Gambling addiction, or ludomania, affects millions globally. It involves an uncontrollable urge to gamble despite negative consequences, driven by the brain's reward system, cognitive distortions, and emotional triggers. Social and environmental factors also play a role.

Consequences include financial issues, damaged relationships, and mental health problems. Effective treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help individuals recover.

If you or someone you know struggles with gambling addiction, seek professional help. Recovery is possible. #GamblingAddiction #MentalHealth #Recovery
