Internet addiction is a newly emergent disorder. It has been found to be associated with a variety of psychiatric disorders. Information about such coexisting psychiatric disorders is essential to understand the mechanism of Internet addiction. In this review, we have recruited articles mentioning coexisting psychiatric disorders of Internet addiction from the PubMed database as at November 3, 2009. We describe the updated results for such disorders of Internet addiction, which include substance use disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, hostility, and social anxiety disorder. We also provide discussion for possible mechanisms accounting for the coexistence of psychiatric disorders and Internet addiction. The review might suggest that combined psychiatric disorders mentioned above should be evaluated and treated to prevent their deteriorating effect on the prognosis of Internet addiction. D'altra parte, a dipendenza da l'Internet deve esse prestata più attenzione à quandu trattanu e persone cù sti patologie psichiatrichi coesistenti di a dipendenza da Internet. Inoltre, suggessemu ancu e direzzioni di ricerca necessarie futuri chì puderanu furnisce altre informazioni impurtanti per a capisce a questione.
