1, the importance of mental health
Most people have healthy psychological function in most cases, but under certain conditions, their psychology may be abnormal.
When the abnormality reaches a certain level, it will constitute an obstacle, and the serious obstacle is mental illness.
From the perspective of big data, men and women are equal in the incidence of psychological disorders.
The World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a survey on female psychological disorders and found some special phenomena.
Depression accounts for nearly 465,438+0.9% of female neuropsychiatric disorders, while male patients only account for 29.3%.
The main mental health problems of the elderly are depression, brain organic syndrome and dementia. Most of them are women.
About 80% of the 50 million people who have suffered from violent conflicts, wars, disasters and displacement are women and children.
The lifetime prevalence of female victims of violence ranges from 16% to 50%.
At least one in five women has suffered sexual assault or attempted sexual assault in her life.
The investigation of various scenes in different countries shows that depression, anxiety, psychological distress, sexual violence, domestic violence and substance addiction have a greater impact on women.
In modern society, women generally assume social work roles similar to those of men. At the same time, however, women also bear the responsibilities in the family. Women are facing all kinds of pressures, so mental health is very important.
2. Female mental health risks
■ First, the pressure of family roles on women's division of labor.
Women are often the main bearers of housework. Although the progress of science and technology reduces the intensity of housework and saves time, the role of women in the family tends to traditional values to some extent.
■ Second, the pressure of social work is increasing.
The social evaluation system does not particularly reflect gender differences, so women and men face similar work pressure and competitive situation, and even face greater competitive pressure in the workplace. In order to prove their ability, women strive for independence and overwork, which is easy to cause physical and mental health hazards.
3. Women's mental health standards
■ Love life: Women with mental health are full of hope and confidence in life, often get up with hope and go to sleep with a smile, and often feel that they are valuable to society and family. Love what you are doing, and be able to regard the fruits of labor and the success of your career as the highest value. In real life, no matter whether the environment is good or bad or the conditions are good or bad, we can proceed from reality and cope with it freely. Don't be afraid or run away from difficulties. Face up to reality, transform reality, and have the ability to coordinate multiple roles.
■ Accepting others: mentally healthy women are good at getting along with others, like others, tolerate others, have intimate friends, and maintain good interpersonal relationships with people around them.

Not only have the courage to admit their own shortcomings, but also are willing to constantly strive for self-improvement.
■ Emotional stability: Women with mental health and emotional stability always focus on positive and optimistic emotions. I can adjust myself in negative emotional states such as anxiety, nervousness and fear, and I won't be hurt by impulsiveness, and I won't worry about difficulties and setbacks.
■ Sound will: The quality of people's will is the main basis for measuring sound will. The quality of will includes consciousness, decisiveness, tenacity and self-control of will.
