Are you at a loss for words or blushing in social situations? 2. Is the mood bad? For example, often pessimistic, depressed, anxious, irritable, or irritable, like to attack? 3. Is there any physical pain of which the cause is not clear? For example, long-term chronic pain, plant nerve disorder, decreased physical strength, long-term insomnia, etc. 4.Significant decrease in work, study and attention ability, etc. 5.Is there any abnormal behavior that is beyond your control? For example, repeatedly washing hands, closing doors, making faces, etc. 6.Is there extreme dislike for oneself and disgust for others, etc.? The above six aspects of performance, every healthy person will more or less show some, only to reach a certain intensity and a certain time, is considered a psychological disorder. By a certain intensity, it means that these symptoms affect a person’s happiness and ability to work more seriously; by time, it means that the duration of these symptoms should be more than 3 to 6 months. How to determine the severity of the psychological disorder you are suffering from? For a person suffering from a psychological disorder, it is important to objectively evaluate the severity of the problem so that the less severe patients do not have to carry a heavy burden and the more severe patients can be alerted and receive timely treatment. Judging the severity of the psychological disorder, there are three important criteria, the most important criterion, is the ability to reality check, it involves a person’s subjective judgment of things and objective reality match, the worse the subjective judgment and objective match, the weaker the ability to reality check, the more serious his psychological illness. Severely mentally ill patients are controlled by hallucinations and delusions and are severely detached from reality, and are the ones with the worst reality-testing ability, so they belong to the most severe psychological disorders. The second criterion for judging the severity of a psychological disorder is his ability to adapt to interpersonal relationships and stress. The worse the adaptability, the more severe the psychological disorder. In severe psychiatric disorders, the adaptability is significantly degraded, and the patient can only hide in a small circle of “narcissism”, his life can only be carried out with himself, and his own hallucinations and delusions; patients with borderline disorders can only adapt to very limited interpersonal interaction, in a semi-narcissistic, semi-public “borderline life Patients with borderline disorders can only adapt to very limited interpersonal interactions and are in a semi-narcissistic, semi-public “limbo” state. The third criterion is the stage of impaired psychological development; the earlier the impairment, the more severe the disorder. Within six months after birth, impaired psychological development, mental disorders in the category of severe, can appear schizophrenia; between six months and 18 months of age, impaired, belong to severe psychological disorders, can appear borderline psychological disorders, hysteria; between two and three years of age, impaired, prone to compulsive or narcissistic disorders; three to five years of age, impaired, prone to social terror and other neurosis and psychosexual disorders. Combining the three criteria, it is possible to make a more accurate judgment of the severity of psychological disorders.
