found that certain drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease can cause patients to become addicted to gambling. The drugs, called dopamine agonists, also have been found to boost patients' appetites for sex, food, and alcohol. "This is a striking effect," said J. Eric Ahlskog, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic. "Pathological gambling induced by a drug is really quite unusual." In one case, a 54-year-old married pastor gambled daily at the local casino, hiding his losses from his wife. In another, a 41-year-old computer programmer who had never gambled in his life became "consumed" with Internet gambling. In a third, a 68-year-old man with no history of gambling lost more than U.S. $200,000 at casinos over a six-month period.
