Features: With the development of society, people's pace of life is constantly accelerating, and their sense of competition is continuously strengthening. At the same time, their psychological stress and mental burdens are also increasing. The threat of psychological problems has far surpassed the troubles caused by physical illnesses, becoming a must-face issue in life and society for modern people. Some even believe that the greatest enemy of humanity is not famine, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, or other natural disasters, but the more difficult-to-deal-with psychological problems that are even more challenging than natural disasters. This book references a large amount of domestic and international related materials and, starting from the perspective of popularizing scientific knowledge of mental health, attempts to provide an in-depth description from a professional standpoint. It focuses on analyzing factors related to mental health, the causes of psychological abnormalities, their prevention, the manifestations of general psychological problems, the symptoms of common psychological disorders, the psychological development characteristics of people at different age stages, and the maintenance of mental health. Additionally, it provides a thorough explanation of the treatment and nursing methods for common psychological diseases. The goal is to help a broad readership gain a better understanding of psychological issues related to themselves, their families, or their friends, and to enable them to practice self-help and mutual support based on the methods introduced in the book. By promptly identifying and addressing psychological abnormalities in their early stages, readers can minimize the troubles and anxieties caused by psychological problems for themselves and their families, continuously improving their quality of life.
