  • Deadline: 5:00 PM EST – 14 July

Query: Teens and young adults use TikTok and other social media platforms for social connection and to get information. But misinformation about ADHD and mental health disorders is widespread in TikTok videos, many of which are shot by teens or young adults, not professionals. I’m seeking input from therapists and providers who treat teens and young adults with ADHD who have insights into the ways that social media misinformation about ADHD or mental health conditions are affecting young people.

  1. What do you recommend to patients who are questioning whether the information in a TikTok video is reliable and accurate?
  2. Why do you think so few videos on social media are created by therapists and health professionals?
  3. What criteria can young people use to figure out whether the information in TikTok videos is accurate and reliable?
  4. Are there other online resources that you would recommend to patients for reliable information about ADHD?

Requirements: I’m seeking insights from psychologists, pediatricians, GPs, social workers and other therapists who treat teens and young adults with ADHD, who can answer questions via email this week.
