The term "Problem Gambling" includes, but is not limited to, the condition known as "Pathological", or "Compulsive" Gambling, a progressive addiction characterized by increasing preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, "chasing" losses, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of mounting, serious, negative consequences.

Extractions: Pathological gambling is an illness characterized by persistent and recurrent maladaptive patterns of gambling behavior. It appears to be relatively common. Uncontrollable gambling behavior may lead to personal, family and occupational difficulties. How do I know if I suffer from pathological gambling disorder? Uncontrollable gambling may be a symptom of several problems, including other psychiatric illnesses. If you feel you are suffering from pathological gambling, you should see a psychiatrist or ask your primary physician. If you answer "yes" to 5 or more of the following questions, you may be suffering from pathological gambling disorder (questions are adapted from the American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)(4th ed.). Washington, D.C.: American Psychiatric Association; 1994): Are you preoccupied with gambling (thinking of past gambling experiences, planning the next experience, or thinking of ways to get money to gamble)?

Washington, D.C. Diagnostic Features Associated Features and Disorders Specific Culture and Gender Features Prevalence ... Differential Diagnosis Diagnostic Features The essential feature of Pathological Gambling is persistent and recurrent maladaptive gambling behavior (Criterion A) that disrupts personal, family, or vocational pursuits. The diagnosis is not made if the gambling behavior is better accounted for by a Manic Episode (Criterion B). The individual may be preoccupied with gambling (e.g., reliving past gambling experiences, planning the next gambling venture, or thinking of ways to get money with which to gamble) (Criterion Al). Most individuals with Pathological Gambling say that they are seeking "action" (an aroused, euphoric state) even more than money. Increasingly larger bets, or greater risks, may be needed to continue to produce the desired level of excitement (Criterion A2). Individuals with Pathological Gambling often continue to gamble despite repeated efforts to control, cut back, or stop the behavior (Criterion A3). There may be restlessness or irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling (Criterion A4). The individual may gamble as a way of escaping from problems or to relieve a dysphoric mood (e.g., feeling of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, depression) (Criterion A5). A pattern of "chasing" one's losses may develop, with an urgent need to keep gambling (often with larger bets or the taking of greater risks) to undo a loss or series of losses. The individual may abandon his or her gambling strategy and try to win back losses all at once. Although all gamblers may chase for short periods, it is the long-term chase that is more characteristic of individuals with Pathological Gambling (Criterion A6).

Extractions: As states have moved from merely tolerating gambling to running their own games, as communities have increasingly turned to gambling for an economic boost, important questions arise. Has the new age of gambling increased the proportion of pathological or problem gamblers in the U.S. population? Where is the threshold between "social betting" and pathology? Is there a real threat to our families, communities, and the larger society? Pathological Gambling explores America's experience of gambling, examining:

Extractions: An addiction embracing the nation G amblers no longer need to trek to Las Vegas or Atlantic City to find the action they crave. It is available today in their own hometowns. Legalized gambling is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. Gambling's tremendous popularity is evident in the recent increase in the number of off-track-betting parlors (OTBs) and riverboat casinos that dot the Midwest and the Mississippi Delta. Billboards on major highways depict the action and excitement available at such facilities. For most of the industry's patrons, gambling is fun and a form of harmless entertainment. For the four to six percent of gamblers who become problem or pathological (compulsive) gamblers, however, it can be a devastating illness that negatively affects every aspect of their lives. social gambling and pathological gambling? Gambling can be defined as playing a game of chance for stakes. Gambling occurs in many forms, most commonly pari-mutuels (horse and dog tracks, off-track-betting parlors, Jai Alai), lotteries, casinos (slot machines, table games), bookmaking (sports books and horse books), card rooms, bingo and the stock market. Pathological gambling is a progressive disease that devastates not only the gambler but everyone with whom he or she has a significant relationship. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association accepted pathological gambling as a "disorder of impulse control." It is an illness that is chronic and progressive, but it can be diagnosed and treated.

The degree to which this dual exploitation of resources will occur is highly dependent on the extent of supervision exerted on the gambler at the job site.

