TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - The girl least likely - A linguistically informed media case review JO - Advances in mental health A1 - Li, T.C.W. SP - 190 EP - 194 VL - 10 IS - 2 N2 - This is a textual analysis of a television documentary about youth suicide informed by the Appraisal framework. It shows that depression is undoubtedly accepted as a medical condition that is potentially fatal. Psychosocial issues are mentioned in neutral stance without implications. An implicit attitude valuing positivism and productivity over depressed behaviour is evident. These issues are discussed in the context of mental health stigma. © eContent Management Pty Ltd.
