    Psychology emerged as a philosophical field studied by thinkers like Aristotle and Plato. It was not until the late 19th century that psychology began to be considered a scientific area of study. Various approaches emerged including behavioral, functional, structural, and psychoanalytic. Advances in physiology, neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology were also introduced into the study of the psyche. During the COVID-19 pandemic, technology helped maintain the connection between patients and professionals when isolation was necessary. However, aspects like constant information bombardment and standardized daily life from technology use can exacerbate psychological pressures and problems like depression and anxiety, especially for those without access to services and technology due to socioeconomic inequalities.

    Psychology emerges, still as a philosophical branch, occupying philosophers such as

    Aristotle and Plato in the search for the understanding of human behavior. It was only at the end

    of the 19th century that psychology started to be considered an area of studies in the scientific

    field. The approaches that emerged since then were numerous: behavioral, functional, structural

    and psychoanalytic. The need to understand the driving force of our actions grew more and more

    and the academies began to train psychological studies, providing support for the emergence of

    new perspectives. In addition to the social aspects, scientific discoveries introduced the concepts

    of Physiology, Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology to the studies of the psyche.

    Eventually, psychology found, in the constant scientific and technological evolution, a

    way to expand its methods of study and fields of action. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the

    need for isolation, the adaptations and adhesion of technology in the field of psychology became

    evident. Faced with a scenario in which support for mental phenomena seemed more essential

    than ever, technology was responsible for maintaining the bridge between patient and

    professional. In addition to serving as an artistic channel and providing entertainment, digital

    media have built a way to take care of mental health through communication with a professional.

    However, more than considering the benefits that technological development has brought us at

    that moment, we need to understand that other aspects that shape the current world are not easily

    solved by technology and that they can even be aggravated by it.

    Faced with a social scenario in which individuals are vigorously subjected to the use of

    technologies, the constant bombardment of information, the media culture of aesthetic standards

    and uncertainties lead us to follow a programmed and standardized daily life. So, day to day

    becomes more and more voracious with regard to psychological pressures. Again, we observe the

    development of a number of psychological problems. We are talking about a population affected

    by high rates of depression and anxiety. In addition to the cultural aspects that surround us, it is

    necessary to consider that the socioeconomic structures responsible for maintaining social

    discrepancies deprive significant portions of access to basic services and rights, including services

    related to mental health or even technology itself.
