What Percentage of the People Are Healthy?
Question by stc: What percentage of the people are healthy?
It is odd. I ask this half seriously, half not seriously….After you take away people who are drug addicted, have eating disorders, gambling problems, psychological disorders and physical challenges, addiction to online stuff. Attention deficent. All that is left are people who work hard at being physically fit. It’s odd.
There probably are a large chunk of people who are reasonably healthy in the world, but, it is weird to think about them. Whatever they do — why don’t we copy them? Professional athletes? Doctors? Healthy lawyers? It would be weird if the world were reduced down to primarily healthy people. What would they do? Not a lot of business for health carers and lawyers if everybody’s healthy. I’m just idle tonight so I fiddle with these thoughts.

There’s also a link between gambling and alcohol abuse. Many gambling addicts are also addicted to alcohol. Rates of depression and attempted suicide among gambling addicts are around double the national average. Gambling addicts are also more likely to go to prison as a result of criminal activity. This is almost entirely theft and fraud. There’s evidence that gambling can be successfully treated in the same way as other addictions. Cognitive behavioural therapy usually has the best results. Specialised addiction services that focus mainly on substance misuse often also treat gambling problems. They use the same techniques to treat gambling addictions that they use to treat substance misuse. “We should be regulating advertisements and educating punters of the risks of compulsive gambling.
