Temadagur um ADHD(English below)
Einki vísindaligt grundarlag finst fyri nógvum av tí, vit oftast hoyra um ADHD. Hvussu navigera vit sum myndugleikar, fakfólk, avvarðandi og ikki minst, persónar við diagnosuni, í stóru óvissuni kring ADHD-hugtakið?
Kom við til ein áhugaverdan seinnapart, har vit seta sjóneykuna á ADHD, og lat teg annaðhvørt avbjóða ella styrkjast í tínum illgruna.
Temadagurin er fyriskipaður av Gitte Klein og Suna Poulsen.
Galdandi ADHD fatanin er ov einføld
Almenna frágreiðingin um, hvat ADHD er, er alt ov einføld. ADHD verður lýst sum eitt viðføtt og sera arvaligt menningarórógv í heilanum, ið ein hevur alt lívið. Orsøkin til, at talið á teimum, ið fáa diagnosuna er fleirfaldað, seinastu árini, er, tí diagnosan ikki er vorðin viðurkend fyrr, og at mong tí enn eru ódiagnostiserað. Vit hoyra um ymiskar stuðuls- og viðgerðarhættir, har hin munabesti skal vera heilivágur. Víst verður til, hvussu týdningarmikið tað er, at útgreina skjótast til ber, so sleppast kann undan sera óhepnu avleiðingunum av manglandi diagnostisering.
Men hvat um søgan, í veruleikanum, er ein onnur?
Atfinningarnar móti hesi vælkendu fatanini, eru líka gamlar sum ADHD-hugtakið sjálvt, og tær seta fleiri spurnartekn við fatanina, m.a. um tað yvirhøvur gevur meining at tosa um ADHD sum eina diagnosu? Er nakað vísindaligt grundarlag fyri at siga, at ADHD er eitt viðføtt menningarórógv í heilanum? Ella er støðan heldur tann, at henda fatanin forðar okkum at skilja, hví børn og ung, í veruleikanum, mistrívast, og sostatt hvussu vit hjálpa teimum best? Hjálpir heilivágur, ella ger hann kanska størri skaða enn gagn, í longdini? Hvørjar avleiðingar hevur tað at siga við fólk, at teirra avbjóðingar stava frá einum genetiskum menningarórógvi, ið er partur av teimum alt lívið? Og ikki minst, er økta talið á teimum, ið fáa diagnosu, farið heilt av sporinum?
Vit leggja fyri við einum áhugaverdum fyrilestri, ið enski sálarlæknin, Sami Timimi heldur. Timimi er ein av atfinningarsomu røddunum, og hann hevur skrivað fleiri bøkur og vísindaligar greinir um ADHD diagnosuna; m.a metsølubókina Searhing for Normal - A new approach to Understanding Mental Health, Distress and Neurodiversity. Tú kanst lesa meiri um hann her: www.samitimimi.co.uk
Eftir fyrilesturin er ein støðgur, har vit leska okkum við kaffi, te og ábiti.
Vit halda áfram við styttri framløgum, har føroyskir myndugleikar og stovnar geva sítt íkast til týdningarmikla kjakið um ADHD diagnosu og viðgerð. Skal ráðandi lívfrøðiliga-medisinska fatanin av ADHD framhaldandi avgera, hvussu vit hjálpa børnum og ungum sum eldri? Ella skulu vit lata atfinningarsomu røddirnar og ymiskleikan fáa størri rúmd? Er man farin at ivast – líkasum eitt nú myndugleikar í Danmark og Onglandi?
Yvirskipaða endamálið við tiltakinum er at skapa eitt opið og virðiligt kjak um ymsu sjónarmiðini kring ADHD. Fyriskiparin vónar, at tiltakið elvir til, at rúm eisini er fyri atfinningarsomum røddum. Tær atfinningarsomu røddirnar eru nevniliga her, og tær hvørva ikki.

The Full Story of ADHD
ADHD focus day
There is no scientific basis for much of what we commonly hear about ADHD. How do we, as authorities, professionals, relatives, and not least people with the diagnosis, navigate the great uncertainty surrounding the concept of ADHD?
Join us for an engaging afternoon with focus on ADHD – and allow yourself to be either challenged or strengthened in your doubts.
The prevailing understanding of ADHD is too simplistic
The public explanation of what ADHD is is far too simple. ADHD is described as an innate and highly hereditary developmental disorder in the brain that one has throughout life. The reason the number of people receiving the diagnosis has multiplied in recent years is said to be that the diagnosis was not previously recognized and that many therefore, remain undiagnosed. We hear about various support and treatment methods, with medication presented as the most effective. It is emphasized how important it is to diagnose as early as possible in order to avoid the serious consequences of late or missing diagnosis.
But what if the real story is different?
Criticism of this well-known understanding is as old as the ADHD concept itself, and it raises several questions – including whether it even makes sense to speak of ADHD as a diagnosis at all. Is there any scientific basis for claiming that ADHD is an innate brain-development disorder? Or does this understanding prevent us from seeing why children and young people actually struggle – and therefore how we can best help them? Does medication help, or might it, in the long run, cause more harm than good? What are the consequences of telling people that their challenges stem from a genetic developmental disorder that is part of them for life? And not least: Has the rise in diagnoses gone completely off track?
We begin with an interesting lecture by the British psychiatrist Sami Timimi. Timimi is one of the critical voices, and he has written several books and scientific articles about the ADHD diagnosis, including the bestseller Searching for Normal – A new approach to Understanding Mental Health, Distress and Neurodiversity. You can read more about him here: www.samitimimi.co.uk
After the lecture, there will be a break with coffee, tea, and light refreshments.
We continue with short presentations where Faroese authorities and institutions contribute to the important debate about the ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Should the dominant biological-medical understanding of ADHD continue to determine how we help children, young people, and adults? Or should the critical voices and diversity be given more space? Are we beginning to see doubt – like authorities in, for example, Denmark and England?
The purpose of the event is to create an open and respectful debate about the different perspectives surrounding ADHD. The organizer hopes the event will help ensure that there is also space for the critical voices – because they are here, and they will not disappear.
