Purpose of reviewThe COVID-19 outbreak profoundly influenced human lives on different levels. This narrative review aims to present recent data relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and internet use and internet-based addictive behaviours [problematic Internet use (PIU), Internet addiction, Internet gaming disorder, problem gambling or gambling disorder, social media addiction including smartphone use disorder, problematic pornography use, and compulsive buying]. Recent findingsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of Internet use and Internet-based addictive behaviours increased in all age groups. The COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures were been associated with increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in the general population, especially among children and adolescents, which are the vulnerable groups for the development of mental disorders during the crisis. Furthermore, the fear resulting from the disease, the 'lockdown' measures, high levels of uncertainty regarding the future, and financial insecurity increased levels of loneliness, PIU, and Internet addiction.

“…First, the research on treatment of IGD is modest and, second, of those limited efforts, there appears to be a preference to base approaches upon either existing substance abuse or cognitive–behavioral treatments (Torres-Rodriguez et al, 2019; Zajac et al, 2017). CBT is the most common treatment orientation reported in the literature, with a specific emphasis on creating a controlled behavior plan for IGD that evaluates triggers and events that precede Internet gaming (Griffiths et al, 2016; King & Delfabbro, 2014). Thus, the general consensus is conceptualizing and treating the disorder from a learning theory perspective with an emphasis on both cognitive (e.g., cognitive restructuring techniques, mindfulness/awareness) and behavioral (e.g., relaxation and contingency management) approaches.…”

Internet gaming disorder (IGD), a condition warranting further study in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5, has received considerable research attention in recent years (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Characterized by problematic and repetitive use of Internetbased games, research suggests a complex etiology and that frequent usage, in and of itself, is not necessarily always problematic. Common motivations for intense usage, such as feelings of isolation, distress, and boredom may, in part, reflect an individual's best attempts to navigate contact with the 'ultimate' anxieties identified by Yalom (1980). This article reviews the research pertaining to IGD, conceptualizes the disorder from an existentialhumanistic therapy (E-H) perspective, and concludes with an explanation of how E-H can offer a unique treatment perspective from which to work with clients struggling with problematic online gaming concerns within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

“…Sejauh ini belum ada penanganan khusus tentang pencegahan kecanduan game online (Syahran, 2015). Sebaliknya, banyak penelitian yang telah difokuskan pada remaja yang terkena kecanduan game online (Dong & Potenza, 2014;Griffiths, Kuss, & Pontes, 2016;King et al, 2017;Pallesen, Lorvik, Bu, & Molde, 2015). Terlebih lagi di Indonesia, masih terasa sekali stigma negatif terhadap pelayanan BK (Sanderi, Marjohan, & Sukmawati, 2013;Wangid, 2010).…”
