The prevention and treatment of ludomania were also discussed with the students, which include: raising awareness of the risks of gambling; support from loved ones; professional assistance (psychotherapy, support groups). Recommendations on preventing the occurrence of gambling addiction in children were discussed, where each student expressed his opinion from different positions: primary school teachers, educational psychologists, parents
Ludomania is not just a weakness, but a serious addiction that destroys a person’s life gradually. Understanding the problem is the first step to solving it.
