need cognitive behavior therapy with deaddiction counseling

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

In current era different types of online addiction are increasing. Online casino/gaming is one of them. It is not simply a habit but it is more than that. It causes many changes in brain functionary circuit.

To quit this like that of drug deaddiction one needs treatment.

Deaddiction counseling with cognitive behavior therapy can treat this. You need to consult psychiatrist for that personally. If needed medicines to control withdrawals as well as to control ruminations about online casino can also be given.

You can come out of this. I do not know any psychiatrist in sangrur. You can ask your family doctor or search online if any psychiatrist available in nearby city.
