Clinical Trial Summary

Excessive problematic use of the internet has been a topic of discussion in the academic literature for many years and has gained more attention recently. The majority of those at risk are in early adulthood. Pathological internet use (PIU) is also termed internet addiction disorder (IAD), with both terms used to link internet use with addiction terminology. Consistent with other psychiatric conditions such as depression symptoms, PIU prevalence rates among adolescents vary widely from as low as 0.3% to 38%. Likewise, PIU prevalence among college students (young adults) showed a wide variation ranging from 3% to 34%, worldwide. Nowadays, internet gaming addiction became a problematic issue in adolescent. This is a case -control study, aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of internet gaming addiction among adolescents and its relationship with emotion regulation and comorbid psychiatric disorders.
