for a person to have a gambling addiction is is the sin quanon of that that they basically must be financially creating chaos in their lives or as long as they're you know you know if a person loses a million dollars a year in gambling but they make 10x that and it's not actually impacting their life in other ways is you know how do you sort of far it out whether or not this is this is pathologic yeah great question and I would say when you think about the for foresees control compulsion craving and consequences plus tolerance and withdrawal um none of those is a scen quanon and in fact you can have no tolerance and no withdrawal and still meet criteria for an addiction um just little footnote there people can actually have physical withdrawal from behavioral addictions like gambling where they have headache nausea vomiting insomnia
