When it comes to social media, your views are their source of revenue. Mental health is big business, which provokes some to create content specifically for these platforms. Self diagnosis videos are targeting a vulnerable population. When you consume these, you are at risk of falling victim to the algorithm—scrolling through an endless stream of negative influence.

On today's podcast we discuss the TikTok approach to self diagnosis.

If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're

considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.
