Abstract

Young people are spending more and more time connected to the Internet and are receiving their first mobile device at an early age. Part of this time is spent on social media, media that are a fundamental part of their lives. The aim of this research is to find out, through in-depth semi-structured interviews, the professional opinion of sixteen Spanish psychologists, in contact with young people, on the effects of the use of digital platforms on young people in a context in which there is increasing talk of the deterioration of mental health. The results reveal emotional problems such as dissatisfaction, constant comparison, dependence, overexposure that they are not prepared to assimilate as a whole, lack of preparation to discern between true and false information, as well as other deficiencies in social and personal relationships derived from excessive contact with media and a lack of prior training. Although it cannot be said that the only reason for mental health problems in children and adolescents comes from the digital universe, we can conclude that it is one of the main causes.
