Summary
The concluding chapter of this monograph summarises the main findings from the preceding chapters and brings those findings together to establish overall patterns and trends in online discourses of anxiety. Concordant with our Critical Discourse Studies approach, these representations are then related to the contexts in which they are situated as well as their implications for understanding mental health in wider society. The chapter also critically reflects on the approach we took, the questions that emerged as a result of engaging with the corpus of forum posts and potential extensions to our study.
