Common mental health problems of senior high school students and their counseling strategies

"Health is not only the absence of physical diseases, but also a state of good physical, psychological and social functions." In other words, health not only refers to physical and physiological health, but also refers to mental health. With the vigorous development of China's social economy and education, and the deepening of quality education and curriculum reform, the mental health problems of middle school students, especially high school students, have gradually attracted attention and attention from all sides.

First, the current mental health problems of high school students

1. Learning problems

After entering high school, students are facing a major turning point in their lives-the college entrance examination. Under the pressure of entering a higher school, students generally have a heavy learning burden and can't mediate in time, which leads to listlessness, loss of appetite, neurasthenia and slow thinking. Even some students with weak psychological endurance (not limited to good students and bad students) will have serious weariness of learning.

2. Communication problems

In senior high school, students' interpersonal relationships can be divided into three types: (1) and teachers. Students hope to get the teacher's care and understanding, but if they don't get it, or even get the teacher's accusation, they will have a confrontational psychology of incomprehension and distrust, resulting in depression and negative emotions. (2) with students. Everyone needs a sense of belonging, and students also want to be needed by their own collective. The contradiction between students will lead to students' tension and loneliness. (3) Being with parents. Senior three students have a strong sense of autonomy and often have conflicts with their parents, which cannot be solved well. There are also single-parent families, parents' discord and so on, which will all cause psychological harm to students.

3. The problem of adolescence

The first is closed psychology, which is a universal and special symbol of adolescent psychology. Under negative emotions, students will close any psychological communication with the outside world; Secondly, it is emotional agitation but implicit, which is manifested in students' inner emotional excitement, or excitement, or happiness, or distress and depression, and they want to talk, but they are awkward to teachers and parents, depressed and anxious; Finally, it is a common problem of puppy love, especially for high school students, who are in adolescence and are prone to hazy love.

Second, counseling strategies for high school students' mental health problems

1. Guide students to objectively evaluate, correctly understand and effectively adapt to reality.

High school students, with limited cognitive level, cannot make timely and correct judgments in the face of objective facts. Whether the evaluation is too high or too low, it will lead to disharmony between subjective and objective, which will lead to unsatisfied needs and psychological problems. Therefore, teachers must help and guide students to look at themselves correctly and evaluate society. Teachers, first of all, should give appropriate analysis and evaluation to students' behaviors, and should not blindly deny them. They should strengthen students' self-awareness, guide students to learn to adjust their emotions, and know how to tap their potential. Secondly, we should also let students look at reality correctly, face reality directly and face difficulties; For parents, we should treat students' grades and puppy love correctly, guide them correctly and reduce their pressure.

2. Strengthen the cultivation of students' good study methods and habits.

In senior high school, study pressure is the main source of students' psychological pressure. When entering senior high school, students are faced with the "college entrance examination", which not only aggravates their studies, but also raises the requirements for students' self-study ability. Many students can't adjust their study habits and methods, and can't adapt to the study in senior high school, which leads to the decline of academic performance, the aggravation of study pressure, and the anxiety and weariness of learning. At this time, teachers need to guide students' learning methods in time, guide students to make learning plans, preview before class, summarize after class, arrange the time of study and play reasonably, use their brains scientifically and combine work and rest. Persevere, develop good study habits, and effectively relieve students' study pressure and anxiety.

3. Strengthen the cultivation of students' psychological quality, competitive consciousness and self-confidence.

Most of the new students do well in their studies. By junior high school, they had a sense of superiority. They can accept success, but they can't afford failure. After entering high school, all aspects have changed, and the sense of superiority of "should" has been dampened, which leads to the imbalance of students' individual desires and psychological obstacles. Therefore, in senior high school, teachers should not only pay attention to students' learning situation, but also do a good job in counseling students' psychological obstacles. Strengthen the training of students' psychological quality, enhance their sense of competition, cultivate their resilience, good will and moral character, guide them to face up to the pressure and improve their psychological endurance.

In addition, we should combine school and family education to find students' psychological problems in time and do a good job of psychological counseling in time.
