'TikTok tics' are not the first phenomenon to be attributed to internet transmission, and they won’t be the last
via the internet might have both positive and negative consequences. In addition to helping people identify causes of their distress and seek appropriate treatment, awareness efforts could lead some individuals to “overpathologise”, or misidentify the causes of their distress as rare conditions such as dissociative identity disorder .
This mislabelling could in some cases even worsen symptoms and distress. “This represents a new route to the age-old phenomenon of social influence,” says Dr Foulkes. “TikTok tics” are not the first phenomenon to be attributed to internet transmission, and they won’t be the last. It is not specific to social media, either: in my book, I write about the disorder Morgellon’s disease, coined in 2002 to describe an apparent skin infestation, and subsequently disseminated widely online. After hearing about Morgellon’s, many people reported they too had characteristic symptoms, including extreme itchiness and fibres emerging from skin lesions.
