http://www.ccpg.org/compulsive.asp

Extractions: Definition of Terms The terms "problem" and "disordered" gambling are encompassing terms which refer to the full range of gambling problems, from mild to severe. The terms "compulsive", "pathological" and "addictive" gambling all refer to a serious mental disorder characterized by out of control gambling resulting in severe negative personal, family, financial, work and/or legal consequences. SOME IMPORTANT FACTS: The compulsive gambler may be a person of either gender, of any age and from any social, ethnic and economic group. Compulsive gamblers wager on any form of legal and/or illegal gambling, including the area of business and the financial markets. High school and college students have a higher rate of compulsive gambling than the general adult population. An individual who has had a problem with any substance is at a higher risk for developing a gambling problem. The compulsive gambler is often more difficult to identify than the substance abuser. People with serious mental/emotional disorders (especially depression) have a higher risk for compulsive gambling. Compulsive gamblers usually deny they have a problem and wait until the situation is desperate before seeking help. Family members are encouraged to seek assistance for themselves and consultation concerning how to increase the likelihood the compulsive gambler will seek help.

Extractions: (April 20, 2005) In recent years, as the number of casinos, lotteries, and other gambling venues have increased in the United States, so has the problem of compulsive gambling. Most gamblers are able to stay within reasonable limits in the amounts they gamble. But compulsive gamblers tend to lose control and cannot stop gambling even when they continue to lose. This often leads to severe financial problems, along with personal, family, and job-related difficulties. The number of people affected by this problem is significant; it has been estimated that up to 3 percent of the adult population may gamble compulsively. Compulsive gamblers often say they are looking for "action," an excited or euphoric state comparable to the "high" of drug abuse. They often use gambling as a way of escaping from problems in daily life or from feelings of depression or anxiety. Until recently, there have not been empirically tested, effective gambling treatment methods for compulsive gamblers. Individuals and families, when faced with persistent gambling problems and financial crisis, remained helpless.

Brain scans show differences in the brain reactions of compulsive gamblers and regular people to gambling. Compared with the controls, the pathological gamblers showed a lower level of activity in the ventral striatum, the dopamine-producing brain region that provides the pleasure in winning, suggesting gamblers remain unsatisfied even when winning. The scans also showed decreased activation of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex the brain's "superego," which keeps people from acting impulsively. Mick Jagger would understand. Gamblers "just can't get no satisfaction". I'm trying to picture the logistics of a guy gambling while in an MRI machine. In the study, the brains of 12 compulsive gamblers and 12 non-gamblers were monitored using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while they played a simple card guessing game. If dopamine levels could be boosted in the brains of compulsive gamblers they might not feel as great a need to gamble. However, another group found in results they published in May 2004 that

Help For Compulsive Gamblers
Article about Gamblers Anonymous and how they can help compulsive gamblers.
http://www.winneronline.com/articles/october1999/gamblersanonymous.htm

Extractions: Gamblers Anonymous is a worldwide association of people who share the problem of compulsive gambling and work together to solve it. The focus of GA is to help its members stop gambling. GA describes compulsive gambling as "an illness, progressive in its nature, which can never be cured, but can be arrested." GA characterizes the typical compulsive gambler as someone who is emotionally insecure and unable to see the real world. They gamble to feel in control of their lives and to feel accepted by a group of people. Another common reason these people gamble is to be financially independent without having to work for it. They "are 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." The GA program was started in 1957 by two friends who decided they had to help themselves overcome the problems in their lives caused by gambling. They decided that the key points were to admit they had a problem and needed help and to make permanent changes in their characters.
