Additionally, social media can serve as plat-forms to share personal experiences and foster a community of support among those facing similar challenges. The increasing incidence of psychological crises in the population, exacerbated by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, so-cial isolation, and economic stress, has highlighted the need for innovative so-lutions to address mental health.The objective of this study is to analyze how technology, including mobile applications, online therapies, and social net-works, can be effectively used to prevent and treat psychological crises. It seeks to identify best practices, existing barriers, and opportunities to improve psy-chological support through digital means.
