Los medios de comunicación informan con frecuencia de la preocupación por la relación entre la salud mental y el uso de las redes sociales. Varios estudios han refutado la idea de que Facebook y Twitter son perjudiciales para nuestra salud mental, y otros han demostrado los efectos positivos de las aplicaciones en determinados trastornos mentales. Incluso se ha demostrado que las redes sociales pueden servir para diagnosticar enfermedades graves. Para ello, es necesario realizar estudios previos que revisen la relación de estos fenómenos y se establezcan resultados científicos. En este estudio se expone un resumen de estudios recientes que examinan las formas en que las personas con enfermedades mentales utilizan los medios sociales, cómo este uso afecta a su salud psicológica. El presente estudio fue una revisión realizada entre 2006 y 2021. Según las palabras clave, se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en las bases de datos Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Magiran y SID. En total, se obtuvieron 789 artículos. Las redes sociales pueden tener un impacto positivo en los niños y adolescentes, ya sea enseñándoles habilidades sociales, mejorando sus relaciones o simplemente siendo entretenidos. Esto es especialmente cierto para la salud mental y el bienestar de los jóvenes usuarios. Sin embargo, si esto no es controlado, puede causar un grave problema para la salud mental de las personas.
