In gambling addiction (addiction to gambling for money) work must be done with thought, but a pill cannot change that. Therefore, psychotherapy is most effective in the fight against addiction, says AI Bekhtereva Vadim Gagin at the Institute of the Human Brain.
Group psychotherapy is most effective in the treatment of gambling addiction: this is due to the feeling of getting support from other addicts.
“Because the same addicted people are sitting in front of the patient. For example, she can cope more successfully than him. This is an important moment for one to recognize one’s own dependency, support, and transfer of experience in front of others. All addictions are best treated in group psychotherapy, ”explained Gagin socialbites.ca.
The psychiatrist noted that help can be beneficial not only for the addict, but also for his relatives. It can be obtained from special support groups for relatives: they teach how to understand a loved one who begins to gamble or deposit money at events, how to respond to one or the other of his actions.
