Some people believe that love could be a mental illness. In terms of symptoms, when one is in love, the secretion of Dopamine in the brain increases, the midbrain limbic system is activated, and the "reward system" mechanism is activated, which will make people feel euphoria, pleasure, ecstasy, and at the same time become more emotional and worried about gains and losses. This is similar to substance dependence. For example, when a person in love is in love for a month and a year, the cleanliness of their boyfriend's room will change, which reflects excessive self-restraint. When they are rejected or unable to get feedback in love, there will be similar withdrawal symptoms and relapse. Brain imaging evidence showed that the regions of the nervous system that were activated during the onset of various types of dependence almost completely overlapped with the regions of the brain that were activated in the early stages of love. They were all related to the reward system. However, these emotional fluctuations and behaviors in love can also be seen as instinctive human reactions, because people's desire for intimacy is a dependence of human nature. It is a mechanism evolved to increase the chances of obtaining a mate and reproduction, and this mechanism is further strengthened in modern monogamy society. In addition, although love would cause emotional and psychological imbalance, this was a common phenomenon in the normal process of love. It was fundamentally different from real mental illness. Therefore, love could not be simply classified as mental illness. Instead, one should learn to manage the emotions and behaviors in love and make love a beautiful part of life. At the same time, there was a condition called the "love brain." These patients tended to have a "black and white" way of thinking. In order to find a sense of security, they would place all their emotions on the other half. In serious cases, they might hurt themselves, but this could not be completely equated to mental illness. It was more of an extreme thinking and behavior in love.
Being fanciful wasn't necessarily a mental illness. Fantasy is a normal human psychological behavior that can help people relax, relieve stress, and even help people find inspiration and creativity in some cases. However, if the content of the fantasy was too absurd and illogical or affected his normal life and work, he needed to take it seriously and seek professional help. If you feel that your fantasies have affected your emotions, interpersonal relationships, life and work, it is recommended to consult a psychiatrist or counselor for help.
The brain in love was generally not considered a mental illness, but a personality defect or a way of thinking. The love brain was mainly manifested as love above all. It placed all its energy and thoughts on love and lovers, thinking about how to maintain this relationship every day. Although the love brain could lead to some abnormal psychology, such as anxiety and possessiveness, it was not strictly defined as a mental illness. Some experts interpreted the love brain as an act of losing rational thinking and judgment for love. However, the love brain may be related to an individual's personality traits, such as lack of security or inferiority, leading to the desire for love to fill the emotional gap. If the love brain has forced behavior and makes the other person feel uncomfortable, you may need to seek psychological guidance. In short, love brain was not considered a mental illness, but a possible personality defect.
In the psychoanalysis of psychology, there was a mental illness called " unscrupulous disease." People with unscrupulous disease would not feel guilty no matter what they did wrong or hurt anyone. Instead, they would enjoy this state. They had no conscience, no ability to empathize, and were very good at calculating and acting. They could not love anyone because there was no sequence of love in their DNA, and it was difficult to be influenced and treated.
From a certain point of view, love and mental illness were similar, but it was not accurate to define love as a serious mental illness. In the diagnosis of mental illness, there was a standard of insight. Impaired insight was an important factor in the diagnosis of mental illness. In love, once a person is controlled by the impulse of love, they may lose themselves. This is similar to losing self-awareness. Just like how people say," Love makes me crazy." A series of behaviors activated by love may not be controlled by self. It is related to the original impulse. In this sense, there are some characteristics of mental illness. However, love was an emotional model formed in the long process of human evolution. In primitive society, it played an irreplaceable role in reproduction. After entering civilized society, although there were love disputes and even tragedies, it was also a part of the normal emotional experience of human beings. Moreover, civilized society had always restrained and filtered some bad behaviors in love. Therefore, love could not be simply attributed to a serious mental illness.
From a certain point of view, love and mental illness had some similarities. In the diagnosis of mental illness, there was a standard of self-awareness. Impaired self-awareness was an important basis for the diagnosis of mental illness. When a person fell in love, they might lose themselves and be controlled by the impulse of love. In this sense, it was as if they had lost self-awareness. For example, in ancient times, many heroes acted irrationally due to the impulse of love, from Xia Jie to King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. In modern times, there were also murder cases caused by love disputes. However, love was fundamentally different from mental illness in the traditional sense. Love was a complex human emotion. In primitive society, it was an emotional model formed to promote human reproduction. Although in civilized society, some primitive impulses in love would conflict with modern social personalities and bring pain, it was the foundation of normal emotional relationships recognized and tolerated by society. It could not be compared with mental illnesses caused by physiological or psychological diseases. Therefore, saying that " love is a serious mental illness " was a more extreme and not completely accurate statement.
