Depression, Emotional Health and Technologies in Adolescents
Abstract
Depression is a mental health disorder that was thought to occur only in adults; however, in recent
years it has been occurring in the adolescent population, so much so that it has had a considerable
impact on this age group. In addition to this, the use and dependence on inappropriate technological
devices have complicated the situation in young people. Therefore, it is understood that the
compulsive use of smart devices results in physical, psychological and social damage. In view of this
circumstance, the present work gathers compilations of research relevant to the study with the aim of
analyzing, describing and contextualizing depression as a risk factor in adolescents. The
methodology used is descriptive-bibliographic, showing the current context of depression in
adolescents, with relevance in the technological context and its implications in this manifestation.
