Close the Generation Gap Between Psychiatrists and Young Patients
Teenagers of today who are hooked on to social networking sites could be growing up with a vague idea of the world and their own personality according to psychiatrists who attended the Annual Meeting of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
According to Dr Himanshu Tyagi, a Psychiatrist at West London Mental Health Trust, social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace have reinforced relationships as fleeting- young people feel relationships on the internet can be developed or done away quite nonchalantly.
Explaining this further, Dr Himanshu, said "This is the age group involved with the Bridgend suicides and what many of these young people had in common was their use of internet to communicate. Its a world where everything moves fast and changes all the time, where relationships are quickly disposed at the click of a mouse, where you can delete your profile if you dont like it and swap an unacceptable identity in the blink of an eye for one that is more acceptable. People used to the quick pace of online social networking may soon find the real world boring and unstimulating, potentially leading to more extreme behavior to get that sense."
