Is Gambling Affecting Your Health?

If you think gambling might be affecting your health, take this simple test by answering the following questions as truthfully as you can:

1. Sometimes I've felt depressed or anxious after a session of gambling.
2. Sometimes I've felt guilty about the way I gamble.
3. When I think about it, gambling has sometimes caused me problems.
4. Sometimes I've found it better not to tell others, especially my family, about the amount of time or money I spend gambling.
5. I often find that when I stop gambling I’ve run out of money.
6. Often I get the urge to return to gambling to win back losses from a past session.
7. Yes, I have received criticism about my gambling in the past.
8. Yes, I have tried to win money to pay debts
