Abstract:
In order to address etiologic, clinical, and treatment strategies applicable to Internet and video game addiction (IVGA), a working definition of addiction is presented and unique aspects of Internet and screen use disorders and addictive patterns are discussed. Addictions share common neurobiological mechanisms, cause, triggers, and behavioral sequelae-often presenting with similar symptomatology-although severity and impairment vary widely. This article reviews etiologic and neurobiological antecedents to Internet and video game addiction.
