Impacts
The impacts of pathological gambling are complex and interconnected, ranging
from financial and legal to medical and psychological. Spectrum was asked to
look into Impacts on the Individual and Impact on the Family.

The reality is that impacts on the individual do not occur without impacts on the
family, the workplace and society as a whole. Many of the same impacts that
society sees on the individual, it also sees on others, especially loved ones.
