Investing.com - A famous Scottish rehab clinic is now treating patients addicted to trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Castle Craig Hospital says addiction to cryptocurrency trading is a behavioral problem similar to that of day trading or gambling. It provides excitement and an escape from reality, but can lead to financial disaster.
The hospital says people become hooked by the "high" they experience in making a winning trade.
Castle Craig says cryptocurrency addiction is more common in men, young adults and teens.
The hospital, which has treated some 10,000 patients in its 30-year history, says it has received inquiries from around the world.
