How to distinguish between mental health and unhealthy?

Mentally healthy person

★ Normal intellectual development

Intelligence refers to a person's observation, attention, memory, imagination and thinking ability. Normal intelligence is the most basic psychological condition for a person to study, live and work, and it is the psychological guarantee for a person to adapt to the surrounding environment and seek self-development. Therefore, normal intelligence is the primary standard of a person's mental health. The average IQ of most people is 90- 1 10. If it exceeds 1 10, it is highly intelligent. If the IQ is 80-89, it is dull, 70-79 is the critical line, and below 70 is low energy. In this regard, you will certainly have no problem and can be admitted.

★ Emotional stability and optimism

Emotion is people's attitude experience based on whether objective things meet their needs, and it is the main symbol of mental health. People with mental health have more positive emotions than negative ones, and can maintain an optimistic, positive and upward attitude on the whole. Of course, everyone will inevitably encounter difficulties and setbacks in life, study and work. The main difference between mental health and unhealthy is not whether negative emotions are produced, but the duration of such negative emotions. People with mental health can't extricate themselves from negative emotions for a long time, but people with mental health can actively and timely adjust their negative emotions to adapt to the external environment. This kind of talent is psychologically healthy. Some of our classmates have conflicts with other students, or failed in the exam, and have been in negative emotions such as depression, sadness and disappointment for a long time, and are not good at self-regulation, then you can't be considered a completely mentally healthy person. In addition, you can properly express and control your emotions, that is to say, moderate emotional response is also a standard, and the intensity of emotional response should be consistent with the situation. Weak stimulation and weak reaction, strong stimulation and strong reaction, for example, if you are trampled on by others on the bus, you may be unhappy in your heart, but if you are extremely angry and go on the rampage, then your emotional reaction is inappropriate and your psychology can't. In short, we should be good at adjusting our emotions and keep in good condition.

★ Voice will and quality

Will is a psychological process in which people consciously determine their own goals and overcome various difficulties according to their goals to achieve their predetermined goals. A sound will quality is mainly manifested in four aspects: consciousness, decisiveness, toughness and self-control.

Consciousness refers to self-awareness, being good at independently determining goals according to your own ideas, choosing ways to achieve goals and putting them into action. To put it simply, you don't have to be urged by others to take the initiative;

Decisiveness refers to being able to make decisions quickly and effectively in complex situations and put them into action bravely in time, rather than being indecisive and reckless;

Stubbornness has two meanings: on the one hand, it shows firm will, unwavering at any time and under any conditions, and persistent pursuit of goals; On the other hand, it shows tenacious perseverance, sticks to the end for the goal and is not afraid of difficulties;

Self-control is also manifested in two aspects: on the one hand, it can resist thoughts, emotions and external temptations that are inconsistent with the goal; On the other hand, I can endure all kinds of pains and hardships for my goal.

Let's think about it. If we concentrate these four items on one person, how great this person will be and what he does will be successful! Therefore, we should compare these four articles with ourselves to see which one is not good enough and which one should be strengthened and improved.

★ Self-cognition is correct.

Self-awareness refers to the individual's understanding of his own body, psychology, behavior and the relationship between himself and others, himself and society. Correct self-awareness means being able to know yourself correctly, evaluate yourself objectively and comprehensively, know yourself, accept yourself, and seek truth from facts about your life goals and ideals. In other words, you can unify the ideal me with the real me, basically be satisfied with yourself, and at the same time, you can constantly improve yourself, even if you can't remedy your own defects. People who are mentally unhealthy are either always giving themselves a hard time, always holding a negative attitude towards themselves, or overestimating themselves and feeling too good about themselves, which is unrealistic.

★ Harmonious and complete personality
