I am a physician who specializes in ADHD and who also happens to have ADHD – and I’m on TikTok. No wait, it gets better. I am on TikTokIf you haven’t already stopped reading in anger, please let me explain myself.
At the start of the pandemic, as billions around the world downloaded TikTok, I, like many others, considered the platform to be nothing more than an incredible time-waster for preteens..
