Half of health is mental health, and half of the disease is mental illness. Mental illness refers to the phenomenon that a person deviates from the track of social life norms in his thinking, emotion and behaviour due to mental tension and interference. In modern society, people’s mental illness is very common, but there is a difference in degree. There are many kinds of mental diseases with different manifestations, and there are also many newly discovered mental diseases with the changes of the times. Now people have begun to realise the importance of mental health, paying more and more attention to the mental health status of themselves and their relatives and friends who are with them day and night.
So, what is a person with mental health?
Know yourself and accept yourself
A person with mental health can experience his own existence value. He can not only understand himself, but also accept himself. He is self-acherous and can make appropriate and objective evaluations of his own abilities, personality, strengths and weaknesses; he will not put forward harsh and indiscreet expectations and requirements for himself; he can also make his life goals and ideals. Be realistic, so you are always satisfied with yourself; strive to develop your own potential, even if you can deal with your irreparable defects.
A mentally unhealthy person lacks self-ascience and is always dissatisfied with himself; because the goals and ideals set are unrealistic, the subjective and objective distance is too far away, and he always blames himself, self-pity, and inferiority; because he always asks himself to be perfect, but he always can’t be perfect, so he always follows If you can’t live by yourself, your psychological state will never be balanced, and you will never be able to get rid of the psychological crisis you feel you are going to face.

When getting along with others, Positive attitudes (such as sympathy, friendliness, trust, respect, etc.) are always more than negative attitudes (such as suspicion, jealousy, fear, hostility, etc.), so they have strong adaptability and a sufficient sense of security in social life. And mentally unhealthy people may often be outside the collective and incompatible with the surrounding personality.

All kinds of difficulties and challenges can be properly handled. People who are psychologically unhealthy often replace reality with fantasy, do not dare to face reality, and do not have enough courage to accept the challenges of reality; they always complain that they are “born at the right time” or blame the social environment for being unfair to themselves, so they cannot adapt to the real environment.

The intelligence is normal, and the IQ is above 80 points.
Normal intelligence is the basic psychological condition for people to work and study in their normal life, and is an important standard for mental health. Generally, people with an IQ of less than 70 points are intellectually backward, and intellectually backwardness is difficult to be called mental health.

At different ages of human life development, there are corresponding psychological behaviours, thus forming unique psychological behaviour patterns at different ages. People with mental health should have the psychological and behavioural characteristics that most people of the same age meet. If a person’s psychological behaviour often seriously deviates from his age characteristics, it is generally a manifestation of psychological inhealth.