There were many differences between mental illness and neurosis: 1. ** Disease Category ** - Mental illness was a type of illness that was characteristic of changes in emotions, cognition, and behavior, accompanied by painful experiences and/or functional impairments. Common illnesses included schizophrenia, depression, hysteria, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism, phobia, and so on. - Nervous system diseases were short for diseases of the nervous system, including central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and striated muscle diseases. The diseases included vasular diseases, infectious diseases of the central nervous system, tumors, trauma, degeneration diseases, autoimmunity diseases, hereditary diseases, toxic diseases, congenital development abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolism disorders, such as cerebral hemorrhage, paraplegic, Alzheimer's disease, poliomyelia, and facial paralysis. 2. ** Cause difference ** - Mental illness was caused by many complex factors such as biology, psychology, and society. It was difficult to find a single cause. - The main causes of mental illness were infection, poisoning, metabolism disorder, and genetics. 3. ** symptoms ** - The clinical manifestations of mental illness were a series of abnormal psychological and emotional behaviors. In serious cases, there would be injuries, self-harm, suicide, etc. There would also be speech disorder, hallucinations, delusions, excitement, damage to people, and strange movements. - Clinically, neurotic patients would have lower limb paralysis, paralysis, numbness of limbs, convulsions, coma, defecation, and other abnormal physical functions. They would also have headaches, dizziness, aphasia, blindness, convulsions, coma, unstable walking or paralysis, muscle weakness or wasting, and so on. 4. ** Patient's Insight ** - Mental patients probably didn't think they were sick. - Psychopaths usually know that they are sick. 5. ** Treatment Method ** - Mental illness usually used a combination of psychotherapy and medication.

According to Platon's view of love, love was not defined as a mental illness. There was a rich meaning in Platonic view of love: 1. ** The relationship between love and happiness **: Happiness is the ultimate goal of love, and love is a way of happiness. Love makes happiness eternal through fertility. Fertility includes both physical and spiritual fertility. The fertility of the soul is more noble. It is the birth of creation, wisdom, and the derivation of virtue. 2. [The Form of Love: He divided love into two forms, the love of flesh and the love of spirit.] The body's Eros was a manifestation of desire, which was low and limited, while the soul's Eros was the pursuit of beauty and the communication of the soul, which was noble and infinite. However, platonic love was not purely spiritual love. It was composed of the body's desire for love and the soul's desire for love. It only emphasized that the soul's desire for love should dominate the body's desire. True love should transcend the sensory level and pursue the concept of beauty, kindness, and truth. 3. ** The concept of soul mate **: The philosophy of love was extracted from the story narrated by Aristophanes in the Gathering of Drinking. It believed that human beings were originally complete. After being divided into two halves by God, humans were always looking for the other half that could make them complete, namely soul mates. This kind of spiritual love based on physical desire was considered to be a higher realm of love. Loving someone was to make oneself complete, starting from one's own desire and self-realization.
I don't quite understand what you mean by "mental illness mi". If "mi" is a misrepresentation, mental illness is also called mental disorder. It is a disease that causes problems in the patient's mental state. It is a serious psychological disorder. The symptoms include persistent abnormalities in cognition, emotion, will, and action, such as delusions in cognition (such as delusions of being persecuted, delusions of relationship, etc.), emotional instability, disharmonious emotional response, pessimism, despair, or extreme excitement. There may also be sensory disturbances (such as hallucinations, sensitivity or insensitivity to external stimulation, etc.). The patient's behavior was difficult for ordinary people to understand. Under the influence of morbid psychology, suicide and attacking others might occur. Those with mild illnesses had a certain correct understanding of their illness and could cooperate with treatment. Those with severe illnesses did not have a complete understanding of their illness and could not cooperate with treatment. Some patients were despised by their families and were "imprisoned." Some patients who did not harm others struggled on the edge of society. Modern psychology mainly studied the causes, mechanisms, symptoms, clinical patterns, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of mental disorders. It not only involved the diagnosis and treatment of various mental illnesses and neuroses, but also involved the prevention, correction, and treatment of many problems such as adaptation disorder and personality disorder. If you suspect that you have symptoms related to mental illness, it is recommended to go to the hospital's psychiatric or psychological department in time.
