It’s always rewarding to see your work resonate—and even
more so when it gets recognized by a name as iconic as Encyclopaedia
Britannica.
Last week, my article titled “TikTok Therapy: How Gen Z's Trend Is Reshaping Mental Health”
was published on Psychology Today, where I delved into the fast-evolving
phenomenon of “therapy talk” on TikTok. It’s a subject that lies at the
intersection of mental health, digital behavior, and social trends—areas I’m
deeply passionate about.
The article explores how Gen Z is turning to short-form
videos not just for entertainment but for emotional validation, mental health
insights, and even self-diagnosis. It also raises critical questions about
accuracy, ethics, and the psychological consequences of reducing complex
conditions into 60-second clips.
To my surprise (and delight), Britannica’s ProCon
platform cited my article in its latest report: “Study Finds ADHD Content on TikTok Is Less Than 50 Percent
Accurate”. Seeing my work acknowledged in this context reaffirms the
importance of critical media analysis and responsible storytelling in the
digital age.
For those who haven’t read it yet, I’d love for you to check out the piece and share your thoughts. It’s a conversation worth having—especially as the lines between information and influence continue to blur on our screens.
