He warned that such addiction can lead to severe mental health problems, including anxiety and depression.

He argued that the media can play a crucial role in empowering the public and preventing addiction through informed reporting.

The meeting covered the stages of gambling addiction and its repercussions on individuals and families.

Participants called for increased awareness and education about the signs of gambling problems, reinforcing the media’s responsibility in disseminating this essential information.
