April 23, 2022 Dr. Nathan Smith - Kindbridge Research Institute
Dr. Nathan Smith from the Kindbridge Research Institute walks us through a gambling study done back in 1947. It was fascinating to see how relatable a study from so many years ago could still ring true in behaviors of a gambler today. We also talk about comorbidity (other health/mental conditions) and gambling addiction. Oh, and menstrual cycles, hormones and how they can affect recovery!
You can reach Dr. Nathan Smith here: [email protected]
