  I came here looking to see this comment, but I think honestly TikTok is really damaging for people wrt mental conditions and understanding them. There is a TON of mis-information and "I have condition x and behavior Y" correlation/causation BS on TikTok. There's articles of people developing "tik tok tourettes syndrome" from watching videos of other with Tourettes. There's a growing literature of the affects of follow-along mental health conditions coming from watching other people on media with certain issues. I've seen a ton of TikTok ADHD claims that are BS or are "normal" but people shared as ADHD symptoms. I don't know how, but I suspect this sort of mis-information is bad for society. That said, I'm not a doctor/psych but I think its true that this is also an ADHD behavior. The article talks about how the author will listen to certain songs forever, but I think the ADHD behavior is a binge-and-forget type behavior, which seems different, and more related to the hyper-focus aspect of ADHD. Source: I have adhd, do this with music, and recreationally learn about ADHD for fun.
