In Japan, playing video games is the most popular form of recreation, particularly among boys. Over time, playing video games online has become more prevalent among kids in school. As a result, young children in Japan are now experiencing a serious societal issue due to their excessive online gaming. Previous research has shown that children and teenagers who play too much internet gaming may experience a range of mental health problems. There are more children and adolescents seeking treatment at medical facilities offering child and adolescent psychiatry treatments for a variety of issues associated to excessive gaming. The purpose of this study was to look into how gaming disorder (GD) is being treated in therapeutic settings in Japan.
