Manx addiction charity responds to UK report
A Manx charity says stigma around addiction may be holding women back from coming forward for help with gambling disorders.
A new study in the UK has found women seeking treatment has doubled in the past five years with around one million said to be at risk of harm.
Here on the Isle of Man around one third of the people Motiv8 supports for gambling disorders are women.
