Abstract [en]

This study aims to describe and understand the phenomenon of obtaining an established neuropsychiatric functional variation (NPF) diagnosed in adulthood. The study has been based on a phenomenological starting point and lifeworld approach to further implement KASAM as a theory to clarify the signification of meaning, which is also central in both phenomenology and in the lifeworld perspective. The data collection consists of four open conversations with participants who describe their witness experiences. How the participants experienced the phenomenon is the material that forms the basis for the analysis process and which has created the essential features and the general structure. Previous research draws attention to e.g. the importance of getting your NPF diagnosis given at an early age to reduce the risk factors that come with living unaware of your NPF diagnosis. The present study confirms what previous research reports but draws attention to the understanding of how people themselves have experienced obtaining an established NPF diagnosis in adulthood. The phenomenon in the present study consists of four essential features: the importance of interaction, understanding oneself, the orderly process rooted in the individual and recognition. The general structure was discussed in relation to the essential features and based on our purpose, to describe the importance of the meaning of the dichotomy and understand body and soul as a whole unit.
