scholarly journals Psychological health and subjective perception of happiness in mental disorders

The aim of the study was to study psychological health (PH) and its relationship with subjective perception of happiness in patients with various types of mental disorders (MD). The set of research methods included the methodology “Individual model of psychological health”, “Semantic diff erential of happiness” (SDH) and methods of statistical processing of the data obtained. The study involved 210 patients with MD (70 with organic disorders, 70 with depressive disorders and 70 with neurotic disorders). It was found that with all variants of MD, a signifi cantly lower level of realizability of the “Prosocial” vector was determined, which refl ects the presence of internal and social coherence of the individual. In neurotic disorders, apart from Prosocial, the “Strategic” and “Family” vectors were also signifi cantly less realizable, which refl ected signifi cantly lower levels of family well-being, the ability for strategic planning, purposeful functioning, and persistence of these patients. In depressive disorders, the “Strategic”, “Intellectual” and “I” vectors were also signifi cantly less realizable, determining the low realizability of patients in this group, primarily in the spheres “I”-Realization, — emotional, intellectual, social and physical. In organic disorders among the components of the PH, the “Intellectual” vector was also less realized in comparison with the healthy group; The data obtained indicate that the subjective perception of happiness by patients with MD is associated primarily with the “Strategic”, “Prosocial”, “Family”, “Intellectual” and “I” vectors of the PH. The “creative”, “Spiritual” and “Humanistic” components of PH did not fi nd a relationship with the level of subjective perception of happiness in patients with MD.

Psychological functions of a symptom are considered. Issues of operationalization of a symptom and definition of conceptual provisions of its formation are solved . Basic rules of interpretation of a symptom and interpretation of the concept are described in terms of several approaches. The conceptual provisions of symptom formation that allow to include it in psycho-corrective methods are considered in detail. The methods of the existential-systemic technological approach for providing psychological assistance to the client are analyzed and empirically tested, providing dynamic changes in the content of the "picture of the world" of clients in the cognitive and ontological plans. According to the empirical study, psychosomatic, emotional and behavioral symptoms were presented. It has been shown that symptoms with different specificities have unchanging constituents and functions. It also has been shown that applying an existential approach helps the symptomatic client to produce a new, better reality that will take into account the actual needs and aspirations of the subject. Thus, the main task, which is directed and work with the symptom – is the person's approach to himself/herself, greater sensitivity to his own real existential aspirations.

The transition to an informational lifestyle significantly increases the creative potential of society as a whole, and the individual in particular. Along with this, there is a significant increase of the load on the human’s mind under conditions of increasing flows of information and its turbulence. The information environment essentially becomes the main source of information for a person, has a direct impact on his mental activity, on the formation of his social behavior. A person is forced to live in this environment, to perceive its realities adequately, to adapt to information threats from this environment. The awareness of these threats has led to careful attention to information security. A child, being a specific member of a society, nevertheless acts as a full-fledged participant in information relations, and must be in such a state of protection, in which there is no risk associated with information causing harm to his health, physical, mental, spiritual and moral development.A child in his development, processing information, actively assimilates social experience, as well as a system of social connections and relationships, and subsequently reproduces all this in his life. In the course of this process, he acquires the qualities, values, beliefs and forms of behavior that he needs for normal life.Ensuring the information security of a child implies protection because of the destabilizing effect of information on health and mental, spiritual and moral development; creation of conditions for the information environment for positive socialization and individualization of the personality, optimal social, personal, cognitive and physical development, preservation of somatic, mental and psychological health and well-being, the formation of a positive worldview. The latter is possible when determining the main directions of state policy in the interests of children and the key mechanisms for its implementation, based on the generally recognized principles and norms of the international law.


The aim of this study was to research emotional intelligence and its relationship with the level of "happiness" in patients with various forms of mental disorders. The study involved 210 patients with mental disorders (70 with organic mental disorders, 70 with endogenous disorders and 70 with neurotic disorders) and 105 healthy people. Patients with mental disorders were characterized by a lower level of emotional intelligence (EQ), which is equal to medium-low normative gradations, which defined patients as less able to adequately understand, guide and express their own emotions and experiences, as well as understand and adequately respond to the emotions of others, compared with individuals. without mental pathology. Patients with endogenous disorders were characterized by a low level of EQ. According to the data obtained, the least satisfied with life, and, accordingly, having a low level of happiness, were patients with neurotic disorders, in which the degree of satisfaction with life (the difference between needs and their realizability) had low values ​​(0.90 ± 0.39), which defined them as less lucky. The level of happiness and, accordingly, the least low indicators of the degree of satisfaction with life among the forms of mental disorders were determined by organic disorders (1.22 ± 0.46), the indicators of which were as close as possible to the results of healthy individuals. The level of dissatisfaction with life in people with endogenous disorders was higher (1.57 ± 0.39) than in healthy people, at p ≤ 0.05, which determined them as less successful. The level of happiness of patients was directly correlate to the severity of emotional intelligence (the higher the level of EQ, the higher the level of happiness is), motivational focus on development and social activity, as well as sthenism in emotional experiences. These emotional and motivational features cause an increase in the level of subjective perception of happiness.

