Teens turning to TikTok therapy

Teens are turning to TikTok for therapy - and many trust what they find there more than the services meant to support them. In this week’s episode, Vince and Cara dive into the rise of TikTok-driven self-diagnosis, from trauma and ADHD to “narcissistic parents,” and explore why the For You Page can feel more responsive, more comforting, and more human than CAMHS.

They unpack the risks, the misinformation, and what practitioners can do in practice - not by fighting the algorithm, but by working alongside it. A lively, honest conversation about trust, digital life, and what young people are really telling us.
