There are ongoing controversies regarding the upcoming ICD-11 concept of gaming disorder. Recently, Aarseth et al. have put this diagnostic entity into scrutiny. Although we, a group of Iranian researchers and clinicians, acknowledge some of Aarseth et al.'s concerns, believe that the inclusion of gaming disorder in the upcoming ICD-11 would facilitate necessary steps to raise public awareness, enhance development of proper diagnostic approaches and treatment interventions, and improve health and non-health policies.
目前，关于即将出台的 ICD-11 游戏障碍诊断标准仍存在诸多争议。最近，Aarseth 等人对这一诊断实体进行了深入研究。虽然我们伊朗的一组研究人员和临床医生认可 Aarseth 等人的部分担忧，但我们认为，将游戏障碍纳入即将出台的 ICD-11 将有助于采取必要步骤提高公众意识，促进适当诊断方法和治疗干预措施的发展，并改善健康和非健康政策。
