There is relatively little content available addressing the use of social media, such as Facebook in psychiatric populations. There has been significant growth of various social media websites in the last 10 years, such as Facebook, and yet little is written about their overall impact on this population. There are articles in the scientific literature about the use of social media in adolescents and young adults and also about its use among physicians and medical students. This article reviews the literature addressing social media and describes a therapeutic interaction with a patient with significant psychiatric comorbities and his use of social media. Furthermore, this is a unique example in current literature of an overall positive interaction and social improvement of this patient in large degree due to his use of Facebook. Physicians themselves must be very cautious in their interaction with patients online and especially via social media, while acknowledging that social media can serve as a spring board for more reclusive patients into greater societal integration.
针对精神科患者使用社交媒体（如 Facebook）的问题，相关内容相对较少。在过去的 10 年中，各种社交媒体网站（如 Facebook）迅速发展，但关于它们对这一人群的总体影响的研究却很少。科学文献中有一些关于社交媒体在青少年和年轻人中的使用，以及在医生和医学生中的使用的文章。本文回顾了关于社交媒体的文献，并描述了与一位患有严重精神合并症的患者的治疗性互动，以及他对社交媒体的使用。此外，这是当前文献中一个独特的例子，说明由于患者使用 Facebook，他的整体社交状况得到了极大改善。医生自己在与患者进行在线互动时必须非常谨慎，特别是通过社交媒体进行互动时，同时也要承认社交媒体可以成为更内向的患者融入更大社会的跳板。
