"Well, what is this book "The Globalization of American Mental Illnesses" about? Are mental illnesses divided into American and European styles? Shouldn't there be a set of standards that can be used globally?" Onikawa Xiaofu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
.
Facing Mr. Onikawa's question, Liu Xing shook his head and said, "Sir, you are not a medical student, so you don't know the history of certain medical terms. Take the post-traumatic stress disorder that Masachi Sakai just mentioned, or
Let me give an example of PTSD that you are more familiar with. This term appeared not that far away from us; after the war in South Vietnam decades ago, the country on the top of the sea once again suffered a big loss because
The talking trees made their soldiers unable to defend themselves, so some soldiers suffered from some mental problems, and these problems were simply and crudely summarized as PTSD."
"PTSD, to put it simply, means that a person is stimulated for various reasons, so if there is a similar type of stimulation after that, even if this stimulation is insignificant compared to the stimulation he has received before, this
As a result, people will do all kinds of irrational behavior, and even resort to violent means; it must be admitted that the summary of PTSD is actually very accurate. Those retired soldiers will indeed suffer from the explosions and scattered flesh and blood in daily life on the battlefield.
Sudden loud noises have an adverse reaction to medium-rare steaks.”
"It is precisely because the accuracy of the summary of PTSD is very high that it has been recognized by the vast majority of people... To use an analogy that may not be accurate here, PTSD is like a meme on the Internet. From the beginning it
It only sticks to its own one-third of an acre of land, and only those who have really come into contact with it will say a few words casually. However, as it spreads faster and faster on the Internet, more and more people have not seen it.
Its original source will also start to use it when they think it is right; but in the end, this meme may completely break the circle. As long as it can be combined with this meme or even its derivatives, you will be able to use it.
You can see the existence of this meme.”
"This is how PTSD developed. Originally it only referred to the mental problems of retired soldiers. However, intentionally or unintentionally, the concept of PTSD covered a variety of groups until it refers to all
So far... Although some people currently believe that animals and even plants can suffer from PTSD; as the saying goes, where there are people, there will be business. To use a less scientific analogy, PTSD is a blue ocean market, and
Everywhere you look there are big and small fish jumping around, so as a fisherman, what is the most important thing for you to do now?"
"It goes without saying that we can just sail out to sea and go fishing!"
Looking at Yamamoto Makoto, who cooperated with him as his admiration, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Yes, the capital that smelled the smell swarmed up like sharks, and soon divided up this blue ocean, big and small.
Psychological clinics have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. At the same time, various drugs for treating mental illnesses have also emerged. However, it is always faster to eat the cake than to make it. So soon this blue ocean market has become a red ocean market, and the choice before everyone is
There are only two things—either fewer people eat the cake, or the cake becomes bigger.”
"If you choose the former, everyone will have to fight with real swords and guns, and both sides will bear certain losses. But more importantly, this is not two sides, but ten parties, and hundreds of forces are sitting on the same table.
Well, if so many forces are really angry, then the table will most likely not be saved; so their only choice is to make the cake bigger, but there are so many retired soldiers with problems, you can't always say
All retired soldiers have problems, right?"
"Expand the scope of?"
Kogawa Koo suddenly said: "As long as the definition of PTSD is expanded, more people will naturally suffer from PTSD."
Liu Xing looked at Mr. Guchuan with some surprise, and said seriously: "Fortunately, Mr., you joined us, otherwise I think you might be hung from a street lamp in more than 20 years; yes, since Coca-Cola
It is Fat House Happy Water, so Pepsi-Cola, which is a direct competitor, is naturally Fat House Happy Water. Going further down, Sprite and Fanta, both sodas, can also be considered Fat House Happy Water, followed by orange juice and iced tea, which are also flavored drinks.
You can also just use it as the happy water for a fat house... Finally, boiled water is also a happy water for a fat house!"
"After setting the main tone, these capitals have to start operating. After all, you can't just tell passers-by that you are sick right from the start, right? So you have to do something to make passers-by believe that you are sick, so there is an overwhelming
The publicity began, but it had little effect at the beginning, because you couldn't come up with a suitable example to prove that everyone here may be sick; at this time, a tsunami swept through South Asia, affecting many people.
It caused serious impact in several countries, and then many international volunteers entered the disaster area."
Speaking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but snorted, "Guess what, a large number of psychiatrists among these volunteers ran to the disaster area without bringing anything with them. Then when they saw a victim, they said you have PTSD and you need them to come."
Treatment... Of course, what I say may be a bit extreme, but in fact, in the past two decades, whenever there is a large-scale natural disaster or man-made disaster, keywords such as PTSD and psychiatrist will become more popular, even if
What the victims need is all kinds of material assistance, and the capital will also force them to get psychological help, or stabbing them with a knife."
"Yes, Western psychologists have a concept - psychological abscess. To put it simply, if a person keeps bad things or emotions in his heart, abscesses will appear one after another in the person's psychology. Finally,
Various mental illnesses naturally develop, so Western psychologists like to ask patients to talk about the painful past events deep in their hearts. This is also the reason why there are many psychological mutual aid groups in the West, allowing a group of people with the same problems to gather together.
Reveal the scars.”
Sakai Masachi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "During the earthquake and tsunami a few years ago, as a medical student, I also became a volunteer, and the volunteer who lived in the same tent with me was a psychologist from Europe and the United States.
The doctor, because I could assist him in his work as a translator, ended up giving up my job on the first day of working with him... The reason was very simple. His first 'patient' was an eight-year-old who had lost his parents.
