Thesis statements for research papers on generalized anxiety disorder

Question

What would be a good thesis statement for a research paper on generalized anxiety disorder?

Answer 1

I find it easier to make thesis statements into an opinion, because having a stance and an emotion and tapping into my stubbornness really gives me energy! May not work for everyone but I find a bit of fun in most assignments this way. I like to picture the person who will disagreeing with me and now I have a whole research paper to prove them wrong.

You can also leave room for a call to action by the conclusion by setting yourself at the beginning. Would love to hear what opinions you have about GAD. Usually you do have one, but the work is trying to get it to be specific enough to have a single direction but broad enough to write a whole paper on.

Answer 2

Hi! It may be helpful to remember that a quality thesis statement, regardless of the topic will meet certain criteria. For example, it should be very clear and focused on a narrow topic and be a statement that is arguable *(so that someone could argue for or against it with evidence and support). The statement should also be written in a way that conveys your position on the argument.

There could be endless possibilities here but maybe for a paper covering GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) one could pose a thesis statement such as, " A diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder in an individual increases the chances of physical health complications" or "Generalized anxiety disorder has very serious implications for women in particular".

Whichever thesis statement you come up with, just be sure that you can find enough scholarly resources to support your position. Good luck!
