A healthy mental state, mental health refers to normal spirit and activities and good psychological quality. Most of them are related to heredity. I can live a plain life and bear all kinds of events. Let's share a healthy mental state with you. Come and have a look.
A healthy mental state 1 What is the standard to measure a healthy mental state?
Psychologists describe the standards of mental health as follows:
1, with a moderate sense of security, self-esteem and a sense of value for self-achievement.
2, moderate self-criticism, don't be too boastful and don't be too hard on yourself.
In my daily life, I have moderate initiative and am not affected by the environment.

5, moderately accept personal needs, and have the ability to meet this demand.

7, can maintain the integrity and harmony of personality, personal values can adapt to social standards, can concentrate on their own work.
8. Have realistic life goals.
9, have the ability to learn from experience, can adapt to the needs of the environment to change themselves.
10, with good interpersonal relationship and the ability to love and be loved. On the premise of not violating social norms, I can keep my personality, neither too flattering nor too seeking social recognition. I have my own independent opinions and criteria for judging right and wrong.
A healthy mental state and a good physical state.
Good physical condition has an important influence on mental health, mainly in the following four aspects.
1, individual genetics, biochemistry and other factors will affect the individual's sensitivity to stress in life. For individuals with psychological disorders, direct mental stimulation factors can usually be found, as well as brain injury or other nervous system defects.
2. Deprivation of physiological needs such as sleep, diet and fatigue will also reduce the individual's resistance to stress. The experimental research on volunteers shows that the occurrence of psychological disorders will increase with the increase of sleep deprivation time from 72 to 98 hours, including difficulty in orientation of time and place, mania and hallucination, and sense of individual disintegration. Berg once concluded: "at least we can be sure of one thing ... if we don't go crazy, we have to sleep."
3. IQ is above 80. Normal intelligence is the basic psychological condition of normal life and an important standard of mental health. Intelligence tests are often used to diagnose the level of individual intelligence development, and those with IQ below 70 are mentally retarded.
4. Physical disability is also an important factor affecting mental health. Physical disability is not directly related to mental health. Many people with physical disabilities can not only exert their normal physical functions through hard work, but also maintain a good mental state and vigorous vitality. But generally speaking, people with physical disabilities have to make greater efforts than ordinary people if they want to reach the level of mental health.
Individual inner harmony
The meaning of individual inner harmony is very broad, including the harmony between internal motivation and needs, the understanding and acceptance of self, the understanding and acceptance of reality, and the perfection and harmony of personality.
1. The intrinsic motivation and needs of individuals are closely related to past experiences, understanding of reality and expectations for the future. People with mental health can draw the essence from past experience to plan the future. They attach great importance to the present and have the ability to foresee the coming difficulties and try to solve them in advance, so they can balance the proportion of the past, the present and the future and make full use of their lives. People with mental health can also experience various situations healthily. Positive emotions such as happiness, optimism, cheerfulness and satisfaction always dominate, and at the same time, they can maintain a rational state of being ecstatic, worried, arrogant in winning and unyielding in losing.
2. Properly handle psychological conflicts. Psychological conflicts often occur when it is difficult to make a choice. In many cases, this conflict situation will have a negative impact on the psychological and physical health of individuals. For example, if a person is dissatisfied with someone, but doesn't want to offend the other person, so he can't directly express his negative emotions, then he is in a state of psychological conflict. A large number of clinical studies show that if a person cannot express his anger and aggression for a long time, it will have a negative impact on his physical and mental health.
3. Understand and accept yourself. A mentally healthy person has a full sense of security for himself, they can experience the value of their existence and properly evaluate their abilities; You can be accepted by yourself or by others. At the same time, mentally healthy people have a clear perception of themselves, the things around them and the environment, and will not be confused and confused. People who are mentally unhealthy lack self-knowledge, are always dissatisfied with themselves, and their mental state can never be balanced and can't get rid of psychological crisis.
4. Accept others and get along well with others. Mentally healthy people are willing to associate with others, can accept not only themselves but also others, and realize the importance and role of others' existence, so they have strong adaptability and sufficient sense of security in social life.
5. Complete and harmonious personality. The personality structure of a mentally healthy person includes the balanced development of temperament, ability, personality, ideal, belief, motivation and interest. Personality refers to a person's overall mental outlook. A person with complete and harmonious personality is gentle and reasonable in thinking, flexible in dealing with others, free from biased emotional and behavioral responses to external stimuli, and able to keep pace with society.
Harmony with the outside world
Mentally healthy people can maintain inner harmony and external harmony, and they are interdependent. The core of harmony with the outside world is the harmony of interpersonal relationship.
1. People with mental health have good social skills and social relations, feel comfortable when interacting with others and can meet their own needs; They are good at establishing close relationships, not casual acquaintances; They don't necessarily have many friends, but they can maintain close relationships with close people and share the joys and sorrows of life.
2. Love life and be willing to work. People with mental health are generally engaged in meaningful work they like, which has a very important impact on mental health, because the main stage of life is 18~60 years old, and most of the time is spent at work. Mentally healthy people can give full play to their personality and intelligence in their work, get satisfaction and encouragement from the results of their work, and regard work as fun rather than a burden. They also cherish and love life, actively participate in life, and enjoy the fun of life in life without thinking it is a burden.
3. Psychological behavior conforms to age characteristics. At different stages of human life, there are corresponding different psychological behaviors, thus forming unique psychological behavior patterns at different ages. A mentally healthy person should have the same psychological and behavioral characteristics as most of his peers. If a person's psychological behavior often deviates seriously from his age characteristics, it will naturally conflict with the environment, thus failing to adapt to the requirements of the environment. This is generally a manifestation of mental health.
Subjective well-being
The core performance of mental health is individual subjective well-being. Not only should we be satisfied with ourselves, our work and our interpersonal relationship, but these positive feelings are based on our objective understanding of ourselves, others and the environment. Unfortunately, in the whole life of modern people, happiness seems to be getting farther and farther away from us. In fact, happiness seems to have no direct relationship with our identity, status, work, work status, house size, etc. People in almost all countries think that life satisfaction and happiness are more important than money and material things. According to a survey in the United States, people whose annual income rose from 50,000 dollars to 6,543,800 dollars did not feel happier in the year after the salary increase than in the past year. As long as they have enough money to buy the necessities of life, those who are extremely rich are not happier than those who can only buy the necessities themselves. Even in the slums of India and Pakistan, their satisfaction with life is much better than others think.

