Maria Mattsson wants to tell about her son Arvid's care before he died in the hope that something changes. Arvid had since his teenage years been bounced between open and closed psychiatric care.
He underwent investigations and was diagnosed among other things with ADHD. The mother reports that the investigations did not lead to any treatment. She quoted her son saying, 'When he has been admitted he said that "I walk back and forth in a narrow corridor and don't get to meet the doctors".
When he has been admitted he said that 'I walk back and forth in a narrow corridor and don't get to meet the doctors'. He did not perceive that he got any help.
' The exact circumstances and cause of Arvid's death have not been disclosed. There is a psychiatry crisis in Norrbotten, according to sources. A testimony from closed care at Sunderbyn describes being 'relieved to have survived'.
Data shows that 11 out of 25 perpetrators had contact with psychiatry before the violent acts. What specific treatments were lacking for Arvid despite his ADHD diagnosis remains unclear.
