  • World Health Day - Fanny Edenroth Cato researches young people's mental well-being

    On the occasion of World Health Day and the European Commission's work to "break the stigma for those suffering from mental illness", attention is drawn here to research on how diagnosis stories about autism and ADHD, among other things, are increasingly used as an explanation for norm-breaking behaviors in our time and that stigmatization often affects both adults and young people, but takes different forms. In a course book called Ungas villkor och vuxenblivande (2024, ed. Linnéa Bruno), Fanny Edenroth Cato has written a chapter titled “Neuropsychiatric diagnoses – stories, conditions and identity formation” about how gender, age and functionality become important in terms of people's stories about autism spectrum diagnoses and ADHD/ADD.
