In June 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed adding “gaming disorder” to its list of globally recognized diseases, and now the Organization has officially agreed on the addition.
The 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) has officially placed “gaming disorder” alongside “gambling disorder” in its list of “disorders due to addictive behaviours”.
