Abstract

Although it is acknowledged that is not yet clear whether GD is an independent disorder or is symptomatic of a deeper underlying pathology, and the direction of causality in comorbid disorders is unclear, this letter provides a brief snapshot of those accessing the only dedicated gaming disorder clinic in the UK; future papers will communicate treatment data in due course. We hope to have highlighted some features of the profile of those seeking treatment for this emerging disorder.
