Crazy Psychologist

"I heard that Xiaoying ate two such big puffs this morning!" Liu Tiantian opened the takeout box and made a surprised sound.

Mu Chun heard the sound and looked around, only to see that the puffs in the box were much larger than the puffs he usually saw.

"You will definitely gain weight if you eat such big puffs." Chu Sisi shook her head, "You mean Xiaoying ate two of these puffs?"

"Yes, maybe as she said herself, her figure is natural and she will not gain weight from eating sweets at all."

Liu Tiantian tilted her neck, admiring the delicious puffs. She didn't care that she would gain weight after eating them. She worked so hard in the hospital, so she should reward herself by eating more.

"Well, I'll try the raspberry flavor too. I've never had it before." As she said that, Chu Sisi also picked up a puff and started eating it.

The two girls were chatting while eating, talking about some gossip news in the entertainment industry, looking happy.

Muchun looked at the happy looks of the two people and thought about the possible problems in Liu Xiaoying's body.

So far Muchun has not seen Liu Xiaoying's physical examination report, but according to Kerr, Liu Xiaoying's physical examination should be detailed and comprehensive.

Basically, the relationship between headaches and brain diseases can be ruled out.

So what is the reason for Liu Xiaoying’s headache? Is it caused by excessive exercise? Or does it just happen after exercise?

Among the more than 200 types of headaches, some are related to psychological disorders.

Here, psychological disorders refer to affective mental disorders, which are disorders whose basic characteristics are emotional changes. Such as anxiety, fear, depression, etc., which are mainly characterized by high or low emotions, accompanied by corresponding cognitive and behavioral changes.

In the brief half-hour contact, Muchun did not find that Xiaoying had any problems such as high mood and easy irritation. But it does not rule out that such situations do not exist in her daily life and work.

No psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions of coordinated or discordant moods were found.

This still made Muchun feel more at ease.

On the other hand, Xiaoying's depression level does not seem to be particularly manifest.

Depression is characterized by low mood, accompanied by loss of interest in daily life, loss of energy, psychomotor retardation, low self-esteem, self-blame or even self-guilt, slow thinking, little speech, loss of appetite, insomnia, depression to grief, etc. In severe cases, psychotic symptoms such as stupor, hallucinations, and delusions may occur.

Xiaoying's condition doesn't look serious. From the outside, it seems that the only problem is a headache.

The headache affected her sleep, her mood, and her ability to handle daily tasks.

Muchun also noticed an important piece of information. Xiaoying never had any headaches at work, which is worth noting.

The occurrence of psychological disorders is not only related to certain biological factors, especially genetics, and psychosocial factors such as traumatic life events, such as the death of relatives, major economic losses, etc., but is also closely related to chronic psychosocial stimuli, such as unemployment and chronic diseases. .

What Muchun needs to consider now is that in an environment like the entertainment industry, the possibility of external events triggering mental fatigue is very high.

The sense of competition faced by a female artist may be omnipresent, and while working, it will reduce the excitement brought by this sense of competition. Once she stops or takes a rest, it will actually cause anxiety.

This is a bit counter-intuitive, but it is probably the cause of Xiaoying's headache.

In addition, Mu Chun also needs to consider whether Xiaoying may be depressed. During the one-hour free time between the two jobs, Xiaoying has to rush to the hospital to run. Does this mean that she is too strict with her figure? Can’t you delay staying in shape?

If this is the case, why does Xiaoying have no taboos about food?

Maybe in disguise?

Muchun is worried that another reason why Xiaoying may be depressed is due to regular headaches.

You don’t get headaches when you’re working, but you get headaches when you’re not working.

This can be seen as regular symptom attacks, which is a common symptom of depressed patients.

Some patients report that they only experience depression in the morning or evening, but not at all during the day while at work.

However, it is still impossible to judge Xiaoying's specific situation based on the current information alone.

Regular changes in mood can serve as diagnostic criteria for psychological disorders, and are not limited to depression.

Anxiety and fear may cause changes in mood patterns.

For another example, patients with anxiety disorders may have difficulty falling asleep, while patients with depression often wake up in the middle of the night and then have difficulty falling back asleep.

