A recent study has shed light on the surprising link between gambling and mental health. Researchers found that individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions are more susceptible to developing gambling problems as a coping mechanism. The study highlights the need for increased awareness and support for individuals struggling with mental health issues who may be at risk of developing gambling-related disorders. Mental health professionals and gambling operators can work together to identify and assist those who may be vulnerable, promoting responsible gambling practices and providing appropriate support networks.
