Analysis of Twitter Related to Eating and Mental Disorders
Abstract
The study aims to examine the Eating disorder (ED) and Mental disorder (MD) related tweets that increase the volume and distribution of Twitter conversations and explore what content produces high attention on Twitter. We explore 35,440 ED and 14,800 MD related Tweets from 18 December 2019- 14 January 2020. Topic modeling (LDA) is applied to identify different topics discussed in the tweets. Our analysis identifies eleven topics, which are group into five main themes (Education and Treatment, Social Media, Personnel Experience, Mentally Suffer, MD types) for MDs and six main themes (Body Image, ED types, Education and Treatment, Social Media, Personnel Experience, Stigma attitude) for ED. The top topic category is Treatment and Support in MD and Education and Treatment in ED.
