Treatment

Can admission to a center be necessary to treat video gaming disorder?

The first line of intervention in cases of video game disorder is outpatient psychological treatment, which is important to include the affected person and the family. Previously, a psychopathological assessment must be carried out and if there is any comorbid mental disorder, it is important to include the treatment of these disorders in the intervention that is carried out. If the situation becomes unsustainable at home and there is a vital risk for the person or their family, psychiatric admission can be considered to contain and redirect the situation.
