Abnormality can be defined as a deviation from ideal mental health. The idea of ‘ideal’ mental health is more positive because it moves away from focusing exclusively on mental ‘illness’. This definition concentrates on what psychologists define normal/ideal mental health to be. Anything that deviates from this is regarded as abnormal.
