Shane W. Kraus, Ph.D. Asistan Pwofesè nan Sikyatri ak Direktè Adjeksyon Klinik Konpòtman nan Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Lopital, Inivèsite nan Massachusetts Lekòl Medikal te di konsènan nouvo dyagnostik kategori a: "Sa a se yon premye etap pozitif. Enklizyon de CSBD nan ICD-11 ta gen anpil chans ogmante aksè nan swen pou pasyan (entènasyonalman ak nan peyi Etazini an). Anplis de sa, enklizyon ta tou ogmante finansman rechèch ki te istorikman konsantre sou maladi dyagnostike maladi mantal. Anplis de sa, mwen panse ke li ta diminye stigma pou moun ki afekte yo ak ogmante plis edikasyon founisè sou pwoblèm nan. "

Shane W. Kraus, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Behavioral Addictions Clinic at Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital, University of Massachusetts Medical School said in regard to the new diagnostic category: “This is a positive first step. The inclusion of CSBD in ICD-11 would likely increase access to care for patients (internationally and within the US). In addition, inclusion would also increase research funding which has been historically focused on diagnosable mental health disorders. In addition, I think it would reduce stigma for affected persons and increase more provider education on the issue.”
