Reflection: Chapter 3 Mastery test 3-Gambling

             What i know about gambling is that it can be very addictive. I know that African Americans and Native Americans have a higher percentage of gambling addiction compared to other ethnicity's and men have a higher rate than females.
            I would like to know is: what do people feel when they gamble? Are there any physical signs of gambling as far as health is concerned? What are the signs to tell if someone you know is addicted to gambling and what can be done to help.
             After reading I learned there are health problems associated with gambling like cardiovascular problems and they are also at a higher risk of committing suicide. Studies have showed that when gambling, those who are addicted get a "high" similar to drug abusers.
              I would like to know how can I help someone with a gambling problem, and is gambling like drug addiction as far as cravings, withdrawal symptoms and relapses.
