Researchers: 52% of the cuts of hyperactivity disorder on Tek Tok "misleading"
Researchers said that more than half of the allegations associated with the symptoms of hyperactivity and attention disorder (ADHD) in general videos on the “Tech Tech” platform did not match clinical standards, according to the results of a study published by the PLOS One. The study, which emphasizes the challenges associated with the use of social media platforms as a source of mental health information, has shown that the perceptions of adult youths of the value of these tracks differ greatly from the perceptions of psychologists and experts on social media, and the spread of social media has access to information, including hypertial disorder, and a lack of attention, a nervous disorder, and it affects attention, and is a nervy. It is estimated that it is estimated to affect about 3 to 7% of adults. Unlike traditional sources of psychological education, social media focuses on the experiences of individuals suffering from these disorders, giving the content in a personal nature, reflecting the real life experience. Social media, such as Tok Tok, can be a powerful tool to distribute mental health information, reduce social stigma and link individuals to supporting societies. However, the lack of content control, or verification mechanisms may cause concerns about the spread of inaccurate or misleading information. Hyperactive disorder, researchers, in separate studies, have solved the content of hyperactivity disorder and a lack of attention on text tox, focused on the most common features of the content, how young people deal with this content, and its impact on their understanding of this disorder. Tek Talk is a social media platform that allows users to publish short videos and have seen tremendous popularity over the past few years, with over 50 million active users per day. Tech Tuk and Jel Z and what distinguishes the Tok tok platform is that it has become an important source to look for information, especially among young generations such as the Millennial Generation and Gen Z, as many prefer to use it on traditional search engines such as Google. For individuals who seek information about hyperactivity disorder and attention, Tech Talk is the opportunity to communicate with the same symptoms with others, which they have a sense of understanding and belonging. The platform facilitates access to mental health content in a free way, which is important for people who have trouble reaching specialized medical resources. But the nature of Tek talk, which depends on short and fast clippings, makes it difficult to provide accurate and balanced information on psychological disorders, and the platform algorithms are designed to attract the attention of users and keep them on the application for the longest possible period, which can lead to the improvement of “confirmation forecast”, as users are regularly exposed to the It is this feeling that it is this feeling, that it is this feeling, that it is this feeling, that it is this feeling, that it is this feeling, that it is this feeling, that it is this feeling. inaccurate. Studies have shown that there is a gap between the information provided by experts in mental health and the content spread on Tok. Research reviews have found that incorrect information widespread through social media platforms in various topics, including vaccinations, chronic diseases and eating disorders. In terms of hyperactivity disorder and lack of attention, 52% of the videos that deal with this disorder contain inaccurate or misleading information, and the content related to this disorder depends on personal experiences, not on scientific evidence. Although most content makers do not claim to specialize in mental health, the failure to provide an accurate scientific context can lead to a misunderstanding of the nature of the disorder, for example, some symptoms may be provided as a fixed feature in all the infected, without recognizing that the symptoms of one person may differ, not, proposed. Inaccurate conclusions can affect the content of Tek tok in the way users realize the disorders, including the ability to diagnose themselves based on the information they receive. Although self -diagnosis individuals can give a feeling to control their mental health, it can also lead to inaccurate conclusions about their health, especially if it is based on non -scientific information. The study says that one of the biggest concerns is that users can confuse normal symptoms and behavior that is part of the hyperactivity disorder, and someone may think that he only has disorder because it may have problems from time to time, while it may be a natural matter and does not necessarily indicate a mental disorder. On the other hand, the spread of inaccurate information can reduce the confidence in doctors and specialists, and some individuals prefer to look for tips on the Internet instead of going to psychiatric clinics, and studies have shown that some users are negatively affected by inaccurate information, which results in their scientifically proven treatments in favor of unpredicted or even harmful methods. Negative thinking The preliminary results indicate that individuals who use content about that disorder are regular, are more likely to believe that hyperactivity disorder and attention -view appear more frequent than it actually is, and that they are more likely to evaluate the TEK tok platform than a reliable source of information, even if its content is inaccurate. The researchers solved the content of 100 popular video clips on TUK under the tag (#AdHD) and found that less than half of the allegations associated with the symptoms of disorder in these tracks were compatible with the “diagnostic and statistical guide for mental disorders”, which are the worldwide standard used by doctors to diagnose. Thereafter, the researchers investigated the opinions of 843 university students about their habits to watch ADHD cuts and perceptions towards these tracks, and five videos classified by psychologists are as most recommended, and five tracks recommended as the least. Students, who have been diagnosed with hyperactivity disorder and a lack of attention, whether formal or self -authenticity, reported that they watch videos with a more frequent tag (#AdHD) compared to students who do not suffer from this disorder. The study also showed that students who looked at these sections were more likely to recommend others, or the cuts by psychologists were classified as a high quality or of low quality. The researchers also found that people who follow large quantities of content associated with hyperactivity disorder and a lack of attention on “Tuk” tend to exaggerate the spread of this disorder as they have estimated its spread up to ten times, and they also showed more negative thinking about their own symptoms. The researchers describe this study as a starting point for future research, to investigate how to portray hyperactivity disorder and lack of attention on social media platforms, as an understanding of the gaps between the perceptions of psychologists and young adults in developing better efforts to serve people suffering from this disorder.
