depression, hostility, and social anxiety disorder. We also provide discussion for
possible mechanisms accounting for the coexistence of psychiatric disorders and Online
game addiction. The review might suggest that combined psychiatric disorders
mentioned above should be evaluated and treated to prevent their deteriorating effect
on the prognosis of Online game addiction. On the other hand, Online game addiction
should be paid more attention to when treating people with these coexisting psychiatric

concepts of recovery. The first is the reduction of psychiatric symptoms and functional
disabilities (‘clinical recovery’), while the second describes the individual adaptation
process to the threat posed to the individual sense of self by the disorder and its

specific application.
The Recovery Assessment Scale is possibly the best currently available measure
of personal recovery when all evaluation criteria are included. However, the ratings
listed in the current paper depended on the availability of information and the quality of

on the reviewed measures is perhaps more important than the development of new

withdrawal symptoms (the experience of unpleasant physical effects or negative
emotions when unable to engage in the activity), conflict(the activity leads to conflict
