19: Addicted!

Why are we facing a gambling - and now gaming - addiction crisis? Vicki and Geraldine talk to Professor Henrietta Bowden-Jones, founder of the first NHS gambling disorders clinic and also the first NHS gaming disorders clinic. Talking points: Are there links between gambling and gaming? How come we don’t know how big a problem we’ve got? Gaming: a gateway to problem gambling? What does gaming disorder look like? A personal problem, affecting a minority of ‘vulnerable’ people? Or a public health issue?
