Story Ideas (Sci Writ)

My blog had a conniption recently and apparently did not save the post that I did detailing my story ideas. Me and technology do not mix well apparently. 

I am interested in trying to work with a story about anxiety. It is a topic that has a lot of current research. Studies of the brain and how it works are always fascinating, especially when well written. Additionally, information about medications and their effects is equally interesting in my opinion. 

The "story" element would be fairly easy for me because I happen to have a severe anxiety disorder. I initially worried about working with a topic when I have "a dog in the fight", but as of right now I have little to no knowledge about the topic. And I don't really have any strong feelings towards any of the current medical opinions being thrown around. 

I am curious as to whether writing science writing in the first person can ever be a good idea. Is that too much of a personal investment? Or can a narrative carried by the author be more relate-able to a reader?
