El controvertido diagnóstico del trastorno de adicción a los videojuegos y la evolución del mismo durante la pandemia COVID-19: a propósito de un caso clínico.

Abstract

Video game addiction disorder has generated significant controversy in recent years, being included in the next editions of the CIE and DSM within the section on behavioral disorders. The abusive use of video games can lead to a pattern of behavior that results in a significant clinical deterioration of the person. We present the case of a 19-year-old male with no psychiatric history, who, after confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, develops a video game addiction disorder.
