SINGAPORE: There has been a growing trend of fake doctor profiles claiming to be from the Institute of Mental Health appearing all over popular social media app TikTok.
From the start, the hospital has faced an uphill battle for public acceptance and support for its important work in caring for those experiencing mental health challenges. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to the hardworking doctors at IMH as they are now associated with people who aren’t saying the kindest things online.
Some argue that humour on a platform such as TikTok tends to be more edgy or self-deprecating and that making light of such issues normalises them. The pseudo doctors’ outlandish and punny names, while clearly facetious, could be offensive to those who may not recognise them for what they are, especially people not from Singapore.
