Mental health is a hotly discussed topic on TikTok. Hundreds of videos with numerous claims are being circulated, especially about ADHD.
The following three claims are circulating en masse on TikTok. Caffeine is said to calm people with ADHD. People with ADHD are said to have no ‘object permanence’. That would mean that they forget the existence of people or objects if they cannot perceive them. And people with ADHD might only focus on things they enjoy. The videos receive hundreds of thousands of views, but the content is often incorrect or misleading. Experts therefore urge you to always seek professional help. VRT NWS examined the three popular claims, together with child and youth psychiatrists Marina Danckaerts and Karen Vertessen.