Child, and the first sentence he asked me to translate - your mother is gone, the second sentence - your father is gone, and the third sentence - your family is gone."
"Wang Defa, Sakai Changzhi, you didn't even beat this guy?!" Mr. Kokawa couldn't help but said.
Masachi Sakai shrugged and said helplessly: "No, because this is indeed the standard routine of European and American psychiatrists, even if it sounds a little uncomfortable."
"People who don't have any psychological problems in the first place will have problems after being asked this question."
Liu Xing sneered and said: "Anyway, they are just volunteers. They can leave after staying in the disaster area for ten days and a half. As for the remaining mess, others will be responsible for it, and they can live in peace and quiet."
Before my introduction, I added the sentence that I had participated in the rescue of a certain country, and capital was constantly promoting them, exerting a subtle influence on ordinary people, making people mistakenly think that psychological intervention is a necessary rescue in disaster areas... Say something
To put it bluntly, I personally think that those psychiatrists who go to disaster areas will do more harm than good to the local area."
"Going back to the previous topic, in addition to the practice of increasing their presence in order to subtly influence public perception, some capitals also directly invite internationally renowned psychology experts in the name of conferences, allowing them to eat, drink and live well.
Okay, then let’s discuss together whether a certain behavior is a form of PTSD? OK, since everyone thinks it is, then we will treat people who have this behavior as PTSD patients! In this way, a large number of experts
I also started to contribute my own part so that more people can suffer from PTSD."
Liu Xing paused, looked at the people in the car and said, "Now, if the four of us go to European and American psychological clinics for diagnosis, at least two of us will become mentally ill."
"I definitely have PTSD."
Sakai Masachi raised his hand and said: "To be precise, it's not that I have it, but the psychiatrist thinks that I should have it, because you have suffered such a big change, how can you pretend that nothing happened? This is not
Science."
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Creating concepts, spreading them, and obtaining benefits are essentially the communication logic used by Goebbels during World War II. To put it simply, it is a repeater - copying a sentence
If a lie is repeated a hundred times in front of a person, then there is a high probability that the person will think this sentence is true. If there is a reputable organization at this time to stand up for this sentence, then it may only be
Fifty times can make people believe it; this is the so-called Goebbels effect, and the reason why European and American countries regard 'propaganda' as a derogatory term is inseparable from Goebbels."
"Unfortunately, what European and American countries like to do most is double standards. They are now taking advantage of the Goebbels effect to expand the scope of application of certain diseases or drugs, or simply create some new diseases, because new diseases represent
There are new drugs and new benefits; compared with ordinary diseases, mental illness is very subjective, because it has no significant characteristics and precise indicators. Therefore, if you now judge whether a person has a mental illness, other than a psychiatrist
In addition to conducting inquiries, a set of test papers are given to the patient to answer the questions, and the score is considered to be sick."
"Well, it seems like this is true. Except for those severely ill patients with obvious symptoms, it is really difficult to tell whether a person has a mental illness or not." Kogawa Kofu said with a nod.
Liu Xing smiled and continued: "So, dear husband, if you look at the reports in recent years, you can find that the number of patients with mental illness is increasing year by year, and the main growth points are anxiety disorders and depression.
It is the most subjective mental illness, and most of it is mild... For these mild patients, many psychiatrists take the attitude that if you are willing to have it, then I am also willing to diagnose it, and they will not refuse anyone who comes."
"As a result, many of these mild patients deliberately label themselves, because this will allow them to benefit in some ways. For example, some public figures who want to whitewash themselves will use the excuse that they have depression or
Talking about anxiety disorders proves that you are reflecting on yourself or have suffered severe online violence."
Sakai Masachi sighed and said depressedly: "I don't know what's going on now, but even mental illness can become a trend. This is a stab in the back for real patients, because the fake is the real thing.
Sometimes it’s true and false.”
Masachi Sakai’s words made Yamamoto who was standing beside him couldn’t help but sigh: “Yes, I used to have a friend who suffered from depression. As a result, people around him thought he was pretending, so he was finally forced to
The only choice is to commit suicide; but then again, although those evil capitals change the world for their own benefit, PTSD should not be a big problem for Gu Ya, right? Unless he is really hypnotized."
"wrong."
Liu Xing said without hesitation: "I don't think Gu Ya was hypnotized, nor did he suffer from PTSD, because he might be... I have to ask first, do you believe in the existence of ghosts and gods?"
"believe."
"I don't believe it."
Yamamoto, who said he didn't believe it, looked at Masachi Sakai in surprise, and Masachi Sakai said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I may have involved you in a, uh, how should I say, supernatural event
?”
Because he had personally entered the mirror world, Masachi Sakai had already corrected his mentality.
"Wang Defa?! What the hell is a supernatural event?"
Yamamoto said with a confused look: "Aren't we going to use guns? Why do we have to use magic now?"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right."
Kogawa Kofu stretched out and said: "Friend, you have to be mentally prepared now. If we are lucky, we will only have to fight people with guns. If we are unlucky, it will be a duel between gunpowder and magic. As for
If our luck is really bad, then we have to prepare to run away, because the power of the pistol is not enough to penetrate the skin of those monsters."
"monster?!"
Yamamoto Zhen parked the car on the side of the road and said with an incredulous look: "Are there really monsters in this world? Don't lie to me. I went to college."
"I also went to college, but monsters do exist."
Kogawa Kofu took out his mobile phone and handed it to Yamamoto Makoto, and said with a smile: "I'll say it again, I hope you can be mentally prepared, because it is normal for ordinary people not to be scared when they see a real monster for the first time.
