I am a worker engaged in psychology and mental health education. I am a consultant on mental health education for college students. You ask, "What problems can ordinary people ask a counselor or psychiatrist for help?" Situation is also a problem that our psychologists often face in the practice of mental health education.
I will answer from two aspects.
First of all, it must be clear that everyone has psychological problems.
Everyone has psychological problems, including you and me. We should have a scientific understanding of this. It doesn't matter if you have psychological problems. The most important thing is to adjust yourself, mobilize social support, and ask for help when you can't handle it. Otherwise, psychological problems will turn into mental illness. This is what psychologists often say. Human psychology and behavior are a continuous spectrum of mutual transformation from "normal" to "abnormal" and from quantitative change to qualitative change. Whether our psychological problems can be adjusted well, the most important thing is that if we have psychological problems, we should avoid our own psychological problems and not ask for help in time, which will turn into psychological diseases and become a dangerous factor affecting our work, study, life and family relations.
Secondly, what problems can ordinary people ask psychological counselors or psychiatrists for help?
In the practice of psychological counseling, psychological counseling clinicians divide psychological counseling into developmental psychological problems and healthy psychological problems according to the nature of psychological counseling problems. Then, the psychological counseling involved is divided into developmental psychological counseling and healthy psychological counseling.
First, developmental psychological problems and counseling; At every stage of our growth, there may be psychological puzzles and problems, mainly psychological problems, but not serious, which are common problems in the mental health of ordinary people, including psychological and behavioral deviations and puzzles in self-cognition, interpersonal communication, environmental adaptation, emotional management, psychological adjustment in learning, personality perfection, will quality, love, sexual psychology, career development and so on.
Such psychological problems are mainly solved by psychological counselors, such as developmental counseling for college students, mainly by psychological counselors in various colleges in the university or full-time and part-time psychological counselors in the mental health education and counseling center for students in the university.
First, healthy psychological problems and counseling; In daily life, when a mentally normal person has psychological problems such as anxiety, nervousness, fear and depression due to various stimuli, or has behavioral problems due to various setbacks, psychological obstacles of different severity will appear. At this time, you should go to the psychiatric department, and with the help of a psychologist, you should either take drugs to treat mental disorders or have psychotherapy.
Because this psychological problem has been transformed into mental illness, it does not belong to the scope of work of psychological counselors and must be handled by psychiatrists.
I hope my answer is helpful to you. If you have different opinions, please leave a message in the comments section, and we can continue our discussion and share our views.
Thanks again for the invitation!
When you have any psychological and emotional problems, you can seek the help of a counselor. That is to say, no matter what causes your psychological problems, or what you do because you are unhappy, psychological counseling only deals with psychological problems, helps you analyze and find out the causes of emotional and psychological problems and how to alleviate them, rather than helping you solve the real life problems that plague you.
Psychological counseling generally deals with some minor problems. If there are serious symptoms, it has affected your normal life, such as depression (different from depression), anxiety, bipolar disorder, hallucinations, or somatoform disorders (many physical discomforts have not appeared after examination, so you should consider seeing a psychological clinic), or loss of consciousness, such as schizophrenia. It is recommended to see a psychologist because these symptoms need medical treatment.
# The counselor said # # Life Psychology #
Psychological problems are the same as our physical problems, just like a fever and a cold, but the parts are different, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. Don't be ashamed to seek psychological help and affect your illness!
The state of mental health is emotional stability and happiness, good interpersonal relationship and proper self-evaluation.
1. When you feel that your mood has changed greatly, you seldom feel happy.
2. When you always feel lonely, unable to establish a good interpersonal relationship, or always feel that others have ulterior motives for you, there is always a feeling that a thief wants to harm me. In addition, you always underestimate yourself, feel inferior to others, or feel that you are a very powerful wizard, and always feel that you have no talent and have never met Bole.
I feel sick, but I went to the hospital to check my health.
5, long-term insomnia
6. There are often inexplicable fears and so on.
When you have the above situation, you can seek professional help from a psychologist or counselor.
1, time dimension
People's psychology has the ability of self-digestion and self-repair.
It is normal to encounter some unfavorable and negative life events, such as abnormal performance in important exams, lovelorn, death of relatives, unemployment and so on. This is disturbing people and affects them for a while!
Because psychology needs time to digest these influences!
Assuming that the severity of the influence of things on people is evaluated from low to high, the score is 1- 10. For example, the impact of lovelorn love on A is 8, and the impact on B is 4; The impact of unemployment on a is 5 points, and the impact on b is 9 points.
If you are unemployed, it is the same as above!
In life, our common way to comfort people is: this has happened to everyone, relax! however
Different things have different effects on people; The same thing has different effects on different people!
The greater the impact, the longer it will take to get out of it!
Generally speaking, after more than a month of self-adjustment, the influence has not been alleviated, or even aggravated, which has caused adverse effects on many aspects of life, indicating that psychological self-digestion and self-healing ability can not effectively cope with the current problems.
To put it simply, things are beyond one's capacity. When you can't cope, you can consider psychological counseling.
2. Severity dimension
Do you feel that you have caused serious troubles to your life, or are you within an acceptable range?
Just like a cold. If you just have a runny nose, you may feel uncomfortable blowing your nose, but you don't need to take medicine. If you feel tired, have a fever, have no appetite, and feel groggy, this has a great impact on your life, and you may need to take medicine.
