Ludomania is classified as a mental disorder and a very real illness. I've seen it's effects along the effects of other addictions and my two cents is that it can be more devastating to people surrounding the addict than others. Misery is misery regardless of the disorder, addiction or illness, we don't need to have a competition between it. But it is very important to underline that gambling is not only increasingly legal but increasingly deregulated too.