In nature, people follow a diurnal pattern, with activity higher during the day and lower at night.

Not only that, most people can classify themselves as morning people or night owls. People's arousal levels throughout the day are driven by the body's biological clock, which is represented by peaks and changes in hormone levels, which cycle every 24 hours. Hormone levels are also affected by daily habits, such as sleep type, physical exercise, and medications.

Xiaoying's situation is quite special. The artist's schedule is more irregular than that of ordinary people. Xiaoying's symptoms obviously occur when she is not working. This is a pattern of changes between working hours and non-working hours. Muchun wonders whether the cause may be some kind of mental illness, which will gradually activate symptoms as the day goes by. attack, and the symptom of this initiation is headache.

So at present, the most likely reason is-stress.

After temporarily finding the cause, it is time to further analyze the stress.

In addition, Xiaoying's behavior of drinking a lot of water after exercising also attracted Muchun's attention. In Muchun's view, necessary physical examinations are still essential.

"By the way, Dr. Chu just said that Dr. Muchun has a book to be published. I don't know what it is. How come I haven't heard of it before?"

After eating the puffs, Liu Tiantian finally remembered this matter.

"It's a book about using micro-expressions to judge a person's inner psychology. The teacher actually used it entirely by hand. I didn't even know the teacher could draw."

Chu Sisi's eyes were full of admiration for Muchun, and she had no intention of hiding it.

Liu Tiantian was a little confused, "Why does Dr. Chu seem to know Dr. Muchun very well? Isn't it normal that Dr. Chun can draw that Dr. Chu doesn't know? After all, Dr. Chu comes to Huayuanqiao Community Health Center It’s only been a year.”

"Yes, yes." Chu Sisi quickly changed her words, "Dr. Kimura and I have not known each other for a long time, so it is normal for me to not know."

Liu Tiantian wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Muchun, "Has the publishing matter been decided yet?"

"Yes, my mother said that the publishing house appreciates such works very much, and hopes that Teacher Muchun can write more books. By the way, the editor in charge seems to have said that she hopes to have a chat with the teacher in person, and there are some details... specific I don’t know either, I should contact the teacher soon.”

"That's good. This way I can get a lot of royalties." Muchun smiled and waited for Chu Sisi's answer.

"It seems that there are only royalties. There won't be many new writers. It depends on the printing volume. If the book sells well in the end, you will definitely make more money. If it doesn't sell well, it will only be 20,000 to 30,000 at most. Teacher Muchun doesn't want it. The expectations are too high, after all, the teacher who writes books like this must want to spread some interesting knowledge to everyone, right?"

"Having said that." Muchun was a little embarrassed, with a strange expression on his face, "Anyway, why don't you earn more royalties?"

"Mom will help the teacher fight for it. Why is the teacher so eager to make money?"

"Because I need to develop a new application software. As you can see, there are not many patients in the outpatient department. I make money from outpatient fees. Oh my God, my income will always be at the bottom of the hospital."

Chu Sisi and Liu Tiantian, who hadn't seen Muchun crying for a long time, looked at each other and felt helpless for a moment, and even felt a little heartbroken.

"Is it the obsessive-compulsive disorder APP we designed together with Li Nan before?" Chu Sisi asked.

"What obsessive-compulsive disorder APP? Why is it something I don't understand?"

"Oh, no, doesn't Tiantian know about this? It was a project that the teacher and Li Nan discussed with an investor at a charity reception. This project had already found investors at that time, but because of what happened before Something happened, so there may be some problems with the investment temporarily."

"Question?" Liu Tiantian couldn't understand it more and more. "Let's talk about it one by one. Let's talk about the charity reception first. What charity reception? Can I attend?"

"Of course you can. Well, there are more charity receptions held every summer. I heard from my mother that there will be another charity reception at the end of this month. This time it seems that several charity organizations and the entertainment industry have been invited. Because after Liu Mei’s case, Liu Mei’s family’s business was greatly affected, so some of the public welfare projects they had promised to fund have now been stopped, including Li Nan and Teacher’s obsessive-compulsive disorder self-help APP project.”

