    El Hikikomori es un trastorno caracterizado por un comportamiento asocial y evitativo que conduce a abandonar la sociedad. El trastorno afecta de manera primordial a adolescentes o jóvenes que se aíslan del mundo, encerrándose en las habitaciones de casa de sus padres durante un tiempo indefinido, pudiendo llegar a estar años enclaustrados.

    Rechazan cualquier tipo de comunicación y su vida comienza a girar en torno al uso de Internet y de las nuevas tecnologías. Dicho fenómeno ha emergido en muchos lugares con entornos socioeconómicos contemporáneos, incluyendo un sistema educacional rígido, oportunidades de empleo irregulares y el uso extendido de internet y juegos online. Uno de los objetivos principales a nivel psicosocial es detectar a dichos jóvenes y promover su integración en el propio rol social, que consigan volver a la escuela y al mercado laboral para reintegrarlos en la sociedad. Dicha intervención debería ser temprana, exhaustiva y multidisciplinar. Sin embargo, consideramos que se requiere una mayor investigación que pueda arrojar luz y hacernos avanzar sobre este controvertido tema.

    Hikikomori is a disorder characterized by an asocial and avoidant behavior that leads to be apart from society. This disorder mainly affects adolescents or young people who isolate themselves from the world, remaining in the rooms of their parents house for an indefinite time, and may become confined during years. They reject any type of communication and their lives begin to revolve around the use of internet and new technologies. Such a phenomenon has emerged in many places with contemporary socio-economic environments, including a rigid educational system, irregular employment opportunities and widespread use of the Internet and online games. One of the main objectives at the psychosocial level is to detect these young people and promote their integration into their own social role, to enable them to return to school and their employments to integrate them into society. These interventions should be early, exhaustive and multidisciplinary. However, we consider that more research is needed for advancing knowledge on this controversial subject
