"Can social media make us sick? I think it IS making us sick." Of course it is, but everyone is still addicted to it anyway. This fascinating 10-minunte short documentary titled Believing is Seeing is a compelling look at an actual real world psychological problem. Made by a Kiwi filmmaker named Sophie Black, this is part of the latest offering of "Loading Doc" short films from the doc program. A mysterious outbreak of tic disorders among young people leads doctors to question whether social media is making us sick and how it's affecting young people. The short introduces us to sociologist Dr. Robert Bartholomew, an expert in mass psychogenic illness, who talk clearly about how this "TikTok tic" is absolutely real and that social media should come with a health warning. It barely scratches the surface of this issue, but it should be more than enough to make you turn off your computer & put away your phone. It's worth a watch - especially for teens. ›››
