Gaming Disorder and Its Impact on Adolescents' Mental Health
Abstract
This chapter explores Gaming Disorder (GD) and its impact on adolescents. GD is defined as a condition in which excessive gaming negatively affects various life aspects (American Psychiatric Association, 2023). The chapter identifies key sources for recognizing GD symptoms, which can aid practitioners (American Psychiatric Association, 2023). It examines the prevalence of GD among adolescents, highlighting contributing factors like stress, family dynamics, and mental health conditions such as depression and ADHD (Gao et al., 2022). Emphasizing the importance of therapists understanding the gaming world of adolescents, it discusses how gaming practices can lead to addiction, thus guiding effective treatment (Van der Schyff et al., 2023). The chapter outlines strategies for parents to prevent GD (Young, 2009) and highlights effective counseling techniques for practitioners (Kim & Chun, 2022). Lastly, it promotes healthy gaming practices, helping adolescents engage in gaming more balanced and healthfully (Educational Advancement, 2022).
