For the current generation of teenagers, computers, smartphones and social networks are seen as a completely natural part of their lives. However, the overuse of social networks has been associated with a number of risks such as the possible development of addiction, procrastination and the negative effects on the psychological, physical and social aspects of health. The aim of the research was to analyse the overuse of modern communication technologies on the behaviour of adolescents with a psychiatric diagnosis. The research questions related to the participants’ approach to using the internet, the influence of online activities on their behaviour, the causes of risky behaviour in cyberspace and the factors enabling these risks to be mitigated. The use of modern technologies for teenagers brings a certain satisfaction of needs, stress relief, entertainment and education
