Ten normal abnormal psychological phenomena

  Being mentally normal does not mean that there is nothing at all wrong; it is the context in which these symptoms arise, their duration, their severity, and how adversely they affect the individual and the environment that matters. Normal individuals may also experience transient abnormalities that are short-lived and mild and cannot yet be labeled as psychotic.
  1. Fatigue.
  It usually has a corresponding cause, lasts for a short time, is not accompanied by significant sleep and mood changes, and can be eliminated with good rest and appropriate recreation. Li Xiufang, Department of Psychological Counseling, Liaocheng Fourth People’s Hospital
  2. Anxiety reaction.
  Anxiety reaction is a way of reaction for people to adapt to a specific environment. However, normal anxiety reactions often have their own realistic reasons (realistic anxiety), such as facing the college entrance examination, and are quickly relieved as things change.
  3. Hysteria-like phenomena.
  Mostly seen in women and children. Some women have quarrels with their husbands and vent to their heart’s content, shouting, tearing clothes and destroying things, beating children, and even threatening to commit suicide. Children may have daydreams, fantasy lies, and take their fantasy content as reality. This is due to the underdevelopment and immaturity of the central nervous system.
  4. Obsessive-compulsive phenomena.
  Some brain workers, especially serious people repeatedly think about something that they are aware of unnecessary, such as whether they have offended someone, repeatedly check whether the door is locked, etc.. But it does not last long and does not affect life and work.
  5. Terror and confrontation.
  We stand in a very high but very safe place when there will still be a sense of terror, and sometimes also think about whether they will jump down, and even to think about jumping is what the scene. If this thought is quickly corrected and no longer continue to think, is normal.
  6. Hypochondriac phenomenon.
  Many people see minor discomfort as a serious disease, repeatedly checked several times, especially when friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues due to a disease after the untimely death and accidental death is likely to appear. However, it is normal to be able to accept the doctor’s advice after the examination if the relevant disease is excluded.
  7. Paranoia and self-implication.
  Anyone has a tendency to self-implication, that is, the assumption that things in the outside world insinuate a certain meaning to themselves, especially if they have a negative impact on themselves, such as walking into the office when people stop talking, then often suspect that people are talking about themselves. This phenomenon is usually transient, and after a moment of doubt will come to realize that the nature and content of the situation is closely linked to the situation.
  8. Delusion.
  Illusions can occur in normal people in the dark, fearful and nervous and expectant mental state, but can be quickly corrected after repeated verification. Idioms such as “grass and wood” and “cup and snake shadow” are typical examples.
  9. Hallucinations.
  Normal people can hear “knocking” or “calling” in the case of urgent expectation. After confirmation, they realize that it is a hallucinatory phenomenon, the medical doctor called psychogenic hallucinations. Occasional hallucinations before bedtime and before waking are not considered pathological.
  10. Self-laughing, self-talking.
  Some people talk to themselves or even laugh while they are alone, but there are objective reasons for this, they can choose the occasion, and they can control themselves, which is a normal phenomenon.
