Abstract
Internet gaming disorder (IGD) may resemble substance and gambling addictions with characteristics such as tolerance and withdrawal.
- IGD is not recognized as a diagnosis in the DSM-5 but may warrant further investigation for potential inclusion.
- Similarities between IGD and other addictions include social and occupational neglect linked to increased gaming time.
- A case of a 22-year-old man with IGD also showed issues related to pornography use.
- The report highlights the sequelae associated with IGD.
- Further research is necessary to explore the potential co-occurrence of IGD and problematic pornography use.
