Mental Health
With Dr. Nate
Dr. Nate is a board-certified psychiatrist and one of the most recognized clinical voices at the intersection of mental health, digital technology, and modern life. His work on Digital Hyperconnectivity — the psychiatric framework he pioneered to explain how always-on connectivity shapes the mind — has been featured across leading media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, ABC News, and Newsweek. He is the lead editor of Digital Hyperconnectivity: A Clinical Guidebook (APA Publishing, forthcoming) and co-editor of Internet Gaming Disorder: A Clinical Strategy Guide for Providers, Parents, and Players (APA Publishing, 2025).
With an estimated 3.3 billion gamers globally and an industry valued at nearly $300 billion, video games represent the fastest-growing form of entertainment—outpacing traditional sports, music, and movies combined. Although gaming can foster community and personal enrichment, it also carries the risk of internet gaming disorder (IGD), a behavioral addiction marked by impaired control over gaming, prioritization of gaming over other activities, and continued play despite negative consequences.
Internet Gaming Disorder: A Clinical Strategy Guide for Providers, Parents, and Players is the first and most comprehensive interdisciplinary resource on the diagnosis, treatment, and cultural context of IGD. Written by psychiatrists with expertise spanning child and adolescent, addiction, forensic, and geriatric psychiatry, this volume offers a holistic view of the benefits and problems associated with gaming.