"So it turns out that Liu Mei's case has affected public welfare projects. This is really a butterfly effect."

"This word is really hard to describe." Muchun complained.

Liu Tiantian handed the remaining Hokkaido original puff in the box to Mu Chun, "Doctor Mu, please eat one too, so that you can have the strength to make money."

Muchun picked up the puffs, put them in front of him and looked around carefully, then asked: "Are you stressed about eating this?"

"I didn't." Liu Tiantian answered first.

Muchun looked at Chu Sisi again.

"I'm actually fine, but Pan Xiaoqing will be very stressed."

"Well, why would Xiaoying eat two in a row without any pressure?"

"Doctor Mu, we are talking about the charity reception and your APP." Liu Tiantian rolled his eyes at Mu Chun.

"Making money is one thing, developing apps is another thing, finding sponsorship is another thing, but patients are still the most important thing. At least for patients who come to our outpatient department, we still can't ignore any detail, especially the first conversation. After that, we have to be clear about what we already know and what we need to know next time.”

Is this a sudden class? Chu Sisi immediately became serious.

Liu Tiantian stopped joking and listened carefully.

"Just the day before, Xiaoying's assistant came to Huayuanqiao Community Health Center, and Dr. Chu was also there. The assistant seemed to say that he hoped to invite me to visit. Is this the case?"

"Yes, the assistant was very arrogant at that time. He told us many times that he hoped we could understand. After all, he is a famous celebrity. It would be inconvenient to come to the hospital and cause all kinds of troubles. In short, the reason I have said a lot, just hoping that the teacher can agree to visit me."

"I heard Xia Xiaoying say the same thing about this. The other party's attitude was not very good. It's strange, why did you suddenly come to our hospital today?" Liu Tiantian followed Chu Sisi's words and complained.

"So obviously, if it wasn't an emergency, they wouldn't have suddenly appeared in the hospital, right?" Muchun asked.

"I think so, but what does this mean?" Chu Sisi looked at Muchun.

"Maybe you happened to be passing by here?" Liu Tiantian tried to answer.

"It is indeed possible," Muchun said, "but there is something special today. Look at the rain outside the window. It is still raining now, and it was the heaviest rain an hour ago."

"It's definitely not possible that they came to the hospital to take shelter from the rain, and I heard from what they said that they will have work soon."

Muchun nodded and confirmed Liu Tiantian's words.

"First, it is unusual to suddenly appear in the hospital during heavy rain; second, it is unusual to come to the hospital to see a doctor despite having important work next, and it is also during meal time."

"Unless you are eager to see a doctor!" Liu Tiantian rushed to speak.

"After all, this is a hospital. It should be said that they came to see a doctor despite such heavy rain. They must be eager to come for treatment. However, after they came to the hospital, they did not discuss their condition with the doctor. Instead, they took a fancy to the treadmill in our outpatient room. . So what would it be like if you could restore what happened at noon today?”

"Restore the incident?" Chu Sisi frowned, "What if Xiaoying came to the hospital at noon just for running? Because the assistant came to the hospital before to ask the teacher to visit. Although the teacher did not agree, he could understand the situation in the outpatient room. It’s said that I know it very well, and it must be impossible to ignore such a large treadmill.”

When Liu Tiantian heard this, he suddenly realized, "So it is possible that Xiaoying suddenly wanted to run. At this time, the assistant thought that there was an expensive treadmill in the mind and body clinic of Huayuanqiao, so he suggested that Xiaoying come to the hospital first. Running, and they seem to say that the next job is to go to the radio station. If it refers to the radio station in the city, it is only a twenty-minute drive from the Garden Bridge."

"Very good. Basically, we can tell that it's not Xiaoying who wants to see a doctor today. It's the assistant who is eager for Xiaoying to come to the hospital." Mu Chun concluded.

"Then Xiaoying will agree to come to the hospital not for medical treatment, but for running."

"That's probably the case." Muchun agreed with Liu Tiantian's analysis.

"On a rainy day, you came to the hospital specifically for running?" Chu Sisi looked at Mu Chun doubtfully, "This is a bit..."

"It's a bit exaggerated!" Liu Tiantian blurted out without thinking.
