Joana Marques presented this Thursday, under the heading ‘Extremely Unpleasant’, from Rádio Renascença, TikToker Alice Santos Portuguese who do not consume content on social networks.

The young Portuguese woman dominated this same digital platform in recent weeks due to some controversial advice she decided to give about depression. A cybernaut wanted to know Alice’s opinion on antidepressants and anxiolytics and the answer ended up going viral.

“I think there’s nothing better than exercising, having good nutrition and getting some sun. This is the best antidepressant anyone can take”said the young woman, explaining afterwards that, in her opinion, “nor should it be allowed to recommend antidepressants”.

The influencer believes that these medications “make worse” in situations of depression and that the focus should be “nutrition”, which she says is “probably the number one reason why people have depression”.

The comment box for this video promptly received messages in an ironic tone: “Do you have asthma? Breathe”; “Are you sick? Eat some spinach”; and “Do you have anxiety attacks? Do sit-ups” are just a few examples.

Alice, upon realizing the dimension her statements had taken, decided to deactivate her TikTok account but, a few days later, she resumed posting videos on this social network and reinforced, on several other occasions, her opinion on this topic.

“I thought that if I talked about these topics, if I started sharing more things about my lifestyle – which is not normal here in Portugal – that there would definitely be some excitement, but I never thought it would be like that”began by telling the content creator in an interview with youtuber Bruno Dias Mestre.

“I didn’t even know what was going on (…) The other people were watching my videos and came to me to ask if I was okay”, he also reported, explaining that he only realized that the controversy was installed sometime time after.

On TikTok, Alice Santos already has more than 73 thousand and 500 followers, while on Instagram she has more than 24 thousand.
