Yes, excessive gambling can indeed lead to severe problems, including financial burdens and emotional distress, which can ultimately increase the risk of suicidal thoughts. Problem gambling is recognized as a behavioral addiction, and like other addictive disorders, it can have significant psychological and social consequences.

When individuals engage in excessive gambling, they may experience a range of negative emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety, particularly when dealing with mounting debts. These emotions, coupled with the desperation to recover losses and the inability to control their gambling behavior, can contribute to a sense of hopelessness and despair, ultimately leading to thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

It is important to note that not all individuals who experience gambling-related problems will develop suicidal thoughts or exhibit suicidal behavior. However, research indicates that problem gambling significantly increases the risk of suicide ideation and attempts compared to the general population.

Given the serious ramifications of problem gambling, it is crucial to address the issue promptly and provide support to those who are struggling. Treatment options, such as counseling, therapy, and support groups, can help individuals regain control over their gambling behavior and work through the underlying psychological factors contributing to their addiction.

Absolutely, you are correct in emphasizing the significant role that financial burden plays in the detrimental effects of excessive gambling. Financial strain resulting from gambling losses can lead to a cascade of negative consequences, including emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of hopelessness. The pressure of dealing with mounting debts can be overwhelming and can significantly impact an individual's mental health and well-being.

Furthermore, the intertwining of financial difficulties with the emotional toll of problem gambling can create a vicious cycle where individuals may feel trapped and see no way out. This sense of helplessness and despair can exacerbate suicidal ideation and increase the risk of self-harm.

Recognizing the interconnected nature of financial struggles and emotional distress in problem gambling is crucial for understanding the complexity of the issue and providing comprehensive support to those affected. Addressing both the financial and emotional aspects of problem gambling through interventions such as financial counseling, therapy, and support services can help individuals navigate these challenges and work towards recovery and a healthier relationship with gambling.

Gambling leads to addiction and a plethora of other mental health issues. These mental health issues like guilt, shame and anger could overwhelm a gambler so much that they develop suicidal thoughts and tendencies. It gets worse when the gambler loses an excess amount of money or loses friends and family due to this behaviour.
