“…The unexplained becomes explained, and management is defined” (p. 1). When diagnoses are stymied by frustrating encounters with institutional actors, harm may occur ( Chiaraluce, in press ). Codified diagnoses serve a variety of positive functions that are practical (i.e., diagnoses grant insurance coverage and access to vital healthcare resources), psychological by validating individual struggles with impacts on self-identity and well-being, and social by exploring to what extent such trauma might be carried by members of the population at large.…”

Using a social diagnosis approach to COVID-19-related trauma, this research bridges the fields of sociology of medicine, disaster response, digital sociology, and digital divides. Bringing these literatures into dialogue, we problematize the digitally mediated trauma ensuing from COVID-19. We unpack two emergent media pathways or channels to a social diagnosis of trauma specific to sharp increase in reliance on digital media occasioned by the pandemic. The research advances the theoretical concept of the digital media trauma paradox in which trauma ensues from both oversaturation from toxic digital content and exclusion from digital resources. In either case, digital media engagements may act as a social determinant of health, particularly digital inequalities to co-occur with other forms of disadvantage. The research closes by arguing that social diagnosis approaches are an excellent tool to understand the complexities of disaster response in the digital age.
