Being abroad, compared to having social support from numerous relatives and friends at home, study abroad students receive less support from the outside during their study period. Therefore, it is very important to know your mental health status from time to time, especially during the special period of the epidemic outbreak, and it is very necessary to assess your mental health status through some simple and easy means to cope with the epidemic. These, in turn, can be done through psychological assessment.
Psychological assessment refers to a comprehensive, systematic and in-depth analysis of the psychological phenomena of an individual or group under the joint guidance of biological, psychological and socio-medical models. In the current situation where the epidemic situation is severe and people’s normal rhythm of work, study and life is disrupted, the main purpose of psychological assessment is to understand the psychological condition of individuals in a timely manner and determine whether they have existing or potential mental health problems (such as inability to adapt to the sudden change in the rhythm of life due to the epidemic, which subsequently leads to anxiety and depression), thus facilitating early prevention and intervention.
