The case is of a 22 year old male with gaming addiction. History revealed that his addiction developed when Gaming became his escape from reality after he lost one of his closest friends. In a span for 3 months his gaming escalated and with occasional bouts of small scale sports gambling as well. After rapport building, FRAMES was used as a brief intervention method. Psychoeducation was started and articles on gaming addiction were given to read in the sessions and after. Mindfulness and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy were used along with supportive therapy and family therapy to help him recover from his addiction as well as prevent future relapses. His gaming behaviour has reduced from 6-8 hours in a day to 30 minutes before going to bed 2-3 times in a week in a span of 1.5 months with weekly therapy sessions.
