Default TikTok addiction: A 19-year-old boy falls off roof while making a video

TikTok addiction seems to be on a high level. In June this year, it was reported that a 24-year old mother of two children committed suicide after she was prevented from using TikTok. This incident attracted massive criticism online. Now,*Odisha*Bytes claims that*a 19-year-old boy fell off a roof while making a video using the TikTok app.

The boy, who has been identified as Anil Gochayat, was then rushed to*Rourkela Government Hospital (RGH) for treatment. Despite this,*the boy created another video while undergoing treatment at the hospital, and uploaded on TikTok, as per the cited source. A few months back,*psychiatrists warned that digital addiction is real and it could be as dangerous as drug addiction.*The experts even explained how one can fight against TikTok or any digital addiction. The key to fighting this addiction is to realize the problem when someone develops it, the experts said.
