Internet Gaming Disorder is an epidemiologic problem that affects 3-8% of the world's population. It is a new, but serious and rapidly growing condition. ?? As rates continue to rise, clinicians face a challenge: Addressing an issue that can drastically affect mental health but isn’t recognized as a formal diagnosis. Last week, Alok Kanojia MD MPH attended NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals’s 2024 Annual Conference where he spoke to a group of clinicians about recognizing and addressing IGD, along with its potential comorbidities. The sessions covered psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments, along with strategies for involving families in holistic recovery programs. While more research, awareness, and expertise are needed to make a lasting impact on IGD, we can start by equipping clinicians to address the unique challenges of our increasingly digital world. At the HG Institute we focus on providing resources to help clinicians stay at the forefront of emerging mental health stressors. Simply keeping up isn’t enough—in order to truly support the digital generation, we have to make a concerted effort to understand them. ?? #MentalHealth #InternetGamingDisorder #VideoGameAddiction #NAADAC
