University mentor Evie Stewart downloaded the video sharing app TikTok a year ago to learn more about what her young students were interested in. But she ended up learning something life-changing about herself.
She came across a video from a young woman talking about her life living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Intrigued, she went to the woman’s profile and watched another ADHD video. And another. And another. And another.
After TikTok videos prompted Evie Stewart to be clinically assessed for ADHD, she is now documenting her journey on the social media platform to help others.