If the trouble is within the acceptable range, you can continue to handle it yourself; If the problem is serious, you can consider psychological counseling.
3. Economic dimension
Let's take a cold as an example. If you are not short of money, even if you just have a runny nose, you can also pay for an expert: Do I drink more boiled water to deal with it? Still taking medicine? No side effects, no matter how expensive the medicine is. But if you don't get the money, you know you can carry it for a few days to increase your immunity.
When I thought of seeking psychological counseling, to some extent, it showed that the trouble had reached the edge of being unable to be effectively handled. Psychological counseling is not cheap. If the money is not bad and the economic conditions permit, of course, psychological counseling can be done. If the economic conditions need to be seriously considered, priority should naturally be given to self-regulation, reading, music, sports and communication with relatives and friends.
If you find that this still doesn't help, you may really need to consider psychological counseling.
In addition, psychological counseling has the function of promoting personal growth, including getting rid of long-term knot, perfecting personality, promoting psychological maturity and expanding self-knowledge.
According to the consulting fee in 400 yuan, 50 times a year, 20 thousand yuan, some people are willing to spend 20 thousand yuan as "consumption", travel abroad for a few days, or buy luxury goods; Some people are willing to put this money into self-growth and get long-term "income"!
When economic conditions permit, and you have the will to grow, you can spend extra "material consumption" expenses on psychological counseling to grow!
4. Exclude dimensions
For those psychological troubles that suddenly appear for no reason, they may actually be physical diseases, and physical diseases need to be ruled out first.
See a psychiatrist-the registration fee is a few dollars, and there may be psychological tests and physical examinations, which add up to one or two hundred dollars. Ask a psychiatrist if you have mental illness. If there is no mental illness and you can't handle it yourself, you can consider doing psychological counseling.
This question is very good, and it has raised many people's confusion. Generally speaking, as long as you feel uncomfortable, self-regulation is ineffective and lasts for a long time, you can seek help from psychological counseling, such as adaptation caused by environmental changes and problems, such as anxiety, worry and fear; Confusion in making friends; Developmental problems, such as I always fail to learn well when I try hard; I want to show myself better, but I feel a lot of restrictions and constraints; It will always get stuck at some point; Parent-child relationship conflict; Adjustment of the relationship between husband and wife. You can seek psychological counseling for such things.
These are actually two problems, because the scope of psychological counselors and psychiatrists is different.
At present, we can seek the help of psychological counselors for life troubles, work pressures, personal growth problems, emotional problems, family problems, interpersonal problems and so on. If you are diagnosed as a real "symptom", you should seek the help of a psychologist, and psychological counseling can be used as an aid.
I am an anxiety patient, and I hope you can adopt me.
As long as you feel abnormal at present, you can find a way to solve it. You can try to read relevant books and find a way to solve it. If it is a little more serious, you can find a health professional to solve it. Psychological counselors are recommended here. Psychiatry pays more attention to mental illness, which is completely different from ordinary people's problems. In addition, psychological counselors know how to communicate, simple and even anxiety, compulsion and depression can be easily solved. In addition, I am here to provide you with some information.

1. pumpkin
Eating more pumpkins is easier to get a good mood, because pumpkins are rich in vitamin B6 and iron, which can convert blood sugar in the human body into glucose, which is the only fuel in the brain.
2, deep-sea fish
Studies show that people who live by the sea feel happier, not only because the sea makes people feel comfortable, but also because people by the sea often eat fish.
According to the research of Harvard University, Omega-3 fatty acids in marine fish have similar effects with commonly used antidepressants such as lithium carbonate, which can block the nerve conduction pathway and increase the secretion of serotonin.
3. Grapefruit
Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, which can not only maintain the concentration of red blood cells, but also make the body particularly resistant to stress. Most importantly, vitamin C is an important raw material for producing dopamine and adrenaline.
4. Spinach
Studies have shown that the lack of folic acid will reduce serotonin in the brain, which will lead to depression, and spinach contains a lot of folic acid.
5.bananas
Bananas contain alkaloids, which can cheer people up and improve their self-confidence. At the same time, bananas contain a lot of pigment amine and vitamin B6, which can help the brain to produce serotonin, thus making people refreshed and reducing anxiety.
6.garlic
Although eating garlic will bring bad smell, the study found that people will feel less tired, anxious and angry after eating garlic.
7, low-fat milk
The survey found that people will feel better, get happiness more easily and be less nervous and irritable. Milk, yogurt and cheese are the main sources of calcium in daily life, especially low-fat milk and skim milk.
8, cherry
Cherry is called natural aspirin in the west because it contains a substance called anthocyanin, which can create happiness. Scientists have found that eating more cherries when people are in a bad mood can quickly improve their mood, which is more effective than any medicine.
9. Whole wheat bread
Carbohydrate can increase serotonin, and it is very scientific that foods such as pasta and snacks can be eaten as antidepressants. In addition, pumpkin soup is a kind of food that can make people feel happy.
Conclusion: Through the above reading, I believe everyone understands the problem of whether anxiety can be completely cured. Nowadays, people are very concerned about the treatment of anxiety disorder. Anxiety can be completely cured. In addition to drugs and other treatments, patients also need to adjust their psychology and have a good attitude.
Personally, I'm a vegetarian, doing meditation or something. In short, it is normal to have such a bad mood, but you have an internal cold. When you overcome it, you will get better and better.
