ADHD content on TikTok is misinformed, could steer youth to self-diagnose, study finds

Misinformation on TikTok could be steering youth toward diagnosing themselves with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by convincing them they are among the growing number of people across the country who have the condition, according a study out of the University of British Columbia.The UBC study analyzed 100 of the most-viewed videos on the app dealing with the disorder, finding that less than half the claims about potential symptoms made in the videos actually met diagnostic criteria for ADHD.
