Crazy Psychologist

When he heard Muchun's words, Zhao Xue suddenly started crying, the cry was loud, as if he had been suppressing it for a long time.

‘Only two days. ’ Muchun thought of this sentence again.

Deng Lin did not nod or blink.

So Mu Chun did some checks on Deng Lin with Zhao Xue's consent. He raised Deng Lin's arm above her head and then released it; then he gently pushed her arm from one side to the other and then released it; Then check the other hand and complete the same steps.

During the entire examination, no one in the single ward spoke. Zhao Xue's occasional sobs became so sudden that the hearts of those who heard them would twitch. Only Deng Lin, who was in the hospital bed, still had an unknown look in her eyes. Wherever they looked, this was more horrifying to everyone present than Zhao Xue's crying.

"How long has she been like this?" Muchun asked Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue shook her head, "I can't tell clearly, because she has been sleeping all the time, and then I thought about waking her up to have some food, and then I found that she became like this."

After Muchun checked, he found that Deng Lin's physiological response to stimulation was very low and she was almost in a state of "stupor". He walked to the corridor, and Qin Hao and Zhao Xue followed him out.

Zhao Xue gently closed the door and asked Mu Chun anxiously, "What's going on with Linlin? Is she possessed by an evil spirit?"

"Possessed? Why do you say that?" Muchun looked into Zhao Xue's eyes and asked sharply.

"I, just pretend I didn't say anything." Zhao Xue was a little confused and gibbering.

"I wonder if the diagnosis from the internal medicine department has been confirmed?" Muchun said this to Qin Hao.

"Not yet, it's just a preliminary diagnosis. According to the blood test, there is a slight increase in white blood cells. One of the reasons for asking you to come for consultation is that I don't know much about this symptom. There is no psychosomatic doctor here at Sumikawa Hospital; a neurosurgeon is here. After the surgery, I should also come and see you later; I wonder how Dr. Muchun is doing now?"

"Has anyone in your family ever had a similar situation happen to you?" Muchun asked Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue shook her head and said decisively, "I've never seen it before."

Muchun explained to Zhao Xue the possible reasons for Deng Lin's symptoms and the possible further deterioration. When he heard that in severe cases, he might even urinate and defecate on the bed, Zhao Xue couldn't help but burst into tears again. .

"Don't be too nervous. It's not to this level yet, and it's just begun. Let's try to find out the cause. Maybe it's not that bad, or it's just a slight inflammatory reaction. As long as we treat it actively, it will be cured soon.

In addition, I need to clarify my diagnosis. Based on what happened in the past two days, Deng Lin's current condition is a state of psychomotor inhibition. This is a not too rare behavioral disorder caused by mental illness. The patient The limbs are like stiff wood, or even like wax statues, losing the ability to move, and maintaining a stiff posture for hours or even days. If not actively treated, it may worsen to the point of urinary and fecal retention. The cause may be a stress syndrome caused by a severe depressive state, or there may be other problems at the same time. "

Zhao Xue didn't understand what Muchun said about mental illness, but she understood "depression". This word is now a popular word. Many people use this word to describe themselves in a bad mood or very sad.

What Zhao Xue didn't expect was that the doctor would actually say that Deng Lin was in a state of severe depression. There is also catatonic syndrome. Zhao Xue also understands this word, and she subjectively feels that this word is very vivid and easy to understand.

"So why is she depressed? She has always been a very cheerful girl, very very cheerful, sometimes even too cheerful." Zhao Xue said while crying.

The white tissue in her hand was crumpled into a ball, getting smaller and smaller, and now there was no way to wipe away the tears that kept flowing from her.

"Then how to treat it now?" Zhao Xue asked.

"Let her rest more first. Let's try to think about this situation from another perspective." Mu Chun turned the flat palm from the back of the hand upward to the palm upward, and continued: "We can also change this state. From a perspective, it is like a kind of self-protection. Everyone may have experience that when we encounter something particularly unpleasant or something that cannot be solved, we don't want to move."

Qin Hao was the first to nod, "I just want to sleep."

Malu also nodded, "Yes, I just want to sleep, or close my eyes."

"Yeah, but Deng Lin has been asleep for a long time." Zhao Xue said.

"Yes, so she can't continue sleeping. Her consciousness knows that she can't continue sleeping, but she doesn't want to wake up, so she behaves in a physical sleep state and is very insensitive to stimulation. When I put When she raises her hand, it will stay in place for a few seconds and then slowly fall down.

Consciousness drives some behaviors, and Deng Lin's consciousness is making her stop some behaviors, like a stiff piece of wood.

Following this line of thinking, let's look at what makes her conscious unwilling to act and just wants to sleep or stay asleep. "

"Since Dr. Muchun has a relatively clear diagnosis, I will go to the other patients first." After speaking, Qin Hao nodded to Muchun, turned and walked to other wards.

"What about my daughter now?" Seeing that a doctor had left, Zhao Xue became increasingly anxious.

"Think about it, is there anything she doesn't want to face, but the world insists on her facing it." Mu Chun naturally meant this to Zhao Xue.

"What's up?"

"Deng Lin's mother, I think I need to remind you that Deng Lin committed suicide two days ago and is now in a state of high stress. These two things are not a joke. Shouldn't we think about why she committed suicide?" Is suicide worse than having her deny the fact that she committed suicide?"

"I" Zhao Xue was immediately speechless.

Malu glanced at Muchun, and he was really impressed that there could be such a doctor who dared to tell the truth. This was the first time Malu had seen it.

Since Ma Lu took over the case, the most common thing I heard Zhao Xue say was, "My daughter must not have committed suicide. You must find the murderer." However, Deng Lin said, "I did commit suicide." , has nothing to do with anyone, let this matter end."

The client himself said it was suicide, but the client's mother did not ask the client why she did this, and did not even urge the police to find out why Deng Lin committed suicide. Instead, she simply asked the police to find the murderer and asked her daughter what she was. Someone harmed her. This was the first time he had encountered such a mother in all these years of working on the street. He had never encountered such a thing before he became a police officer.
