The connection between TikTok and teens struggling with mental health
The connection between TikTok and teens struggling with mental health
Psychiatry professor Dr. Wizdom Powell discusses the issues with teens diagnosing themselves with mental illness on TikTok, and shares advice for parents.
The fake illness thing is usually called pendejitis yes pendejitis. In Spanish called being pendejos. and 90% of them doing crap like that are white kids like always trying to feel special and stand out. Im Mexican and Apache mixed same principle of these type of of white people…. When a white person claims they are part native American its always claiming to be Cherokee just for the sake to feel special and stand out.
I really don’t understand why they would want to have a mental illness it sucks.. I went from being a happy guy who could do anything and enjoy myself to being someone who can’t go out to eat with family and feel like I did before, anxiety attacks, couldn’t get in the pool without it triggering a anxiety attack with just being in the water.. I’m now on medication but I still don’t feel like my old self
THANK U! Been suffering with DID for over 20 yrs and have been in treatment for it for 8 yrs and dealing with being attacked for fighting this stigma has been a nightmare and cruel. Threats on my page and people saying they have it and don't need a diagnoses. Ugg
Majority of tens and adults claiming to have mental disorders or whatever are only doing it for views. I’m diagnosed with BPD but you’ll never see me post it on TikTok because I’m not an attention seeking whore. I work hard to improve myself each day. Hell I know someone who claims they are “diagnosed” With autism because according to TikTok, they’re “socially awkward”
Borderline personality disorder is not rare I was diagnosed ASPD but actually diagnosed People who are diagnosed with ASPD is like a 1% people diagnose with waterline personality disorder is like 4% I think but yes they do not diagnose people with these disorders and adolescence
🛑 i’m so mad that they are pretending what’s on my Iep like i used to have a penis allergy and ash’s but it went away and probely they pretended eeewwwww
"care about the well-being" my ass, the way the app works destroys your attention span and is psychologically damaging, I'm seeing kids at school, left and right, who have become victims to it, it's honestly really sad to watch
Love how tiktok show themselves like they actually care …when we all know they dont. And the fact that still 2023 you keep seen this type of content without restrictions or accounts been banned its beyond unbelievable. Ive haven't seen neither expecting tiktok to at least contribute to mental illness by celebrating it on the platform , making a donation or anything. But hey , money is powerful
Mental illness seem to be the new catch all cause for all victims and suspects, while climate change accounts for all other natural calamities. I guess we might as well just kiss our A… goodbye.
Teenagers hormones are constantly fluctuating so they may have ‘mood disorder’ symptoms but it could be directly correlated to the hormones shifts. So they’re very real symptoms first thing I’d do is make sure hormone levels are balanced and for females that it’s not PMDD. It’s constantly misdiagnosed and can start at 13!
American society have entered an era in which every issue that plagues us is suddenly attributed to mental illness, from active shooter to homelessness, is there any room for accountability and personal responsibility anymore.
Why are people …..ANYONE …..with mental health issues, allowed to go onto ANY PUBLIC SOCIAL MEDIA TRASH FORUMS IN THE FIRST PLACE???
There is someone called "Von Viddy" who is labelled as an "internet star" …..who has had mental health issues ……took his own life. His real name was Joe Muchlinski. He was 32 years old. He apparently had some kind of "fan base" that HE built up.
SERIOUSLY???
My one and only comment is ……..GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. TIK TOK is for one kind of person ….and only one kind of person ……………………………….LOSERS.
Hearing something over and over again countless times will eventually causing you serious amounts of mental illness and hallucinations and difficulty in believe into reality and only believe the things you repeatedly heard from.
kids these days are romanticizing all sorts of mental illness and disorders. Probably to blame something for their laziness and juvenile behavior. It is an epidemic, and in part acclerated by tik tok.
Never do a self diagnosis! Only a therapist can diagnose you with something. I am SOOOOO damn sorry if you struggle with an issue mentally, I really hope you get better❤❤

It’s a pity people don’t know how to delete /block /stop using /unfollow things on a device that make you sick.
No self control

I thought that I was schizophrenic but when I finally got help for my hallucinations and the voices I heard and guess what?, I'm not schizophrenic.

There are no medical test for these disorders so it's all subjective
Wish the connection between movies, filth like bottom could be included. As it only helps reenforce and validate sickness and violence as normal.
Nah its just the boomers/millennials assuming

This is what happens when you lock children in the basement

They do though… it’s called “socal contagion”
