Abstract
Individuals with internet gaming disorder (IGD) or gaming disorder (GD) have a higher prevalence of ADHD compared to those without these disorders.
- The prevalence of ADHD is greater in individuals with IGD or GD than in the general gaming population.
- Among those diagnosed with ADHD, there is an increased occurrence of IGD or GD compared to those without ADHD.
- The criterion of 'functional impairment' within the nine IGD criteria shows low diagnostic accuracy for IGD or GD.
- The overpathologizing of excessive gaming behaviors may relate to functional impairments associated with ADHD in individuals with GD.
