The Psychology of Gambling Addiction | Documentary

Hello Brainpsychlopedia community!
This week we dive into the core psychological, behavioural, cognitive and neural underpinnings of the impaired decision making processes observed in persistent gambling in the face of losses. Such persistent gambling despite losses often give rise to loss-chasing, which can in turn cause severe negative consequences in other facets of life.
