1, generally normal psychology: manifested as always happy and satisfied, adaptable and good at getting along with others. I can better complete the activities that my peers should do at their development level, and I have the ability to withstand setbacks and adjust emotions.
2. Mild disorder psychology: I feel a little difficult to get along with others without the happiness and satisfaction that my peers should have, and it is a little difficult to cope with life and work independently. If you can take the initiative to adjust or ask professionals for help, you can return to normal.
3. Severe morbid psychology: manifested as obvious maladjustment, long-term stuck in negative emotions such as anxiety and pain, which seriously affects normal life and work. If it is not corrected in time, it will develop into a mental patient.
First, the standard of mental health.
The first category thinks that the behavior and psychological activities of most people in society have an average value, which is the normal standard.
The second category holds that the abnormality of psychological behavior is mainly for self-comparison, and a common behavior pattern formed by everyone in previous lives is the normal standard.
The third category thinks that people's psychological behavior should have an ideal standard, which can be expressed quantitatively like normal physiological indicators.
Second, the basic principles of judging mental health
The normal standard of psychological activities should be based on psychological principles, and whether psychology is healthy or not should be analyzed from the characteristics of psychological activities themselves. Based on this principle, the following three standards can be used for reference.
1, the identity of psychological activities and objective environment
Psychology is a reflection of objective reality, and any normal psychological activity and behavior must be consistent with the objective environment in form and content, that is, identification. As long as people's psychology and behavior lose their identity with the external environment, they cannot be understood.
Some previous viewpoints mentioned that the average value of people's psychology and behavior or ordinary behavior patterns are included in this identification standard, which is broader than these two concepts.
2. Coordination and consistency between psychological processes.
A person's psychological activities such as cognition, emotion and will are a complete and coordinated unity, and there is a coordinated relationship between various psychological processes, which ensures the high accuracy and effective performance of individuals in reflecting the objective world.
3. Relative stability of personality characteristics
Individuals will form their own unique psychological characteristics in the process of long-term life experience. This personality trait is relatively stable after it is formed, and it is generally not easy to change without major external changes.
If the relative stability of this personality changes without obvious external reasons, it is necessary to doubt whether this person's psychological activities are abnormal.
For example, if a warm and hearty person suddenly becomes indifferent and silent, and there is no reason in his living environment to promote this change, it is necessary to consider that he has abnormal psychological activities.
