What is the relationship between mental health and physical health?

The World Health Organization defines health as a state of physical, mental and social adaptation, not the absence of disease and weakness. From the definition of health by the World Health Organization, it is obviously different from our traditional understanding: it includes three basic elements: (1) physical health; (2) Mental health; (3) Social adaptability. Social adaptability is the first internationally recognized mental health standard. Comprehensive health includes physical health and mental health, which are closely related and inseparable. This is the essence of the concept of health.

Many people think that physical health and mental health are two unrelated concepts. In fact, this is not correct. In real life, mental health and physical health are interrelated and interactive, and mental health affects people's physical health all the time. If a person is withdrawn and psychologically depressed for a long time, it will affect the secretion of hormones in the body and reduce the resistance, and the disease will take advantage of it. If a healthy person always suspects that he has some kind of disease, he will be depressed all day and eventually get really sick.

Therefore, in daily life, on the one hand, we should pay attention to reasonable diet and physical exercise, on the other hand, we should cultivate our own sentiments, broaden our minds and avoid being in a tense mood for a long time. If you feel unhappy for a long time, you should make psychological self-adjustment in time and go to a psychological clinic or psychological counseling center for help when necessary to ensure your overall physical and mental health.

With the rapid development of natural science and the arrival of the information age, our society is undergoing unprecedented changes. The degree of industrialization, modernization, socialization and integration has been continuously improved; People's life is getting faster and faster, time is getting more and more precious, and people are increasingly driven by interests; There are more and more independent creative labor and advanced intellectual labor; The range of people's activities is constantly expanding, and there are more and more contacts between people. Dealing with subtle and complicated interpersonal relationships is inevitable for everyone. Competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the differences in income and social status between people are becoming more and more obvious.

In real life, there are many so-called normal people who are sad and irritable, live on sleeping pills, struggle in depression and despair for a long time, and even go to a dead end of suicide; Many people are accompanied by wine all day, get drunk at the touch, hit people and call names; There are many people who are hostile, contradictory, litigious and criminal; Many people often catch a cold, suffer from hypertension, arthritis and other non-organic diseases, and even die prematurely from terminal illness; Many people are incompetent, frustrated, down and out, and poor; Many students don't study well; Many people are troubled by sexual problems; Many people don't get along well with others and are suspicious all day. Many families are in trouble because of the mental illness of their members; Many couples disagree, quarrel, fight and divorce.

As mentioned above, each of us should be mentally healthy, but because of the psychological damage we have suffered in the course of life. The so-called normal people in life are actually not in the best state of people, but in the sub-health state between the best state of people and diseases. In fact, we are still far from what nature has given us.

Living in such a complicated and chaotic environment requires people to have high psychological quality to meet the requirements of the times and society. Now people have begun to realize the importance of mental health and pay more and more attention to the mental health of themselves and their relatives and friends who live with them day and night.

Let's use psychological science to maintain the mental health of relatives and friends, and work, live and enjoy life in a better physical and mental state.

Nutrients for men's mental health

1, vents and passages

No matter persuasion or masturbation, we can only temporarily alleviate the psychological contradiction, seek the superficial psychological balance, treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and moderately vent can cure the root cause. Of course, this kind of venting should be benign, based on the principle of not hurting others and society, otherwise it will lead to a vicious circle and bring more unhappiness. For example, you can play football when you are depressed, take it out on them, tell your relatives and friends what you don't like, and pour out your unhappiness. This is venting. At the same time, I hope someone can help me untie the knot in my heart or give me a good idea. Venting and grooming are both effective ways to maintain psychological balance. If the psychological burden is not vented or channeled for a long time, it will aggravate psychological contradictions and become psychological obstacles.

2. Love

Love can accompany a person's life. Childhood is mainly the love of parents, and childhood is the key period to cultivate people's mental health. If they don't get enough and correct parental love at this stage, it will affect their mental health development throughout their lives. Many adults' psychological barriers are related to the lack of parental love in childhood. Childhood increased the love of partners and teachers, especially the love of lovers in youth. Middle-aged people have great social responsibilities, and the love of colleagues, relatives and children is very important. They will increase young people's confidence and motivation in their careers and families, and make their lives full of joy and warmth. As for the key to the happiness of the elderly in their later years. Love has rich connotations, not only love, but also care, comfort, encouragement, reward, praise, trust, help and support. If a person can't get the love of others, especially relatives for a long time, his psychology will be unbalanced, which will lead to obstacles or diseases.

3. Firm beliefs and ideals

The power of faith and ideal is amazing, and it plays an important role in psychology. In the journey of life, we often encounter all kinds of setbacks and failures, and get into some unexpected difficulties. At this time, beliefs and ideals are like psychological balancers, which can help people maintain a stable state of mind, overcome setbacks, and prevent them from deviating from the track of life and entering the inner dark zone.

4. Good intentions and strategic criticism.

Will help people distinguish right from wrong, correct mistakes, and then constantly improve themselves. If a person is not criticized correctly for a long time, fanaticism will certainly breed problems such as complacency, stubbornness, arrogance and self-righteousness. These are all manifestations of unhealthy psychological development. However, too harsh criticism and accusations that hurt self-esteem will make people rebellious, and in serious cases, they will give up on themselves, break away from the collective and even be unable to extricate themselves. Therefore, when encountering this "psychological virus", we should be vigilant and enhance our psychological immunity. Usually, you should be close to knowledgeable, virtuous and trustworthy people, so it is easier to get this healthy "nutrient".

tolerate

Everything in life is inevitable and everything will be smooth sailing. Unnamed anger and depression often go hand in hand. Tolerance is a magic weapon to get rid of all kinds of troubles and relieve psychological pressure. But tolerance is not escape, he is open-minded and wise.

The key to maintaining mental health is to learn self-regulation, be good at controlling one's emotions, be self-reliant and conscious in psychological protection, take the initiative to supplement healthy mental nutrients for oneself, and provide "nutrients" for others when necessary to make oneself mentally healthy.
