Gambling addiction is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects individuals worldwide. Bangladesh, like many countries, has witnessed the impact of addiction on people and their families.
The Reward System
The psychology of gambling addiction is closely tied to the brain’s reward system. When individuals engage in such activities, their brains release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. The anticipation of winning and the occasional reinforcement of small wins reinforce the brain’s reward system, creating a powerful psychological response that motivates individuals to continue gambling.
