"Accepting the Poem of Destiny": Identity Reconstruction in a Chinese Online Depression Community.
Qual Health Res
October 2024
Foreign Studies College, Hunan Normal University, Changsha, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The article examines how online health communities serve as platforms for people with depression to share their experiences, using digital narratives to explore identity reconstruction based on the communication theory of identity (CTI).
- - Members of a Chinese online depression community expressed various identities, categorized into four levels: personal (e.g., "laggard" and "pioneer"), enacted (e.g., "idler" and "fighter"), relational (e.g., "stress-maker" and "escaper"), and communal (e.g., support providers and receivers).
- - The study reveals that these narratives challenge the stigmatized perception of depression by highlighting the complex, multifaceted nature of individuals' experiences, helping them form connections and solidarity within a marginalized community