Extractions: PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING As the clinical director of Keystone Treatment Center, I treat over two hundred pathological gamblers a year. I am a nationally certified gambling counselor, and I have written a gambling workbook, The Treatment of Pathological Gamblers: A Step by Step Approach . This book helps gamblers learn the tools necessary to establish and maintain a program of recovery. People who need gambling treatment come into treatment financially and emotionally depleted. Most of them put every penny into their addiction. Gamblers are not bad people. Most of them have never been in trouble before. Gambling treatment is needed to bring the gambling under control. It is difficult for some people to understand problem gambling, but pathological gamblers do not have the choice to gamble, they are addicted. When pathological gamblers gamble, they are in a chemical psychoactive high. The moment the gambling is over, they slip into a chemical psychoactive low, an irritable depression they cannot tolerate. In time, their pleasure hormones become used up, and problem gamblers must gamble to feel normal. Pathological gamblers are not gambling for the money, they are gambling to feel normal. This is difficult for some individuals to understand because gambling, like drinking, seems like a decision of will. But pathological gambling is a brain disease that is chemically and genetically driven, just as addictive as crack cocaine in certain individuals. Gambling is big business in America earning the gaming industry 50.9 billion dollars in net revenue annually. Gambling is very attractive, particularly to people who need money. The Illinois Lottery did a study to see who gambles, and found people who made less than ten thousand dollars a year gamble six times more often than those who earn over fifty thousand dollars a year. People know they can win millions by risking a dollar. A recent program on the Discovery Channel stated that gambling is so attractive, that when the powerball is high, ninety percent of eligible adults buy a ticket. There is no other commodity where the percentages are this high. The real odds of winning a state lottery are approximately fourteen million to one, the same odds as being hit by lightening seven times while waiting in the lottery line.

PROBLEM AND PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING
PROBLEM AND pathological gambling. 2 National Research Council, PathologicalGambling A Critical Review, (April 1, 1999), p. Exec2.
http://www.casino-gambling-reports.com/GamblingStudy/ProblemGambling/

Extractions: Highlight matched words: No Yes PROBLEM AND PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING In its 1997 meta-analysis of literature on problem and pathological gambling prevalence, the Harvard Medical School Division on Addictions, using "past year" measures, estimated at that time that there were 7.5 million American adult problem and pathological gamblers (5.3 million problem and 2.2 million pathological). The study also estimated there were 7.9 million American adolescent problem and pathological gamblers (5.7 million problem and 2.2 million pathological). 1 The "past year" estimates of American adults who gamble is 125 million. Based on the data available to the Commission, we estimate that about 117.5 million American adult gamblers do not evidence negative consequences (125 million minus the 7.5 million estimate of adults who are either problem or pathological gamblers). Because a comparable estimate of American adolescent gamblers has not been determined, there is no reliable way to calculate the number of adolescents who gamble without negative consequences. There are several terms used to describe pathological gamblers. Clinically, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) classifies pathological gambling as an impulse control disorder and describes 10 criteria to guide diagnoses, ranging from "repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling" to committing "illegal acts such as forgery, fraud, theft or embezzlement to finance gambling."

Extractions: Overview Gambling In The United States Gambling Regulations Problem and Pathological Gambling ... Report Glossary Problem and Pathological Gambling A separate research contract was given to the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academy of Sciences for the purpose of conducting a thorough review of the available literature on problem and pathological gambling. This review covered 4,000 gambling-related references, including 1,600 specifically focused on problem or pathological gambling. Three hundred of these were empirical studies. 4 Together, the NORC and NRC reports have added substantially to the publicly available literature on the subject and provide a valuable addition to our knowledge of gambling behavior, along with a clearer picture of the effects of problem and pathological gambling on individuals and their communities. These research findings are not the last word on the subject, however, indicating that much more research is needed. The studies are included in their entirety with this Final Report and may be found on the accompanying CD-ROM. Despite the lack of basic research and consensus among scholars, the Commission is unanimous in its belief that the incidence of problem and pathological gambling is of sufficient severity to warrant immediate and enhanced attention on the part of public officials and others in the private and non-profit sectors. The Commission strongly urges those in positions of responsibility to move aggressively to reduce the occurrence of this malady in the general population and to alleviate the suffering of those afflicted.
