In today's society, with the accelerated pace of life and the increasing pressure of work, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to mental health issues. Mental illness includes not only common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, but also some psychological discomfort caused by long-term sub-health conditions. The purpose of this article is to understand how sub-health conditions can be a potential cause of mental illness, and to remind readers to take it seriously.

First of all, we need to clarify the concept of "sub-health". It refers to the intermediate state between health and disease, which is mainly manifested as low physiological function, decreased vitality, decreased adaptability, etc., and is also accompanied by a certain degree of psychological pressure and emotional fluctuations. People in this state do not meet the criteria for a clinical diagnosis of a disease, but they clearly feel a reduced quality of life and physical and mental exhaustion.

The persistence of sub-health poses a threat to the mental health of individuals. Long-term emotional experiences such as fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and depression will gradually erode the individual's psychological defense, weaken people's psychological tolerance, and easily produce negative emotions, which may further develop into mental illness. For example, constant stress with nowhere to release may lead to chronic stress responses, which in turn can lead to depression or anxiety; Long-term sleep deprivation can affect the brain's emotion regulation mechanisms and increase the risk of depression.

In addition, individuals in sub-health states often ignore the importance of self-adjustment and psychological construction, which makes it difficult to channel and alleviate bad emotions in time. This negative coping style will aggravate the sub-health state and form a vicious circle, which may eventually lead to the emergence of mental illness.

Therefore, to prevent and improve mental illness, we must start by paying attention to and adjusting the sub-health status. This requires us to pay attention to balancing life and work, maintaining a regular schedule and rest, eating a reasonable diet, exercising actively, and at the same time, we must also learn to deal with stress scientifically and carry out effective psychological adjustment, such as relieving tension through meditation, yoga and other means, or seeking help from professional psychological counselors.

In short, sub-health status is an important early warning sign of mental illness, and we should be vigilant, take care of our physical and mental health, and return our lives to a harmonious and stable state, so as to effectively avoid the intrusion of mental illness. In this process, the understanding, acceptance and care of the whole society are also indispensable forces, so that we can work together to build a social environment conducive to mental health.
