Gaming Disorder (GD) is one of the latest additions in the psychiatric taxonomy, following its official inclusion in the latest revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). This narrative review examines the rationale of an exclusion criterion for the diagnosis of GD, that of disordered gaming being limited exclusively during an episode of elevated mood in bipolar disorder. The history of the formulation of diagnostic criteria for the disorder and all relevant published studies are examined critically, and conclusions are drawn as to the potential validity and usability of the exclusion criterion. Suggestions are offered for future research to elucidate not only the relevance of the exclusion criterion but also the differential diagnosis of GD with pathological gambling (PG).
游戏障碍（GD）是精神科分类中的最新成员之一，它被正式纳入了最新修订的《国际疾病分类》（ICD - 11）。这篇叙述性综述探讨了游戏障碍诊断中一项排除标准的基本原理，即仅在双相情感障碍情绪高涨发作期间出现的紊乱游戏行为。对该障碍诊断标准的制定历史以及所有相关已发表研究进行了批判性审视，并就该排除标准的潜在有效性和实用性得出结论。为未来研究提供了建议，以阐明该排除标准的相关性以及游戏障碍与病理性赌博（PG）的鉴别诊断。
