gambling disorder
Compulsive wagering condition
Gambling disorder is a psychiatric condition marked by persistent, problematic gambling that causes significant distress or impairment.
The person cannot control their gambling despite negative consequences—financial ruin, damaged relationships, lost jobs.
Unlike casual gambling, the disorder involves preoccupation with betting, needing to wager increasing amounts, and failed attempts to stop.
