Vishnevskaya. Psikhopatologicheskiye proyavleniya u molodykh muzhchin i zhenshchin s uslovno normativnym sostoyaniyem psikhicheskogo zdorovya

Abstract:
The final qualifying work «Psychopathological manifestations in young men and women with a conditionally normative state of mental health» examines pre‑clinical disorders in youth without established diagnoses. A theoretical analysis of the criteria for normality and pathology, the biopsychosocial approach, and psychopathological diathesis was conducted. Gender differences were found: young women have significantly higher rates of somatization, while men have higher rates of hostility. A relationship between difficulties in describing feelings (alexithymia) and the depression was confirmed. An inverse relationship was found between the level of anxiety and a positive attitude towards oneself, which turned out to be more significant than the relationship with the family context. In addition, a new significant correlation was identified: a negative attitude towards superiors is associated with the overall level of psychological distress.
