Cbt and medications work best as a combination. Before this, a detailed assessment needs to be conducted.

Online addiction/ gaming addiction has been included as a psychiatric disorder in 2012. Even in 1996 it was recognised. You need to consult a psychiatrist and a combination of cognitive behavior therapy and short course of medications (to break the pleasure cycle of addiction) acting on dopaminergic system will be very much ideal to come out of the behavior. All the best.
