Objectives: In this study, we intended to evaluate the associations between depression, anxiety, hostility, and remission of Internet gaming disorder. The association was also evaluated among student and non-student groups. Methods: We recruited 85 subjects with Internet gaming disorder, and 85 subjects in remission from Internet gaming disorder. All participants received a diagnostic interview based on the Internet gaming disorder in the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic Manual for Mental Disorders, and completed copies of questionnaire for depression, anxiety, and hostility. Results: We found that subjects with Internet gaming disorder in remission had significant lower depression (20.64 ± 10.04 vs. 15.04 ± 9.10, p ＜ 0.001), anxiety (53.81 ± 10.89 vs. 49.72 ± 11.27, p ＜ 0.05), and hostility (63.62 ± 13.24 vs. 55.00 ± 12.65, p ＜ 0.001) than those with Internet gaming disorder. The logistic regression demonstrated that hostility (β = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.01 - 1.12, p ＜ 0.05) was significant more associated factor. Among student subjects, significantly lower hostility (64.86 ± 13.04 vs. 56.00 ± 10.56, p ＜ 0.01), and significantly lower anxiety (55.68 ± 11.12 vs. 50.12 ± 11.06, p ＜ 0.05), were found in those with Internet gaming disorder in remission. Among non-student subjects, significantly lower depression (20.40 ± 10.15 vs. 13.16 ± 8.19, p ＜ 0.01), and significantly lower hostility (61.86 ± 13.51 vs. 54.07 ± 14.39, p ＜ 0.05), were found in those with Internet gaming disorder in remission. Conclusion: The comorbid psychiatric symptoms could be lessened in those with Internet gaming disorder in remission. Further prospective study is necessary to clarify the causal relationship between comorbid psychiatric symptoms and Internet gaming disorder in remission.