Mental health problems are conditions that do not meet the criteria for disease but affect the normal quality and continuity of everyday life. They are the emotional and psychological difficulties of the individual, which occur as a result of circumstantial or persistent stresses or of a reflection of the emotions between the individual and the environment where he lives (WHO, 2005). Health is seen as "not just a lack of sickness or disability," but rather as "a complete physical, mental and social well-being." This definition significantly expands the concept of mental health, which should not be defined in a restrictive manner as the absence of mental disorders, but should be defined in a positive and comprehensive view (WHO, 1985). Ultimately, mental health is defined as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own potential, is able to cope with daily life concerns, is productive and fruitfully in his work, and is capable of delivering his contribution to the community where he lives (WHO, 2001). Mental health problems are usually associated with important concerns in social, professional, or other important activities. In many cases, there appears to be a continuity between mental health problems and mental disorders, making the diagnosis even more complex (CDC, 2011). Policies and Legislative Frameworks. Law on MS – 1996. Implementation of LLL remains low as a consequence of inadequate infrastructure (health, social and legal). There is no national or local body to monitor human or patient rights in the institutions of the MS.Policy on the Development of Mental Health Services in Albania - March 2003. Action Plan for the Development of Mental Health Services in Albania - May 2005. Mental and emotional problems are a concern for many elderly people. Depression often occurs as a result of the death of a spouse or close friends. Even this kind of loss and even more important and more common is the loss of respect of others. With retirement an individual does not feel more useful to his family, to society, and even more to himself.

The study on Parental Bonding and Psychological Well-being was conducted in Sriperumbudur among 60 young adults. The tools used were Parental Bonding Instrument and Psychological General Well – being Index. The bonding or attachment that a child has with parents have a great impact on their personality traits and well – being. Children who have a secure attachment with their parents tend to be less at the risk of any mental disorders. Parents these days are both employed and the children are left with the servant maids or at crèches, wherein they lose the bonding that has to be received from their parents. In some cases the parents are over protective to the children and restrict them in almost every single thing. This lack of parental bonding or over protectiveness may affect the well – being of the child in the later years. The present study is to know the bonding style of parents with their children and the effect of it on the psychological well-being of the individual. The results indicated that there is a significant correlation between parental care, control and psychological well – being.

In the process of professional training of future psychologists, the ability to recognize the mental norm and deviations from it to identify resources to maintain a healthy part of the psyche during counseling, correctional or psychotherapeutic work with the client is important. Professional competencies in pathopsychology involve the formation of the concept of norm and pathology in the worldview of future psychologists, because in any activity of a psychologist the forefront is the qualification of the studied psychological phenomenon as normal or pathological. Purpose. The purpose of this article is a theoretical overview of scientific approaches to understanding the concept of the norm in clinical psychology and its field as pathopsychology, to emphasize the relevance of the concept of the psychological norm in students majoring in Psychology during their training Methods. Theoretical research is carried out using methods of historical analysis, comparison, systematization, and interpretation of facts. Originality. Closely related to the concept of the mental norm is the concept of mental and psychological health. The fundamental difference between the terms "mental health" and "psychological health" is that the former characterizes individual mental processes and mechanisms, and the latter - refers to the individual as a whole, is closely related to the manifestations of the human spirit. In the scientific sense, norm and pathology are two extreme points and there is no clear boundary between them, and it is difficult to differentiate them. The continuum between the two extreme points is filled by the so-called boundary conditions. Within the level approach, there are three levels of human existence: somatic, psychological, and level of moral self-awareness. The "ideal norm" can be considered human well-being at all three levels of its existence Conclusion . Theoretical review of the issue, the problem of mental norms has been and remains controversial not only for pathopsychology, but also for related fields, including medicine. The mental norm is a multidimensional and multilevel formation. There are several approaches in the interpretation of this concept: adaptive, statistical, pathopsychological, phenomenological, from the standpoint of the norm - norm, the norm as an ideal, and many others, but there is no exact, generally accepted, indisputable definition, despite many studies. We can see the prospect of further research in the direction of analysis of modern world social and philosophical trends in understanding the norm, pathology, disease and psychological health of the individual and their introduction into the educational process of training future psychologists.

Ongoing thought patterns constitute important aspects of both healthy and abnormal human cognition. However, the neural mechanisms behind these daily experiences and their contribution to well-being remain a matter of debate. Here, using resting state fMRI and retrospective thought sampling in a large neurotypical cohort (n = 211) we identified two distinct patterns of thought, broadly describing the participants current concerns and future plans, that significantly explained variability in the individual functional connectomes. Consistent with the view that ongoing thoughts are an emergent property of multiple neural systems, network-based analysis highlighted the central importance of both unimodal and transmodal cortices in the generation of these experiences. Importantly, while state-dependent current concerns predicted better psychological health, mediating the effect of functional connectomes; trait-level future plans were related to better social health, yet with no mediatory influence. Collectively, we show that ongoing thoughts can influence the link between brain physiology and well-being.
