          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: La victimización a través de las redes sociales se ha asociado con problemas de salud mental como depresión y comportamiento suicida. Objetivo: Presentar el caso clínico de una adolescente víctima de cyberbullying con síntomas depresivos y comportamiento suicida. Metodología: Reporte de caso y revisión no sistemática de la literatura relevante. Resultados: Se presenta un reporte de caso, tratado en un hospital de Medellín debido a dos intentos de suicidio relacionados con las redes sociales. Discusión: En la actualidad, existen múltiples recursos de los medios sociales. El advenimiento de Internet y teléfonos inteligentes no es solo una estrategia para mejorar las interacciones sociales, sino que también contribuye a deteriorar la salud mental de algunas personas jóvenes vulnerables. Conclusión: Este caso nos sensibiliza sobre la relación entre el crecimiento de redes sociales y el acoso cibernético. No podemos establecer la causalidad, pero podríamos deducir que algunos contenidos en la web podrían propiciar un mayor riesgo de enfermedad mental para los jóvenes que están expuestos y vulnerables.

            Effects of peer victimization in schools and perceived social support on adolescent well-being.

            K Rigby (2000)
            It has been suggested that the mental health of schoolchildren can be undermined by repeated bullying at school and further exacerbated by having inadequate social support. To evaluate this claim, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was administered anonymously to 845 adolescent schoolchildren attending coeducational secondary schools in South Australia, together with measures of the extent to which each reported being bullied at school and the social support available to them. Multiple regression analyses indicated that for both sexes frequent peer victimization and low social support contributed significantly and independently to relatively poor mental health.

              Cyberbullying and adolescent mental health: systematic review

              Cyberbullying is a new form of violence that is expressed through electronic media and has given rise to concern for parents, educators and researchers. In this paper, an association between cyberbullying and adolescent mental health will be assessed through a systematic review of two databases: PubMed and Virtual Health Library (BVS). The prevalence of cyberbullying ranged from 6.5% to 35.4%. Previous or current experiences of traditional bullying were associated with victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying. Daily use of three or more hours of Internet, web camera, text messages, posting personal information and harassing others online were associated with cyberbullying. Cybervictims and cyberbullies had more emotional and psychosomatic problems, social difficulties and did not feel safe and cared for in school. Cyberbullying was associated with moderate to severe depressive symptoms, substance use, ideation and suicide attempts. Health professionals should be aware of the violent nature of interactions occurring in the virtual environment and its harm to the mental health of adolescents.
