In addition, people also explain it from different aspects. Some people think that mental health means that people can adapt to the environment efficiently and happily; Some people think that mental health should be a positive, rich and sustained mental state, in which it is well adapted and full of vitality, and can fully develop its physical and mental potential, not just the absence of mental illness; Others believe that mental health is characterized by the unity of enthusiasm, creativity and personality, enthusiasm for action and good social adaptability. It is generally believed that mental health can give full play to the individual's greatest potential and properly handle and adapt to the relationship between people and between people and social environment. Specifically, it includes two meanings: first, compared with most people, its psychological function is normal and there is no mental illness; Secondly, I can actively adjust my mental state, adapt to the environment and improve my personal life effectively and constructively. Based on the above point of view, we think that mental health refers to the harmony of body, mind and society in the process of adapting to the environment and maintaining good mental function.

Second, the general standard of mental health.
Based on various viewpoints and referring to real social life and people's psychological behavior, we should consider the mental health standards of modern people and young students from the following seven aspects;
1. Normal intelligence
Intelligence is the sum of all kinds of cognitive abilities and operational abilities with thinking ability as the core, and it is one of the most important signs to measure a person's mental health. Normal intelligence level is the most basic psychological condition for people to live, study and work. Generally speaking, the IQ is above 130, which is unusual; IQ above 90, normal; The IQ is between 70 and 89, and Asia is normal; IQ below 70 indicates mental retardation. It is difficult for people with mental retardation to adapt to social life and to complete their study or work tasks. Measuring a person's intellectual development level should be compared with peers, so as to find and prevent abnormal intellectual development as soon as possible. For example, too sensitive or slow to external stimuli, hallucinations in perception, delusions in thinking, etc. Are all manifestations of mental abnormality.
Keep a moderate mood
Moderate emotion means that emotion is caused by appropriate reasons; The duration of emotion changes with the change of objective situation; The mainstream of emotional activities is pleasant, joyful and stable. Some people think that happiness means mental health, just as body temperature means physical health. A person's moderate mood will make the whole body and mind in a positive state, full of confidence and hope for everything.
3. Voice will
Whether a person's will is sound or not is mainly manifested in the quality of will, which is the main standard to measure mental health, and the consciousness, decisiveness and tenacity of action are important signs of sound will. Action consciousness is to have a correct understanding of the purpose of one's actions and actively control one's actions in order to achieve the expected goals; Decisiveness in action means being good at distinguishing right from wrong and taking and implementing decisions appropriately and decisively; The tenacity of action is the indomitable spirit of overcoming difficulties, eliminating interference and sticking to the end in the process of decision-making and implementation.
Moderate reaction is the main component of sound will and one of the external manifestations of mental health. Moderate reaction shows that human behavior is coordinated, which is mainly manifested as follows: consciousness is consistent with behavior, that is, words and deeds are consistent; Reasonable and flexible; In the same or similar situation, the behavioral response conforms to the situation, neither excessive nor sudden.
4. Unity of personality
Personality refers to a person's overall mental outlook, that is, the sum of psychological characteristics with a certain tendency. The characteristics of personality do not exist in isolation, but are organically combined into an interrelated whole, which regulates people's behavior. If the relationship between various components is coordinated, human behavior is normal; If it is unbalanced, it will lead to split personality and abnormal behavior. Dual personality or multiple personality is the manifestation of split personality. Once a person's personality is formed, it has the characteristics of relative stability. Therefore, the formation of a unified and coordinated personality and the formation of a disabled and disorderly personality have completely different effects on psychological development and spiritual expression.
5. Harmonious interpersonal relationship
Interpersonal harmony is an important standard of mental health and one of the important conditions for maintaining mental health. Interpersonal harmony is manifested in the following aspects: in interpersonal communication, psychological compatibility, mutual acceptance and respect, rather than psychological conflict, mutual exclusion and degradation; Sincere and kind to people's feelings, not indifferent, sadistic and harmful; Focus on collective interests and care about dedication, not private words, harming others and benefiting themselves, and so on.
6. Harmony with society
People with mental health should keep good contact with the society, know the society and understand it, so that their thoughts, beliefs, goals and actions can keep pace with the development of the times and coordinate with the progress and development of the society. If there are contradictions and conflicts with the progress and development of society, we should adjust, modify or abandon our plans and actions in time to conform to the historical trend, instead of escaping from reality, being pessimistic and disappointed, or being arrogant, going its own way and moving against the historical trend.
7. Psychological characteristics are consistent with age characteristics.
A person's life includes different age stages, and each age stage shows corresponding qualitative characteristics, which are called psychological age characteristics. The development of a person's psychological behavior always changes with age. If a person's cognition, emotion, speech and behavior basically conform to his age characteristics, it is a manifestation of mental health; If you seriously deviate from the corresponding age characteristics, your development is seriously lagging behind or ahead, which is the performance of abnormal behavior and mental health.
