Do positive comments include humourous comments, or just purely complimentary in nature?

I actually don't think users of tiktok are actually qualified to determine who is faking and not faking their conditions.

Depression is one of the most diagnosed mental illnesses, so are you sure you're not just assuming people are self-diagnosing? Especially since basic tasks like personal hygiene and chores are a pretty common symptom, too?

I think you've forgotten what subreddit you're posting on. Do you have a paper on your supposed "pattern", or are you just discriminating against a researcher for fun?

Possibly, but I don't think "anecdotal stories about their personal experiences" is necessarily a bad thing when it comes to illnesses, as long as they are not proclaiming they have some sort of cure up their sleeve.
It's almost like a new version of peer support.
