Our analysis of mental health TikTok videos revealed that while 67% offered useful content, 33% spread misleading advice, often garnering more engagement than accurate information.
The alarming trend shows that misleading content, including anti-psychiatry sentiments, not only thrives on TikTok but is often more popular than factual representations of mental health.
Despite having access to quality health information, users frequently fall prey to misinformation due to the popularity of emotionally charged fake news overshadowing accurate content.
TikTok serves as a crucial battleground for mental health information where creators often lack the qualifications to provide advice while appealing to vast audiences.
