Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients will be evaluated initially in a clinical interview by a specialized psychiatrist and then by a second interviewer who will use a semi-structured interview to check the DSM-5 criteria for Video Game Disorder (VGD) modeled in the standard format of Schedules for clinical assessment in neuropsychiatry (SCID). Only a specific subgroup of VGD will be included in our sample, which will be called VGDa, a sample that represent a framework of behavioral dependence in essence.

Question 8: Mood modification assessment. * Patients with craving according to the adaptation of the Gambling Follow-up Scale (GFS) described below. An adaptation of the GFS scale, originally used to evaluate patients with Gambling Disorder, was made in order to allow the evaluation of the craving symptom in a patient with VGD.

Exclusion Criteria: * \- Established contraindication to naltrexone (opioid dependence, in the process of opioid withdrawal or current use of opioid analgesics) or hypersensitivity to naltrexone; * Exposure to any other drug or experimental device in the 30 days prior to inclusion, except for occasional use of benzodiazepines; * Pregnancy, breastfeeding or patients who intend to become pregnant during the study; * Evidence of renal failure, defined as serum creatinine levels\> 133 mmol / L in men and\> 124 mmol / L in women, which correspond to\> 1.51 mg / dl and\> 1.41 mg / dl, respectively on Week 1 of inclusion; * Evidence of clinically significant liver failure (defined as AST or ALT\> 2 times the upper limit of normal) in Week 1 of inclusion; * Significant cardiovascular disease, including a history of myocardial infarction in the last 5 years, stroke, clinically significant heart valve disease, unstable angina, clinically abnormal ECG, arrhythmia or congestive heart failure, determining functional class III or IV (NYHA, 1964); * Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as a diastolic blood pressure of 100 mm / Hg and / or a systolic blood pressure of 180 mm / Hg with or without medication).

The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) will be used to verify the psychiatric exclusion diagnoses. This is a structured diagnostic interview, with quick application - approximately 45 minutes - compatible with the DSM-IV criteria. Its objective is the verification and standardization of the main Psychiatric Disorders of Axis 1 of DSM IV. It is performed by clinicians after rapid training (1 to 3 hours). The translated and adapted Brazilian version showed globally satisfactory reliability.
