ICD-11 code : 6C51;
Preferred Label : Gaming disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Gaming disorder is characterised by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour
('digital gaming' or 'video-gaming'), which may be online (i.e., over the internet)
or offline, manifested by: 1. impaired control over gaming (e.g., onset, frequency,
intensity, duration, termination, context); 2. increasing priority given to gaming
to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities;
and 3. continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.
The pattern of gaming behaviour may be continuous or episodic and recurrent. The pattern
of gaming behaviour results in marked distress or significant impairment in personal,
family, social, educational, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
The gaming behaviour and other features are normally evident over a period of at least
12 months in order for a diagnosis to be assigned, although the required duration
may be shortened if all diagnostic requirements are met and symptoms are severe.;
