Thankfully, as terms like "SH" suggest, the conversation around mental health on TikTok tends to be very sensitive and positive. For most people who regularly discuss the topic, the goal is to help people who are struggling, and provide them with resources that may help them improve their own mental health. TikTok's mental health spaces tend to be affirming and kind, and represent the best of what the platform has to offer.

Of course, as is the case with all social platforms, there are TikTok users who are unkind about questions of mental health. Even so, TikTok has found a way to amplify many positive voices in a conversation where those voices are essential to getting people the help that they need. Social media is far from perfect, but it can be useful when it amplifies the right voices.
