Are There Any Natural Remedies That Help Break a Gambling Addiction?

Question by Contemplative Chanteuse IDK TIRH: Are there any natural remedies that help break a gambling addiction?
[rewrite]I recently found out a family member struggles with this. He’s going to gambler’s anonymous, but he’s still having lots of set backs. I don’t know if there’s any depression or bipolar disorder on his side of the family, but I’ve read that this sort of addiction can be chemical, something to do with norepinephrine.

This is not just a bad habit. It’s an addiction. He trembles when he talks about it. He and his family are low income, no insurance. It’s mostly lottery-type gambling.

Abilify and Zoloft, Bipolar?

Question by asad k: Abilify and zoloft, bipolar?
[rewrite]is this combo for bipolar patients?
[/rewrite]

Best answer:
[rewrite]

Answer by Scott K
maybe. zoloft is an antidepressant. abilify is an adjunct for people who aren’t responding completely to an antidepressant.

Answer by ransomher
No! Antidepressants should never be prescribed for bipolar patients. Some studies show that antidepressants don’t help or hurt people who suffer from bipolar. However, it’s been my experience that antidepressants actually hurt (mess with your brain chemistry) bipolar patients.
