National statistics show that 1 in 5 compulsive gamblers will attempt suicide.

A compulsive gambler will do anything to stay in action even if it means neglecting family, missing work or depleting savings accounts. Often times a compulsive gambler will resort to illegal activities to finance their gambling addiction (fraud, larceny and embezzlement are a few examples). This type of behavior can cause irreparable damage if not addressed as soon as possible.

Further, compulsive gamblers have a strong tendency to attempt suicide as they feel there is no way to change their behavior and correct the harm that has been done. National statistics show that 1 in 5 compulsive gamblers will attempt suicide. This is the highest rate of suicide among addictive disorders.
