One of the misunderstandings: Only patients with mental disorders should pay attention to mental health, and there is no problem with their own psychology, so there is no need to consider mental health issues.
Mental health is a common need of people, not just a problem of some people. It is true that the normal life of mental disorders or mental patients has been seriously affected by psychological problems, and has reached the point of "being cured" (such as social phobia, anxiety, mental illness, etc. ), the demand for mental health is more urgent, but this is only a low-level mental health emotion.
As an activity, the task of mental health is not only to overcome psychological barriers or mental diseases for some people, but also to help people cultivate and maintain a sound personality and healthy psychological and social activities, so that people can maintain their physical and mental health in their study, work, life and creative activities and be in a perfect state of health. Therefore, no matter who and when, we should not ignore our mental health. Mental health, like physical health and physical health care, will accompany each of us for life. Healthy psychology is a sign of social progress. With the development of society and the improvement of material living standards, people will pay more attention to the quality of spiritual life and have more urgent requirements for mental health.
Myth 2: Mental health is the pursuit of perfection, which is difficult for normal people to achieve.
Many scholars have put forward different standards about mental health. Some people find that they can't meet the requirements in many aspects, so they think that mental health is unattainable and lose confidence in mental health. This tendency to pursue perfection is also unacceptable. In fact, mental health only describes people's psychological performance or development level in a certain social environment in a certain period, and there is no absolute standard. Moreover, people's understanding of mental health keeps pace with the times and varies from place to place. Different periods and different social environments should have different mental health scales. In a certain social environment in a certain period of time, most people should be psychologically healthy, and after all, only a few are unhealthy. As long as you can keep harmony with the surrounding environment, get along well with people and have a positive attitude towards life and life goals, you should have a healthy psychology, which is not difficult to achieve through hard work.
