Abstract [en]

Although young people in Sweden report that they are in good health, thereis an increase in self-reported complaints such as feeling low and nervous.The complaints are reported as poor mental health. However, there is uncertainty regarding what these complaints signify. Using interviews withfifteen-year-olds, this research examines what the complaints asked for inthe Health Behavior in School-Aged Children survey represent in their lives.The analysis starts from a theoretical understanding of young people ashealth actors. It demonstrates that while the complaints represent everydayproblems for some young people, they represent deep-seated problems forothers. The results demonstrate the importance of acknowledging this duality otherwise everyday managing of life risk being pathologized and moreserious problems risk being overlooked.

Abstract [sv]

Mätningar av ungas psykiska hälsa i Sverige visar på motstridiga uppgifter;unga markerar hög livstillfredsställelse samtidigt som de uppger besvär somnedstämdhet och nervositet. I forskningsrapporter och media rapporterasbesvären som psykisk ohälsa. Det är emellertid svårt att veta vad besvärenrepresenterar. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vad besvären som efterfrågas i enkäten Skolbarns hälsovanor representerar i ungas liv. Studienbaseras på intervjuer med ungdomar i årskurs 9 och en teoretisk förståelseav barn och unga som hälsoaktörer. Analysen visar att medan besvären representerar vardagliga problem för en del ungdomar, representerar de djupgående problem för andra. Resultaten pekar på betydelsen av att uppmärksamma den här dubbelheten. I annat fall riskerar vardagliga utmaningar attpatologiseras och mer allvarliga problem att förbises.
