Gambling and Internet Gaming Addictions

Then Gambling and gaming problems can start at any point in a person’s life. There are three problem gambler types. Those who are behaviorally conditioned, where a recreation turned into a problem. Those who are emotionally vulnerable due to an adverse childhood or other experience, thereby using gambling to stop an emotional pain. Third, those who are antisocial, ADHD, or impulsive.

Gambling has been shown to change dopamine levels. Dopamine is the reward neurotransmitter that is elevated while playing. Once dopamine goes up, then it gets replenished and needs more stimulation to get return the reward. Other pathways can also be affected, such as serotonin levels that effect mood and sleep.
