Psychology of online gaming disorder
With a burgeoning of online gaming, psychologists became interested in differentiating between online gaming as a healthy form of entertainment and online gaming behavior that crossed the line into a mental health issue. Recently online gaming disorder has achieved the status of a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Many people enjoy online gaming and would not be diagnosed as having Internet Gaming Disorder. What behavior provokes such a diagnosis? Read the following two articles and then for this assignment, you are going to create two personas.
In one, you will describe behavior of someone who partakes in online gaming. Describe what they play, when they play. Give enough information to your persona that it is clear how the person engages with online games and what thoughts and feelings it brings to mind.
For the second persona, you are going to describe someone who has the behaviors, thoughts, and feelings of a someone who would be diagnosed with an Internet gaming disorder.
Then, referencing the following articles, or others that you found explain why you created the personas the way you did.

Diagnosis of bipolar and depressive disorders
Reflect on this direction from the American Psychiatric Association (2021) DSM-5-TR: “Careful consideration should be given to the delineation of normal
sadness and grief from a major depressive episode” (p. 177).
When considering how many disorders may have depressive symptoms, diagnosing bipolar and depressive disorders is an excellent example of the way in
which no single symptom or characteristic points to a particular disorder. Indeed, beginning this week, when you practice diagnosis, you should not just
focus on symptoms related to the disorder covered this week. Any disorder studied up until this point may be possible to diagnose in the case study if there
appears to be more than one disorder.
This week, you continue your practice diagnosing mental disorders.

Diagnosis of anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders
After completing two practice diagnoses, take a moment to reflect on your progress and understanding of how to diagnose. Mastering the process of
diagnosis takes time and experience, just as with any skill.
Here are a few reminders:
• Have you started using tabs in the book for common sections you frequent? If not, consider doing so.
• Remember to include all the words that go with the diagnostic code.
• When you use a symptom to support a diagnosis, the same symptom cannot be used to support another diagnosis.
• Some specifiers can be used for many different diagnoses, such as with:
o Anxious distress
o Panic attacks
