The gambling addiction problem, one which is present worldwide and at all social levels, is one of the most pervasive problems in contemporary society. According to the research literature, gambling addiction is determined by other psychiatric disorders. In the present study, we investigate the degree to which gambling can be predicted by depression and anxiety in a Romanian sample. The study has been conducted on a sample of 920 persons in the general population. Results show that depression predicts gambling in proportion of 26.3 percent, while anxiety predicts 31.5 percent of gambling variance. In the discussion portion of the study, we provide a psyhological interpretation of the results.
