Explain gaming disorder and a CBT plan — CASC communication station

Station brief

Format. Communication station, approximately 7–10 minutes active time after reading. You are the psychiatry registrar. Examiner may play parent and/or young person. [1]

Candidate instructions. Engage both parties. Explain when gaming becomes a disorder (control, priority, harm, impairment — not hours alone). Outline CBT and family-based care as first-line. Correct myths about detox admission and "addiction injection." Address school non-attendance and risk if limits are forced. Agree next steps with teach-back. [2][3]
