    6:25: "Please, do not look at TikTok as your sole source of information for mental health." Please, do not look at TikTok as your sole source of information for ANYTHING.
  • As a nurse, this is probably the most useful and potentially the most healthful Wired Support video. Stay safe everyone. And don't hesitate to seek help!
  • @goldenTym
    "Why does TikTok say I have ADHD?". I dunno. Maybe because the app literally trains your brain to stay focused for no longer than 15 seconds and be constantly engaged/stimulated?
  • @legallyrequired
    As someone with OCD it is always nice being reminded that the only thing wrong is my brain misfiring
  • @CarbuncleWishes
    Why is he dressed like mint chocolate ice cream its so distracting
  • As a depressed person, i tried to sleep all day cus the more i slept, the less time i had to interact with the world. Dreams are an escape, dreams are my hope. Im not that depressed anymore but some days, that feeling comes back to haunt me. the urge to just sleep and forget the world for a while.
  • @talal2000tbh
    To whoever makes these videos I need you to know that I deeply appreciate the fact that you still keep calling it twitter and not X
  • @Bennythejet55
    Those glasses are straight off an 80's projector. Bro can hide his unibrow so easily.
  • @parkermae
    I need 10 more videos with Dr. Bender and a link to where he got his glasses!
  • DSM-5 book giving me panic about my 10,000 word psych essay I have due in a week... Edit: Got it done well, thank god
  • @LiaBee1993
    6:58 Yes, AND - 1. Lots of other mental health issues can appear similar to ADHD like trauma, depression, etc (which makes sense given COVID). But also, 2. There has been more discussions about how typically under-represented groups (like girls) might have been under-diagnosed in the past.
  • @BestOffer-ii9ny
    Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
  • Just remember, there's more to psychopathy and narcissism than lack of empathy. There's plenty of people who lack empathy AND STILL do things to help others and avoid causing harm. The amount of people who CAN'T respect others UNLESS they have empathy is concerning...
  • @marshallc6215
    That last line being cut so short is almost dangerous on the editor's part. There is a LOT of caveats to make there, and I'm sure he made them, but they got cut for time.
  • @LostOasis12
    Why am I focusing on the fact that your outfit looks like mint chocolate ice cream?
  • @RGBY-tv4hg
    Got an unskipable ad while he was telling me to breath out…
