ADHD, TikTok, and the Misinformation Trap

Can TikTok actually teach you about ADHD - or is it just feeding you misinformation?

In this Research Recap with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD, Skye dives into a 2022 study analyzing the quality of ADHD content on TikTok. They explore how much of it is accurate, how much is personal storytelling, and why the most relatable content often isn’t the most reliable.

What we cover:

• Why #ADHD is one of TikTok’s biggest health hashtags
• The 3 types of ADHD videos researchers found
• Why “personal experience” and “misinformation” often overlap
• How even healthcare professionals get ADHD content wrong online
• How to spot credible ADHD information before you share it
