Individuals with internet gaming disorder (IGD) or gaming disorder (GD) had a higher prevalence of ADHD than individuals without IGD or GD. The overpathologizing of excessive gaming behaviors may be associated with the functional impairment due to ADHD in individuals with GD.
The present study was designed to compare the gaming patterns, accompanying psychopathology, and co-occurring psychiatric disorders, especially ADHD, between clinical and general gamer samples (17-29 years old).
Out of the nine IGD criteria, the item "functional impairment" had low diagnostic accuracy in participants with IGD or GD. The IGD (GD) group had a higher prevalence of ADHD compared to the general gamer group. Conversely, there was a higher prevalence of IGD (GD) in the ADHD group compared to the non-ADHD group.
The possibility of ADHD should be considered when IGD or GD is diagnosed in patients with problematic Internet gaming.
患有网络游戏障碍(IGD)或游戏障碍(GD)的个体比没有 IGD 或 GD 的个体更易患注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)。过度游戏行为的过度病理化可能与 GD 个体中由于 ADHD 引起的功能障碍有关。
本研究旨在比较临床和一般游戏者样本(17-29 岁)之间的游戏模式、伴随的精神病理学和共患精神障碍,特别是 ADHD。
在九个 IGD 标准中,“功能障碍”项目在患有 IGD 或 GD 的参与者中的诊断准确性较低。IGD(GD)组比一般游戏者组更易患 ADHD。相反,在 ADHD 组中,IGD(GD)的患病率高于非 ADHD 组。
当诊断患有问题性网络游戏的患者患有 IGD 或 GD 时,应考虑 ADHD 的可能性。
