CGI Clinic was very excited to return to Australia after 6 months in Asia, investigating Internet Gaming Addiction in children. Our aim is to increase Internet and Health Awareness in the local community and in our first week back we were invited to speak twice in Adelaide! We were delighted to present to the Lyell McEwin Hospital and the Vietnamese Parenting Association of South Australia. Dr Le was invited to talk at the Adelaide North Psychiatry Grand Rounds at the Lyell McEwin Hospital on Internet Games and Internet Gaming Addiction. Exploring Internet Gaming worlds and what makes them so appealing and possibly addictive

There are no services in South Australia to treat Internet Gaming Addiction nor education programs regarding the effects of Internet Gaming in schools. However, many clinicians were reporting not only anecdotal clinical experience with Internet Gaming Addiction but personal stories with Internet Gaming. Explaining what is Minecraft the popular Internet Game and what makes it so appealing to young children.

Key points and questions discussed: - Diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder - Formulating and understanding patients with Internet Gaming Disorder - Effective Treatments for IGD - Positive effects of Gaming Dr Le was also kindly invited to speak to the Vietnamese Parenting Association of South Australia at the community centre in Mansfield Park. A parenting presentation on preventing Internet Addiction was given in English and Vietnamese.
