Another out-of-studio episode in which we gather with former guests and new friends to review the first conference in Illinois aimed at understanding the prevalence and impact of problem gambling in the LatinX community.  We were joined by 7 mental health professionals throughout the show to discuss everything from:

-         How the similarity of OCD and gambling disorder affects the brain (03:08)

-         That nearly 1.1 million residents of IL are suffering from disordered gambling or are at high risk to developing a gambling disorder (10:40)

-         What it means to “Feed the Pig” (26:10)

-         Understanding that the propensity to gamble has so much power over the brain that you can literally teach a rat to gamble (28:40)

 

Guests joining the program (in order) include: Dr. Teresa Garate, Jim Wilkerson, Calvin Miller, Elizabeth Thielan, Dr. Celeste Napier, Dr. Mauricio Cifuentes and Bill Johnson.
