Sadly, many do not get ahead of something  because they don’t know where to find help, or someone who to support.  Or worse, they don’t know they have an addiction that’s diagnosable. Not all dont know that there are other people dealing with the same problems every day. Because there’s no study has been proven what causes this Gambling disorder. 

From the article that I've read, What is Gambling Disorder? by Elizabeth Hartney. Gambling Disorder is a recent behavioral addiction diagnosis included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
