“TikTok and Instagram pull ads by mental health company that linked ADHD to obesity”

Kevin Antshel, professor of psychology and Director of Clinical Training in the College of Arts and Sciences, was interviewed for the USA Today story “TikTok and Instagram pull ads by mental health company that linked ADHD to obesity.” Antshel, an expert on ADHD, explained that while ADHD has been lined to an increased risk of obesity, there are also many other connections to various disorders and risks. Antshel found issue with the fact that Cerebral’s ad solely focused on “being thin and concerns with diet and weight loss.”
