Impact of bullying and cyberbullying on mental health

Overview

Medical and psychological experts are highlighting the severe mental and physical consequences of bullying and cyberbullying across different demographics.

In Taiwan, psychiatrist Yang Cong-cai warned that the continuous nature of social media attacks can lead to insomnia, social withdrawal, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. He noted that the brain processes social rejection similarly to physical pain, increasing risks for PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

In Spain and Argentina, reports indicate that digital violence extends harassment into a 24-hour cycle, particularly affecting adolescents. Psychologist María de los Ángeles Cutini noted that digital hyperconnectivity creates unique challenges, as virtual spaces are primary environments for socialization, often leading to increased anxiety and panic attacks among students.
