Using Mental Illness For TikTok Clout

The topic of mental health on TikTok can be very beneficial to bring awareness, normalizing mental health, and encourage people to get help. On the flip side, it romanticizes anxiety, ADHD, and mental illness, and misleads people into thinking their generic symptoms are that of a larger mental illness. It leads to youth being misled and influenced to think they have an undiagnosed mental illness, to which they'll decide to self-diagnose and not get the actual help they need if they are actually suffering from a mental illness. It can also lead completely normal people to believe they have a mental illness because the symptoms listed in these TikToks are so incredibly generic.
