Abstract: Vivimos en un mundo globalizado que se mantiene conectado mediante el
internet. Determinar la veracidad de la información que recibimos es difícil, más
aún en aquella relacionada con la salud. El internet es una de las fuentes más
populares para la búsqueda de información relacionada con la salud y esta
conducta se incrementa en el contexto de brotes epidemiológicos. En el contexto
de la pandemia actual, se ha encontrado un incremento de ansiedad por temas
de salud, siento la principal preocupación el estar infectado por SARS-CoV-2.
Es crucial el papel de los medios de comunicación, porque podrían inducir
ansiedad en la población. La cibercondría implica experimentar ansiedad
después de buscar información médica y abordar problemas de salud mediante
el internet. Se origina como un comportamiento que busca la sensación de
seguridad, sin embargo, tiene un carácter repetitivo y excesivo, lo que conduce
a empeorar las preocupaciones. Uno de los riesgos es que los pacientes
desarrollen desconfianza hacia el médico y mayor probabilidad de
automedicación. La prevalencia de este ente, en nuestro país y en muchos otros
es desconocida. En el marco de esta pandemia, es importante que la
investigación se enfoque hallar pronto un medicamento eficaz o una vacuna; sin
embargo, no debemos ignorar la salud mental de la población, que se ha visto
impactada por todos los cambios sociales en nuestras vidas. El dejar pasar por
alto estos tópicos, podría enfrentarnos en un futuro muy cercano a una pandemia
de trastornos psiquiátricos.
We live in a globalized world that is kept connected through the internet. Determining the veracity of the information we receive is difficult, even more so in that related to health. The internet is one of the most popular sources for the search for health-related information and this behavior increases in the context of epidemiological outbreaks. In the context of the current pandemic, an increase in anxiety about health issues has been found, being infected by SARS-CoV as the main concern. The role of the media is crucial, because it could induce anxiety in the population. Cyberchondria involves experiencing anxiety after searching for medical information and addressing health problems online. It originates as a behavior that seeks the feeling of security, however, it is repetitive and excessive, which leads to worse worries. One of the risks is that patients develop distrust of the doctor and a greater likelihood of self-medication. The prevalence of this entity, in our country and in many others, is unknown. In the context of this pandemic, it is important that research focuses on finding an effective drug or vaccine soon; however, we must not ignore the mental health of the population, which has been impacted by all the social changes in our lives. By overlooking these topics, we could face a pandemic of psychiatric disorders in the very near future.
