Abstract
|
|
Introduction: Gambling addiction and its associated problems, often go unrecognized and unaddressed in most health care settings, with resultant adverse consequences to the individual, family and society. Case Report: Here we present a patient's own account of his gambling addiction. Conclusion: Through this report, we aim to raise non-specialists' awareness of gambling addiction, and also hope to equip them with basic knowledge in the screening, assessment and treatment of gambling addiction. | |
