Ludomania
or ludopathy is not a religion, but it sure control a lot of people's behaviour
just the same, and have done it thoughtout the known man's history.
It is repetitive gambling behaviour despite the harm and negative consequences.
Problem gambling may be diagnosed as a mental disorder according to DSM-5 if
certain diagnostic criteria are met. Pathological gambling is a common disorder
associated with social and family costs.
The DSM-5 has re-classified the condition as an addictive disorder, with
those affected exhibiting many similarities to those with substance addictions.
The term gambling addiction has long been used in the recovery movement.
It let people make irrational
decisions in order to obtain to obtains an outcome they don't need, regardless
the consequences. It might start with a harmless game of Ludo with the kids and
end with Russian roulette.
The history is filled with a long
line of undesirable decisions, made by rather prominent people. It seems like
for instant Pappa Legba from Voodoo have the full idea.
