Comorbidity of Internet gaming disorder and alcohol use disorder: A focus on clinical characteristics and gaming patterns

Abstract

The findings of this study indicate that the comorbidity between IGD with AUD showed more severe psychopathological impairments, and the respective persons spent more money on gaming than either IGD or AUD alone. These particular characteristics may serve as feasible therapeutic targets in clinical settings. (Am J Addict 2017;26:326-334).
