Perhaps this new trend is growing because it offers easy bite-size answers to big complex questions. The problem

16、 with TikTok, however, is that the videos have to be under 60 seconds, which are about serious mental health illnesses being reduced to brief sentences with quick fixes from sometimes unqualified non-professionals.

17、rapy?“When I first started creating mental health content, I didnt expect anyone to listen, explains Jane Smith, who runs a private practice in Hampshire. “But it turns out people are hungry for this sort of information.

25、zzes, audio recordings or written and spoken essays, are delivered through the Internet.Michael Schutzler, Livemochas chief executive (主管), says the websites advantage is the ability to practice with a real person. “The great irony (挖苦) is that even if you have learned a foreign language in the clas
