Research by The Guardian has found that more than half of the 100 popular mental health videos on TikTok offer misinformation. Experts criticized the misuse of therapeutic language and the promotion of quick fixes such as taking supplements with limited evidence. They highlight the risks of pathologizing normal emotional experiences, which can lead to confusion and unrealistic expectations. TikTok has responded that it is working to eliminate misinformation and promote accurate information, while authorities emphasize the need for stricter regulation to protect users.
