This article is from the journal of Behavioural Addictions.

- problem gaming has been associated with externalized pathways (conduct problems) and internalized pathways (depressive symptoms) in adolescence

- Based on the results of the studies, the presence of both conduct problems  and depressive symptomsappear to increase the risk for the development of problem gaming and gambling

- Poor impulse control and emotion dysregulation can be identifiedas a connection between internalizingand externalizingproblems, found in both males and females in the studies.

Interesting! The etiology (why something occurs/cause of the condition) and the intersection of that cause with other disorders can be important to understand. By targeting things at the roots rather than the symptoms, we're more likely to be effective in the long term. Things like impulse control and emotion dysregulation being factors to potentially target for PTU might be important, especially as it relates to other things like conduct disorder (and by targeting these, we might get two birds with one stone).
