Gaming disorder is a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming, which can manifest through impaired control over the urge to play video games, increased priority given to video games to the extent that it takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities, and continuation— or escalation— of gaming despite the negative consequences[1].
Over the years, there has been much debate in the medical community as to whether addictive gaming behaviors should be classified as a disorder. Within the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013, "Internet Gaming Disorder" is a "condition warranting more clinical research and experience before it might be considered in the main book as a formal disorder".[2]
In 2018, however, the World Health Organization (WHO) included Gaming disorder alongside gambling disorder classified under "Disorders Due to Addictive Behaviors" in their diagnostic manual, the International Classification of Diseases[3].
The decision to include addictive gaming behavior in the WHO's ICD-11 was made based on consultations with experts in various fields from across the globe; warranting the implementation of treatment programs in various countries to symptoms identical to those exhibited by people with gaming disorder. As a new listing, the disorder will receive the needed attention of medical professionals, allowing for empirically based evidence of its associated risks as well as prevention and treatment measures[4].
Although, some researchers have underlined the weakness of the evidences and the clinical utility of the WHO's ICD-11 "because there is a genuine risk of abuse of diagnoses"[5].
