Compulsive Gambling This purpose of this web page is to provide general information on issues related to gambling, but is not meant to replace consultation with a mental health professional. If you are concerned about compulsive gambling in your own life, or that of another, please feel free to contact the FSAP office to set up an appointment. What is compulsive gambling? For most people, gambling is fun and exciting, but simply a form of entertainment. For others, gambling becomes an addiction known as compulsive gambling. For the compulsive gambler, the urge to gamble tends to grow stronger over time, while the negative results of the gambling grow worse. Once addicted, the compulsive gambler will risk finances, health, home, and family in order to keep gambling. Compulsive gambling has been called the "hidden addiction" because even though gambling can be psychologically devastating, there are no obvious physical signs of addiction. Many gamblers need help in recognizing the signs of compulsive gambling. Often the spouse, friends and employer of the compulsive gambler recognize the problems and seek help before the gambler does. How can you tell if someone has a gambling problem?

After losing thousands of dollars playing slot machines near his California home several times a day for nearly two years, Neglia stumbled across an Internet report linking a popular Parkinson's drug he used with compulsive gambling. "I thought, 'Oh my God, this must be it,' " he said. Three days after stopping the drug, Mirapex, "all desire to gamble just went away completely. I felt like I had my brain back." advertisement OAS_AD('BoxAd') A Mayo Clinic study published Monday in July's Archives of Neurology describes 11 other Parkinson's patients who developed the unusual problem while taking Mirapex or similar drugs between 2002 and 2004. Doctors have since identified 14 additional Mayo patients with the problem, said lead author Dr. M. Leann Dodd, a Mayo psychiatrist. "It's certainly enough for us to be cautious as we are using it," Dodd said. "We wouldn't want them to have some kind of financial ruin or difficulties that could be prevented."

Gambling has become increasingly pervasive in our society and widely endorsed as a fun and exciting form of entertainment. But for some people, it has serious social, financial, interpersonal, and emotional costs”and can even lead to significant health problems. Alex never thought he would find himself in a Gamblers Anonymous meeting, tearfully discussing the tragic circumstances of his present life. In the past six months, the handsome 44-year-old had lost his job, his marriage, his two young children, and some good friends. He developed high blood pressure and stomach problems, and started having thoughts of suicide. Lost in a whirlwind of wagering, financial bailouts, lies, and family and job disruption, Alex watched his world crumble as his gambling spun out of control. Gambling is betting or wagering for personal benefit or the benefit of others. It depends on chance or skill and may or may not involve money.

Richard Pitts" came to our hospital with little hope that anything short of suicide could end his psychological pain. What had begun as a modest habit of racetrack betting at age 15 had become a nightmare of debt and desperation by age 27. Pitts had lost $1,400 borrowed from a finance company, could not pay his monthly living expenses and was falling short of repayments for his existing $12,000 gambling debt. He felt compelled to gamble daily (a fact he had tried to keep from his wife) and did so recklessly because he was also drinking heavily. He had been torn between "borrowing" money from petty cash at his office, which of course he would return, and killing himself.
