What Is a Mental Health Assessment?

Zhang Shengyuan, a well-known adolescent psychological counseling expert, proposed three criteria for assessing mental health, namely being able to know himself, being able to accept himself, and being able to control himself. Being able to know oneself is an understanding of one's physiological state, one's understanding of one's relationship with the outside world (such as the effect of the environment on oneself, one's position in society, role, strength, responsibility, etc.), and one's psychological state (such as knowledge , Talents, thoughts, feelings, etc.). To be acceptable, you need to know yourself fully, to know yourself correctly, to acknowledge yourself frankly, and to embrace yourself. To be able to control yourself is to have cold control when you are manic, transformation control when you are frustrated, and sharp control when you are inert.

The "WHO" definition of "health" is: health not only means that a person has no incompleteness or disease, but means that a person has good physical, mental, and social adaptability. "A person is a physical and mental unity. A healthy A person should include two aspects: on the one hand, physically, he is robust and able to withstand the storms, and on the other hand, psychologically, he is healthy and able to withstand all kinds of complexity. The tempering of the environment. Because human psychological activities include three aspects: knowledge, affection, and will, as the standard of mental health, that is, from the three aspects of self-knowledge, attitude, and control. Investigate your own mental health.

Being able to know oneself means that people can not only understand the objective world, and respond to people or things around them, but also look back at themselves as recognized objects and respond to their bodies, desires, feelings, and thoughts. Knowing the world is a kind of intelligence, and knowing yourself is also a kind of intelligence. Contemporary American psychologist Garnason believes that intelligence has seven frameworks, of which self-intelligence is also a framework of intelligence, and self-awareness is the product of self-intelligence. Self-consciousness, also known as self-concept or self-view, is the self-knowledge of yourself. This is the most essential characteristic of human consciousness. Human self-awareness is not inherent, but gradually matures with the development of individual physiology and psychology. Thanks to the coordinated movements of the limbs, eyes and ears, I gradually learned about the various parts of the body, and developed a sense of possession, domination, and love for my body. This is the first stage of self-awareness. It is to acquire the concept of the body, and realize the "physical self." This kind of conscious differentiation of oneself and others, subject and object is the real beginning of human wisdom. Since then, children have learned language and some social norms to understand their role in various situations. Such as

To be able to accept myself, that is, to know everything about yourself, not only to fully understand and correctly understand, but also to admit it openly and accept it. Don't deceive yourself, reject yourself, let alone a monk hate yourself. Self-concept consists of three components, namely

Being able to control yourself is self-control. Self-control is the most important regulation mechanism of psychological activity and the highest sign of psychological maturity. Japanese volleyball coach Hiroshi Omatsu once said: "The most difficult thing for a person is to defeat himself." The so-called victory over himself is his ability to himself.

Self-control and self-regulation generally include three aspects: First, the chilling control in the manic state can cool the emotions of oneself. Just be calm in the event. Calmness does not mean that we suppress our emotions unconditionally, but that we express our emotions fully and appropriately. Suppress unfavorable emotions and suppress explosive negative emotions that appear momentarily. Second, the transformation control when frustrated, the path of life will not always be smooth, a person's material or spiritual desires will often be blocked or interrupted due to various circumstances. There is also a sudden disaster, which is collectively called frustration in psychology. Frustration often causes people to have various negative emotions, and also has many adverse consequences. Transformational control is to use the induction law of brain excitement inhibition, that is, excitement at one point of the brain can make other inhibitions, so that negative emotions become positive emotions or make The negative emotions are replaced by another strong positive excitement, and the original emotional experience is suppressed and disappears. Third, the intensified control during inertia, life and work can not rely on temporary emotional impulses, and must constantly and constantly self-motivate and strengthen. Self-activation must first have a clear goal. People who have no goals do not even know where they are going. There is no need and no self-activation. Once you have a clear and realistic goal, you will surely get both a psychological motivation and a physical energy. ^[2]
