L. Jain, L. Velez, et al.
Discover evidence that TikTok’s meteoric rise may carry mental‑health risks: a systematic review (26 studies, 11,462 participants) found 80.19% TikTok use, highest among 18–29 year‑olds, and links between frequent use and elevated anxiety and depression—especially in users under 24, females, and socioeconomically vulnerable groups. The research was conducted by the authors listed in the Authors tag and calls for digital/media literacy, caregiver mediation, screen‑time limits, and more longitudinal and interventional studies.
