Description
Compulsive gambling is the obvious symptom of an emotional disorder. The emotional factors involved are: inability or unwillingness to accept reality, emotional insecurity, basic immaturity, and lack of self-esteem. When a compulsive gambler reaches the point where he or she is willing to admit to having a problem and has a desire to stop gambling, Gamblers Anonymous (Gam-Anon) can help.
