Abstract

Pathological gambling is a disorder that has a great impact on society, responsible for social, financial and emotional harm to individuals. Such a disorder can be defined as the recurrent behavior of betting on games of chance, despite the negative consequences, where the patient loses control of the time and money spent.

In the soap opera "A Força do Quer", aired by Rede Globo at 9 pm, the character Silvana, played by actress Lília Cabral, suffers the consequences of the Pathological Game, often putting herself in high-risk situations due to her addiction .
