Features: Health is a fundamental element of human survival and development, belonging to both individuals and society. In the past, people generally believed that "health means no illness, and illness means being unhealthy." With the advancement of science and changes in the times, the modern concept of health tells us that health is no longer merely about physical well-being. In addition to being physically healthy, one also needs to have a sound mental state. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as "a state of complete physical and mental well-being, as well as good adaptation, rather than merely the absence of disease or debilitation." This refers to what people mean by physical and mental health, meaning that a person is truly healthy only when they are sound in body, mind, social adaptation, and morality.
With societal progress and development, the competitive and fast-paced environment of modern society has brought unprecedented psychological stress to humans, leading to a sharp increase in the incidence of mental illnesses such as neurasthenia, depression, anxiety, phobias, sexual dysfunction, retirement syndrome, and Alzheimer's disease. Psychological issues can arise at all stages of life, from children to adolescents, middle-aged adults, and the elderly, showing their universality. However, there is a general lack of knowledge about mental health. In light of this, we have organized relevant psychological experts to compile this book, "1001 Questions for a Psychologist."
