- Description
- Professor Phil Seager from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, on delusions related to current affairs following two cases linked to the National Lottery. A man who committed suicide thinking he’d missed out on a two million pound National Lottery payout had only lost twenty-seven pounds. And two women were treated at a hospital in Harrow for a rare mental illness dubbed Lottomania when they became convinced they’d won millions in the Lottery. Gambling is also a concern. Interviewer not identified.
