The behaviour of gambling in and of itself is just that; a behaviour. It is neither good nor bad, it just exists. Where it can go, how it can impact, and the influence it has on people is where it starts to become problematic. Gambling Addiction, though not everyone agrees with this, is a chronic condition with many symptoms connected to it. A disease, by definition, is a disorder of structure and function. Gambling impacts the structure and function of the brain and is driven by a brain that has impaired structure and function. This suggests that Gambling Addiction does fit the definition of disease.
