The difference between mental health standards and normal psychology and abnormal psychology

The standard of mental health is:

1, intelligence standard. Normal intelligence is the most basic mental health condition for people's normal life, and good intelligence level is the psychological basis for all social people's academic success and career success. Expressed by IQ value. IQ greater than 90 is normal, IQ less than 70 is mentally retarded. People with abnormal intelligence can't be mentally healthy, but IQ can't explain a person's achievements, and high IQ can't guarantee mental health. Therefore, people with high IQ should not gloat.

2. Emotional standards. Emotion refers to people's subjective experience of whether objective things meet their own needs. Emotional stability and happiness are signs of emotional health, and emotional changes should be caused by appropriate reasons and have appropriate emotional response.

3. Will standard: refers to the psychological process that people consciously determine the activity goal, dominate their own actions, and overcome many difficulties to achieve the predetermined goal. Will is the ladder to success in doing anything. If you are too indecisive, hesitant, thoughtful or reckless, hasty, etc. , is a sign of unhealthy will.

4. Social adaptability standard: Good social adaptability mainly includes ① the ability to adapt to the natural environment; (2) can establish positive and harmonious interpersonal relationships, can adapt to the surrounding interpersonal relationships. Interpersonal relationships are both therapeutic and pathogenic. Therefore, harmonious interpersonal relationship is necessary for physical and mental health. ③ Ability to handle and cope with family, school and social life. Such as decision-making, problem solving, critical thinking, emotional control, psychological transposition, interpersonal communication and other abilities.

5. "Ideal me" and "realistic me" are basically the same. Studies have proved that the failure to effectively face the reality and deal with the relationship with the surrounding environment is an important cause of mental disorders and mental diseases. Therefore, we should face the reality, grasp the reality and actively adapt to it. The characteristics of psychological activities should conform to the characteristics of age and gender. People go through different age stages in their life, and each age stage has its own characteristics.

6. Focus. Attention is the psychological guarantee for the success of all activities. If a person lacks the ability of concentration and stability, he can't complete purposeful activities well, such as ADHD in children and anxiety and depression in adults. Generally, the continuous attention time of 5 ~ 7 years old is about 15 minutes; 7 ~ 10 years old is 20 minutes; 10 ~ 12 years old is 25 minutes; 02+30 minutes, or even more.

7. A sound personality. The ultimate goal of mental health is to maintain the integrity of personality. A healthy personality means being tolerant, accepting and friendly to others, not haggling over every ounce, not complaining about others, not being picky in every way, that is, having self-knowledge and being able to evaluate yourself correctly. That is to have a correct outlook on life and values.

There are many ways to distinguish normal from abnormal.

Some are common sense. Let's see how they are different from normal people. There are non-standard distinctions judged from the perspective of statistics/anthropology/sociology/psychiatry/cognitive psychology. At present, standardized distinctions are three principles.

Suggestion: 1. The principle of unity of subject and object (self-knowledge)

For example, objective people can only walk on the ground. If someone subjectively thinks that seeing people floating in the air is an illusion, the subjective consciousness cannot realize the objective reality.

2. The principle of internal coordination of psychological activities.

People's cognition, emotion, will and behavior should be integrated.

For example, when a family member dies, they laugh loudly. When they should be sad, happiness has no internal consistency.

3. The principle of relative stability of personality

Everyone's personality is very stable. The so-called leopard cannot change his spots, but if he suddenly looks like a different person, it is a sudden change of personality.

For example, an introverted and cautious person suddenly becomes an extroverted and careless person.
