Sociologiska aspekter kring psykisk ohälsa och suicid : En kritisk diskursanalys av regeringens och SKR:s överenskommelse kring psykisk hälsa och suicid

Sammanfattning: This qualitative study reviews the document “Insatser inom området psykisk hälsa och suicidprevention 2023" published on the government´s website. This is done with the purpose of identifying and problematizing how risk groups are presented in the government and SALAR's document regarding mental illness and suicide. Furthermore, the document also examines and problematized whether sociological factors emerge as the underlying reasons why certain groups are identified as riskgroups. By using critical discourse analysis as a method of analysis, risk groups can be demonstrated, sociological factors identified, and the document critiqued. In Sweden, the state has overall responsibility for mental health and together with Sweden's municipalities and regions, the government has entered into an agreement, which is presented in the analysed document. The result we found is that the risk groups identified are not presented specifically as risk groups in the document. What the document focuses on is that certain interventions should be put in place for these individuals without any direct interventions being specified. During the work on the critical discourse analysis, it has become clear that the document lacks important information that makes credibility disappear. The document feels like a compilation of previous information as they talk about the shortcomings that exist for mental illness and suicide prevention, although this is not a single reference in the document.
