Generally speaking, people's mental health can be divided into two categories: normal psychology and abnormal psychology, that is, what we usually say is not sick or sick. According to the degree of mental health, mental normality can be divided into two categories: mental health and mental unhealthy. General psychological problems, serious psychological problems and suspected neurosis can all belong to the category of unhealthy psychology and normal psychology. Serious psychological problems that cannot be cured by themselves may develop in the direction of psychological abnormality. Suspected neurosis should be identified by a professional psychologist. What psychological counselors should pay special attention to is interview, or intervention or referral, depending on their own ability and experience. Those who can't identify should be referred to a professional psychologist.
First, three principles to distinguish normal psychology from abnormal psychology:
(a), the principle of unity of the subjective world and the objective world:
Psychotic hallucination is the perception of no object, and delusion is the morbid thinking divorced from reality. If a person hears others talking about him and speaking ill of him, and firmly believes that someone is hurting him, attacking him and slandering him, he will feel very angry and miserable. In our opinion, there is no factual basis at all, and the feelings reflected by such people are not understood. Therefore, it is judged that this person is mentally abnormal. His subjective world and objective world are not unified. More common in schizophrenia.
(2), the internal coordination principle of psychological activities:
The harmony of knowledge, emotion, will and action is the overall expression of people's spiritual activities, and a person's psychological process is consistent in the consistency of inner experience and environment.
