No, the act of sending an unsolicited friend request on Facebook is not an act of harassment. On the contrary, the action was an act of unprofessionalism; there are certain boundaries that people of certain professions cannot cross (Kazi & Khan, 2017). For example, a person who is a doctor, they are to tend and care for the individual only in the healthcare setting, they are not to seek out the individual outside of said circumstance, otherwise they are not abiding by the ethics of that profession (Kazi & Khan, 2017).
However, said actions by the doctor could become harassment if done repeatedly over some time period. Say if the doctor continued to add her on social media and comments on her posts even after his friend request were rejected.
