This study was aimed to evaluate the association between Internet addiction and depressive disorder, social phobia and adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a sample of Taiwanese college students; and examine gender differences in the psychiatric comorbidity of Internet addiction in this student population.
Two hundred sixteen college students (132 males, 84 females) were recruited. Internet addiction, major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, social phobia, and adult ADHD of all participants were diagnosed based on psychiatric diagnostic interview.
This study revealed that adult ADHD and depressive disorders were associated with Internet addiction among college students. However, depressive disorders were associated with Internet addiction in the males but not the females.
With these results, it seems reasonable to suggest that effective evaluation of, and treatment for, adult ADHD and depressive disorders is required for college students with Internet addiction.
本研究旨在评估台湾大学生样本中网络成瘾与抑郁症、社交恐惧症及成人注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）之间的关联；并探讨该学生群体中网络成瘾的精神共病的性别差异。
招募了216名大学生（132名男性，84名女性）。所有参与者的网络成瘾、重度抑郁症、心境恶劣障碍、社交恐惧症及成人ADHD均通过精神科诊断访谈进行诊断。
本研究表明，大学生中的成人ADHD和抑郁症与网络成瘾有关。然而，抑郁症与男性的网络成瘾有关，与女性无关。
基于这些结果，对于患有网络成瘾的大学生，对成人ADHD和抑郁症进行有效评估和治疗似乎是合理的。
