- Abstract
Background: Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is continuous and repetitive activities of playing games, such as online multiplayer games. Consequently, these activities could cause illness and difficulties among the players that may last more than 12 months. Meanwhile, conduct disorder (CD) is a common mental disorder. This disorder is a massive disruption as the appearance commonly occurs in adolescence or teenagers, characterized by antisocial behaviours and continuous aggressive and non-aggressive activities. Moreover, during the pandemic of COVID- 19, the occurrence of IGD increased, and people suffering from IGD may have a higher risk of developing other psychiatric disorders, including CD.
Case Report: A 14-year-old boy was suspected to experience IGD during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his behaviour developed into mental disorders. He has been diagnosed to have conduct disorder.
Conclusion: Conduct disorder could be caused by the activities of internet gaming. The risks of developing this disorder could also be found from many factors; thus, parents and schools significantly contribute to preventing this disorder. One of the psychiatric guidelines is applying cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), conducted by both families and schools.
