The connection between gambling and mental health is important, according to GambleAware

For doctors and gambling support groups, the connection between gambling as well as mental health is important, according to GambleAware, which released the findings of recent study. Data from the GambleAware Annual GB Treatment and Support Surve were used in this analysis by Alma Economics, however the charity did highlight that these numbers "are likely to be a higher estimate of recurrence in Great Britain." According to research, 47% of those who suffer the worst effects of gambling are likely to possess a severe mental health issue, such as depression, as opposed to 16% of nongamblers.
