The first stage of therapy involves diagnostics aimed at understanding the problem and analyzing the degree of its development. Doctors and therapists talk to patients to determine if they have a problem with gambling and computer games. This stage helps to determine the degree of addiction and the reasons that prompted the person to gamble.
The basis of gambling addiction treatment is psychotherapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective methods. Through CBT, the patient learns to recognize and change negative thoughts and behaviors related to gambling.
Some patients may require medication, especially if they have a co-occurring mental health disorder such as depression or anxiety.
