This is especially common among women who are interested in content about weight loss or body shaping.

The verdict of scientists

As experts have found out, love for TikTok also provokes the emergence of eating disorders.

The fascination with short TikTok videos also causes serious damage to the psyche of teenagers.

Thus, depression and the inability to absorb large amounts of information are often recorded among young men and women.

In addition, teenagers who prefer scrolling through TikTok to watching movies or reading books often complain of lack of self-confidence and self-criticism.
