Gambling can cause a person to experience a rollercoaster of emotions. They may experience highs when they win, and these may be accompanied by feelings of euphoria and excitement. But when they lose, they may experience feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger.
This cycle of emotions can be very damaging to a person's mental health and can lead to emotional instability. The person may have difficulty regulating their emotions and may find it difficult to cope with everyday life.
