Adult ADD and gambling: is there a connection?


My husband has had Attention Deficit Disorder all his life and is developing a gambling problem. Is anyone out there aware of a connection between the two? Also, he never finishes projects that he starts (I end up doing them) and is showing signs of serious depression lately. He is a recovering alcoholic addict, and I am very worried about him because his work takes him away for weeks at a time. I would like to hear from anyone with similar experiences. Thanks...

Best answer? Pleease?

There's likely a connection if he's playing 3 or 4 slot machines simultaneously.

I don't think he could play poker with ADD.

I have ADD and Bipolar. No addictions though. If he is an addict then the connection would be to his drinking not the ADD.

his replaceing one add. for another he was better off with frist one believe me i know aii about being a gambholic

I think so. At least that's what I like to blame it on. I have Adult ADD and I like to gamble. So there's the connection for me.
