Abstract

Gambling disorder, characterized by persistent and recurrent problematic gambling behavior, poses significant challenges for affected individuals and society at large. Understanding the reactions of individuals with gambling disorder is essential for tailoring interventions and support strategies effectively. This abstract explores various types of reactions observed in individuals with gambling disorder, including emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal reactions. By synthesizing existing research findings, we aim to shed light on the diverse ways in which individuals with gambling disorder respond to their condition and its consequences, informing comprehensive approaches to prevention, treatment, and support.
