Gambling is the addiction with the highest suicide rate. Ironically, it isn't even a substance, however it is just as addicting as any other substance. It is a compulsion which can cause someone to lose all of their belongings and put them into a place of hopelessness and despair, which leads to suicide in those who cannot see it through nor seek help for their problems.

Generally speaking suicide's main factor is untreated depression. As far as what can lead most to depression is substance abuse. In may cases, the same drug being abused is often the method of suicide. As an example, a depressed person does not seek medical help; they may abuse drugs to ease their depression. At times alcohol mixed with the abusive drug causes the death by suicide. Yes, alcohol is also a drug. There is no direct evidence linking a gambling addiction to suicide. There is no evidence that a gambling addiction is the No. 1 cause of suicide.
