Abstract
Pathological gambling represents the end spectrum of gambling behaviors. This behavior affects the gambler's family and the most obvious consequence of gambling problems is a poor private economy. Pathological gamblers were many times more likely than the general population to report others psychiatric disorders: depression, antisocial personality disorder or history of alcohol misuse (Cunningham-Williams et al., 1998). The objective of this study was to explore whether there was a correlation between gambling and depression in a sample of 119 adults who joined the Responsible Gaming Project in Romania. The results shows that pathological gambling is associated with depression.
