Mental age is less than physiological age

Mental age refers to a person's mental state at a certain stage. Mental age is often different from physical age. This difference is generally manifested in three aspects: Mental age is less than physiological age: When this happens, it proves that a person's mental health is better, but the mental age is too low. It appears uncoordinated and unhealthy. Psychological age is greater than physiological age: When this happens, it is "aging before aging" and is a sign of poor mental health. Only the third type—the psychological age and the physical age—is basically a manifestation of mental health. People with too young psychological age will be naive and immature, and it will be difficult to adapt to society. People with psychological age far below the actual age will appear too naive, which is not conducive to personal social survival and growth.
