Abstract (English):	The youth have grown up immersed in digital technology, which is why they are called digital natives. They should know how to identify the symptoms of new diseases caused by digital platforms better than any other age group. Methodology: Primary data were obtained with a 9- question self-administered questionnaire from a sample of 192 centennials. Results: Respondents mostly are unaware of having suffered pathologies due to this digital world, considering false that it may impact on their mental health. But some cases refer issues related to the abuse of social networks. Many of these young centennials are unaware of the problems caused by digital tools in mental health, since they are not aware of the new pathologies that exist in this virtual world. For the reason that they don't know new conditions that exist in this digital world. In conclusion, data collected show that the vast majority of post-millennials have experienced anxiety, depression and insomnia at some point. Social media directly impacts health. The study reflects that young people are uninformed of the terminology of pathologies such as cyber dizziness, imaginary call syndrome, nomophobia or cyberchondria. Fortunately, a majority of these members of Generation Z are conscious that the abuse of social networks can create addiction and can constitute a threat to their privacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Los jóvenes han crecido inmersos en la tecnología digital, por ello se les denomina nativos digitales. Deberían saber identificar la sintomatología de las nuevas enfermedades causadas por las plataformas digitales mejor que cualquier otra franja de edad. Metodológicamente, se han obtenido datos mediante cuestionario autoadministrado de 9 preguntas a una muestra de 192 centennials. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría no es consciente de haber sufrido patologías derivadas de ellas considerando falso que impacten en su salud mental. Sin embargo, algunos casos refieren síntomas relacionados con el abuso de las redes sociales. El mundo virtual puede provocar nuevas patologías cuya existencia es ignorada por la juventud. La principal conclusión es que, los altos porcentajes recogidos muestran que la gran mayoría de los posmilénicos han experimentado en alguna ocasión ansiedad, depresión e insomnio. Las redes sociales impactan directamente en la salud. El estudio refleja que los jóvenes desconocen la terminología de las patologías como son el cibermareo, el síndrome de la llamada imaginaria, la nomofobia o la cibercondria. Afortunadamente una mayoría de estos integrantes de la Generación Z son conscientes de que el abuso de las redes sociales puede crear adicción y pueden constituir una amenaza a su privacidad.
