People with normal psychology have no mental illness, that is, they don't need to go to the hospital psychiatric department. They can solve it through self-psychological adjustment. If you can't solve it yourself, it's unhealthy to ask for help from a professional psychological counselor.
People with abnormal psychology show that they have mental illness, and self-psychological adjustment cannot be solved. They must go to the psychiatric department of the hospital to see a doctor and take medicine.
2. Criteria for distinguishing normal psychology from abnormal psychology:
The standard of psychological abnormality: psychological problems have lasted for more than three months, and individual psychological conflicts have been formed, and social communication has been seriously damaged.
Mental disorders are divided into cognitive disorders (perceptual disorders, thinking disorders, attention and memory disorders, insight disorders) and mental disorders (mental disorders such as schizophrenia and paranoia, manic depression, neurosis, stress disorders, personality disorders, insomnia, hysteria and other psychological and physiological disorders).
3. Mental health and mental unhealthy belong to the category of normal psychology:
People with normal psychology may have psychological problems due to social adaptation problems, such as nervousness, anxiety, fantasy, suspicion and doubt, which are very common in today's society.
People with psychological problems can be identified as mentally unhealthy. The unhealthy spirit here does not have the concepts of social morality and social public order and good customs, that is, it does not mean psychological filth and psychopathy, but only refers to psychological problems.
The psychological problems here are different from the psychopathy in daily oral English. Clinical psychopathy is a mental illness.
Psychological unhealthy here is equivalent to psychological problems, which are generally divided into general psychological problems, serious psychological problems and neurotic psychological problems (suspected neurosis). Suspicious neurosis is the edge of mental illness. If a person's psychological self-regulation is not good and can not be solved, psychological problems will continue to develop, and then enter neuropsychological diseases, forming psychological abnormalities.
