Many of us are influenced by what we see and read on the internet, especially when it comes to our health. If you’ve ever entered your symptoms into a search engine and become panic-stricken over the search results, you can relate. A more modern version of this scenario takes place every day on social media. A growing number of teens and young adults are self-diagnosing their own mental health disorders based on content created by social media influencers.

There are more than 200 types of mental illness, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These illnesses span dozens of categories of disorders, meaning each specific diagnosis can vary widely from person to person. This makes a correct self-diagnosis extremely unlikely. Interpreting mental health information on social media – where influencers may use diagnostic terms in ways that do not line up with how the medical field defines them – can do much more harm than good.