Some scholars have put forward simpler standards from another angle. They believe that judging a person's mental health depends on whether he or she is consistent with most people, especially those of the same age and gender. Therefore, the standard of mental health should include:
1, normal intelligence. Normal intelligence is the basic condition for a person to live, study and work. In psychological counseling, I found that most visitors have this. By speaking and observing the words and feelings of visitors, it is easy to determine whether the intelligence of visitors is normal. Generally, psychological tests are not needed.
2. Emotional stability. Emotional stability and optimism are the main signs of mental health. On the contrary, it is moody. This does not mean that people with mental health are not depressed, but that their positive emotions are more than negative ones, and their emotions are in a relatively balanced state.
3. Harmonious interpersonal relationship. Harmonious interpersonal relationship is an important symbol of mental health. A mentally healthy person can trust and respect others, put himself in others' shoes and let others understand him in an appropriate way. So no matter in which unit, the relationship with classmates and colleagues is very harmonious. Be close to parents and other family members. A mentally healthy person will not have any contradiction with others, but can actively and effectively solve the contradiction when it happens and let others understand him again.
4. act consciously and decisively. This is another important sign of mental health. Mentally healthy people have a clear purpose in everything they do. After careful consideration, they make a decisive decision, and they will not blindly or hesitantly implement their decision. Saying and doing are by no means the same thing. This doesn't mean that you can't change your decision, but that you can't change your decision easily.
5. Love studying, living and working. A mentally healthy person loves life under any circumstances and finds it interesting; Love learning, such as learning foreign languages, computers, professional knowledge and other related knowledge, and regard learning as an indispensable part of life; Love work, not only go to work on time, but also work creatively and work hard to complete the task, taking the shared work as a pleasure.
6. Correct self-concept. This is also an important condition for mental health. Having a correct self-concept means: knowing your strengths and weaknesses, actively developing your strengths and consciously improving your weaknesses; Don't be arrogant because of your advantages, and don't feel inferior because of your shortcomings; Always make progress without knowing enough, and feel happy and optimistic about your achievements. These standards are interrelated. A person's mental health is not necessarily manifested in all aspects, but often in several aspects.
