Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Social media is increasingly being adopted in health discourse.  examine the role played by identity in supporting discourse on socially stigmatized conditions. Specifically,  focus on mental health communities on reddit.  investigate the characteristics of mental health discourse manifested through reddit's characteristic 'throwaway' accounts, which are used as proxies of anonymity. For the purpose,  propose affective, cognitive, social, and linguistic style measures, drawing from literature in psychology.  observe that mental health discourse from throwaways is considerably disinhibiting and exhibits increased negativity, cognitive bias and self-attentional focus, and lored self-esteem. Throwaways also seem to be six times more prevalent as an identity choice on mental health forums, compared to other reddit communities.  discuss the implications of our work in guiding mental health interventions, and in the design of online communities that can better cater to the needs of vulnerable populations.  conclude with thoughts on the role of identity manifestation on social media in behavioral therapy.
