Internet Gaming Disorder

Internet gaming disorder, while not listed in the DSM as an official disorder, appears in the section listing conditions requiring further study. Video games, including multiplayer games played over the Internet, have become wildly popular across the world (Kuss, Griffiths, & Pontes, 2017). For a minority of people, playing such games can take on a pathological quality, affecting their well-being and occupational and social lives. Criteria for Internet gaming disorder include persistent engagement and preoccupation with gaming, tolerance, withdrawal, loss of interest in other activities, and clinically significant impairment or distress (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Research to define and study Internet gaming disorder is well underway, along with substantial differences of opinion in the field as to whether it is even a true mental disorder (Kuss et al., 2017; Petry et al., 2018). Nevertheless, the World Health Organization announced in 2018 that it would include it, as "gaming disorder," in the addictive disorders section of the ICD-11, the newest edition of the international classification system used worldwide (WHO, 2018).

2. If your article has a research study, what were the hypothesis? What did the study consist of and who participated (this would be your methods section). What were the results? What are the implications for future research? For a non-research article, what where the major findings or points that the author(s) presented? (2-3 paragraphs)

3. What are your thoughts/opinion about the article and overall, about Internet Gaming Disorder? Do you agree with the authors? Do you believe this should be a disorder? Provide a thoughtful/meaningful reflection and critique(2 paragraphs)
