What are the causes of acute mental disorders

Acute mental disorder refers to a mental disorder with a rapid onset. There are many causes of acute mental disorder, including both organic and non-organic causes. This includes some social factors, psychological factors, moral factors and other reasons. The pressure of life in today's society is relatively high. If we cannot coordinate the relationships in social, family and other aspects, it can easily lead to acute mental disorders.

1. Social factors

With the rapid development of modern science and technology, dense urban populations, various noises, air and water pollution, accelerated pace of life, traffic congestion, fierce competition, housing difficulties, unemployment, layoffs, natural disasters, and increased interpersonal conflicts, all of these can easily cause anxiety and tension and become an important source of mental disorders.

2. Psychological factors

a. Psychological factors are closely related to mental disorders. Some foreign scholars believe that normal and abnormal behaviors are the result of conflicts between conscious and unconscious desires or instincts. Psychological disorders or mental illnesses are mainly the result of anxiety and emotional defense reactions caused by the subconscious conflict between the id's desires and the superego's control.

b. This contradiction and conflict begins in infancy and is based on the biological instinctive desire to strongly resist social constraints. In order to alleviate the anxiety caused by the conflict between the id and the superego, the ego has developed various means of preventing anxiety, namely psychological defense mechanisms.

c. Those who manage to minimize inner psychological conflicts by developing effective coping strategies (or defense mechanisms) are mentally healthy people. The intentional or unintentional excessive use of a single or concentrated defense mechanism, which dominates the individual's personality and its development or damages his effective function, will lead to some psychological abnormality or mental disorder.

3. Ethical factors

Swearing, hitting, exaggerated performances, etc. also involve personality issues.
