It is difficult to identify the true definition or meaning of 'abnormality' of your mental health, and my interpretation is almost ironically not scientific like this diagram may suggest; in fact it is quite the opposite, I think that mental health cannot be seen through any scans or machines that any hospital owns, so I don't really agree with the statistical infrequency theory, although I am saying that it is completely inaccurate. Which is why some parts of the brain are coloured black, because certain areas of the brain are blamed but our brain doesn't work in a localisation of function way, the entire brain will work together to cause certain behaviours and thoughts, so many of these diagrams will commonly be combined and it'll be rare if only one of them were to apply to a person especially the top left one. I also do not really agree with deviation from ideal mental health because we are all unique individuals, and so our 'perfect' mental health will never be the same as anyone else's and I also am in disbelief that anyone is in the state of ideal mental health because the mind is such a complex thing that I am in speculation as to whether it is even possible. I do partially agree with the behaviour to conform theory and the failure to function adequately. This is because social demands allow us to view a rough guide line of what 'normal' behaviour should look like, however reckless people who go against this, aren't always described as mentally 'abnormal' hence the term 'rough guide lines'. I don't think mental 'abnormality' is not a structural thing, it can be, but then it would be a brain 'abnormality' not a 'mind over matter' occurrence where the voice that everyone has in their heads, has a say in everything we do, but it's when it says, how it says it and what it says, that varies and can have significant effects on our mental health.]]> 2019-02-02 15:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lucyproverbs/emugl33rw5js/wish/326959725
