摘要
Originated in Japan, the <span style="white-space:nowrap;"><i></i></span><i>hikikomori<span style="white-space:nowrap;"></span></i> phenomenon—as a form of individual withdrawal—has progressively widespread and gained international attention, given its psycho-social and economic consequences. In fact, <i><span style="white-space:normal;">hikikomori</span></i> appears today as a problem that cannot be confined solely to the field of mental health. Rather, it appears as a phenomenon that concerns many aspects of modern society, intersecting with medicine, sociology, anthropology, politics, economics, culture and education. In the context of the actual loneliness pandemic, <i><span style="white-space:normal;">hikikomori</span></i> individuals present characteristics that are examined in this article, together with suggestions for its possible management.
