Ah, tik tok. Making young people think normal human behavior is a new flavor of mental illness since 2016.
This shit started on Tumblr
My friend thinks that not wanting to do the things you don't like and only wanting to do things you do like is ADHD
I'm happy that we live in a world where therapy and seeking mental help has been mostly de-stigmatized.
That being said there is definitely something horribly toxic about people diagnosing each over social media. "You know that thing that you struggle with?

Now I kinda wanna see what misinformation interpretive dance looks like 😄
You wouldn't get it 😜

Without it being a one-on-one meeting, this just leads to self diagnosis. Every health issue is either going to be cancer or autism.
Or it helps people go seek diagnosis. Which it does.
Don't be so dismissive of modern technology.
Yeah, there are bad actors, but people aren't stupid just because they use a specific app (not to mention, bad actors get called out often). Your moral superiority is showing.
