I thought her idea was a little weird, so I looked at her hesitantly.
"Let's go take a look." Su Hua said to me, and then stretched out his hand to Azhu, "Give me the key to your house."
"No, I'm scared here alone." Azhu said crying.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't Chen Yuan and the children here?" Su Hua said loudly.
I immediately felt that A-Zhu was lying. It was obvious that her purpose was to move to me. My heart suddenly weakened, "Forget it, stop talking. A-Zhu, you can move here tomorrow."
"Feng Xiao, I have no objection to her moving here. What I mean is that her current situation is very bad because she has had hallucinations. So I think what she needs most now is to see a doctor. Azhu, you
If you feel that the impact of going to your hospital is not good, you can go to our hospital. Oh, it is not my hospital anymore..." Su Hua said, and when he said the next part, his expression suddenly became sad.
I glanced at Su Hua and then said: "Forget it, let's all go to bed early today. Azhu, you can stay here for one night temporarily. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
"I'm going to clean up the things on the table and wash the dishes," Su Hua said.
I nodded, "Azhu, come here and I'll ask you something."
Then I went to sit down on the sofa, and A-Zhu walked over slowly. I looked at her and said to her softly: "A-Zhu, sit down? Don't blame me, I'm doing it for your own good."
She sat down slowly, but did not speak. I asked her: "Azhu, tell me, were you lying to us just now?"
"No. I really saw her. Feng Xiao, why don't you believe me?" she said, looking like she was about to cry.
I was stunned and suddenly felt a little nervous. Because it seemed from her expression that she was not lying to me, so her condition was probably what Su Hua analyzed: she was hallucinating.
Ordinary people occasionally experience hallucinations, such as when they are extremely weak or frightened. But A-Zhu is different. She suffered the blow of the death of both her parents, and her mental age lags behind. Therefore, I think she has hallucinations.
The reason is more of a psychological illness.
It is not scary to have any disease in a person's body, because it can be seen and touched, and can be treated with drugs or surgery. Even patients with terminal illnesses have no choice but to accept their fate. But this is not the case with mental illness.
Because the patient always believes that what she sees, hears, or other feelings in his mind are real. In recent years, with the rapid development of economy and society, the pressure of competition and survival has become increasingly severe.
The number of people suffering from psychological problems has begun to increase at a geometric rate. Even a highly economically developed country like Japan cannot solve the increasing number of suicide problems. In our country, suicide behaviors caused by depression are also increasing.
I have a deep understanding of depression, because when I was in college, a female classmate in my class committed suicide because of this disease. My female classmate came from a single-parent family, was not tall, and was pretty and delicate.
Yes, her grades are above average in our class. Her initial reaction was inferiority complex: she always felt that she was too short and her grades were not particularly good, so she was particularly envious of those few in the class who had excellent grades and good looks.
A tall female classmate. Then she began to suffer from insomnia and world-weariness. She always felt that living in this world was meaningless. Depression has a distinctive feature, which is that it is "lighter during the day and heavier at night", that is to say, as soon as it arrives,
The feeling of being world-weary and troubled is particularly severe at night, and is most severe around dawn in the morning. So, my female classmate finally jumped from the building one morning and died on the spot.
Depression is treatable, but the problem is that people don't know they have it, and most people don't think of it as an illness.
Therefore, I often publicize to people around me: As long as I feel world-weary or have suicidal thoughts, the first thing I think of in this case is to see a doctor, not the real "you" who is world-weary.
, to commit suicide.
Azhu's situation does not seem to be depression. A person's perception of external things is completely controlled by the brain, and the final information obtained is processed by the brain. If the brain works normally, it can correctly understand the world, but if the brain is
Functional disorders caused by certain reasons such as lack of oxygen, overwork, disease, injury, etc. cannot correctly process the information sent by the sensory organs, resulting in processing errors and hallucinations.
My knowledge of psychiatry tells me that there are often two situations when hallucinations occur, one is schizophrenia, or early symptoms of schizophrenia, and the other is psychological problems. As for the problem that Azhu has, I am very concerned about it.
I hope she only has a psychological problem. Schizophrenia requires hospitalization, but mental illness only requires psychological dredging treatment. It also makes sense to analyze A-Zhu's hallucinations from a psychological perspective: her
Subconsciously, she must be expecting her parents or others to accompany her. The emergence of this kind of hallucination is closely related to the psychology of expectation. Because normal people may also have some fragments under the influence of ardent hope, strong expectation, and high tension.
A fleeting hallucination, but hallucinations generally do not last long.
Now, I think Su Hua's opinion is correct.
Although A-Zhu is also studying medicine, she doesn’t know much about psychiatry and human psychological problems. So I think the most important problem that needs to be solved at the moment is to make A-Zhu understand one thing: what she saw is really
Hallucination. Because only under such circumstances can she cooperate with the treatment. And the way to solve this problem is actually very simple, that is, take Azhu to her home. If she sees her mother and I don’t
, then she will believe that something is really wrong with herself.
So, I then said to Azhu: "Let's go to your house with you. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I think this matter is too incredible. Azhu, I am studying medicine, you want
The only way for me to believe you is to see it with my own eyes. How about that? Let’s go to your house now?”
She hesitated, and then nodded slightly.
I went to tell Su Hua, and she nodded, "Your method is the best. As long as she understands that it is a hallucination, you will take her to the psychological department of your hospital for treatment tomorrow. The tutor is no longer here, and we must help Azhu properly.
That’s it.”
I think Su Hua is also an emotional person. She has a heartfelt respect for her mentor, so I always think she is very good in nature. A person's attitude towards his relatives and teachers can reflect his deepest heart.
That kind of kindness.
I took Azhu downstairs and then drove.
Half an hour later we arrived at the door of Azhu's house and she was opening the door.
The door was opened by her, and she fumbled for the light behind the door. Suddenly, the living room was bright. Suddenly, A-Zhu said to me: "Feng Xiao, look at the sofa. Mom is sitting there. Look.
!”
I looked towards where her finger was, and my whole body stiffened suddenly. A feeling of horror that could not be described in words suddenly came over me. I was already in a state of suffocation...
I couldn't believe my eyes.
Just now, when I looked in the direction of A-Zhu's finger, I clearly saw a person sitting on the sofa with short, ear-length hair. Her back was turned to me. Judging from her body shape, she looked exactly like the mentor she was before she was alive!
Gone in an instant.
But I can see clearly.
My body finally began to loosen up, and I suddenly felt weak all over, as if all my strength had been drained out at that moment, and I leaned my body slumped against the wall.
"Did you see it too?" Azhu asked me softly.
I nodded. The image I just saw still shocked me until now, because it completely subverted my inherent world view. So, I couldn't help but start to wonder: Could it be that I was also hallucinating?
Yes, it must be an illusion. I said to myself.
"Azhu, let's go in. I guess it's an illusion." I turned around and said to her. She entered the room silently. I bravely went to the place where I saw the instructor sitting just now. The sofa was empty and there was nothing.
No.
I sat down slowly. Azhu also came over and sat down. I looked at her and said, "Azhu, it really might be an illusion. Why? First, we are all medical students and we shouldn't believe in those things.
existence. Second, I think this matter can be explained. Because you have been hurt in your heart and subconsciously do not believe that your mother has left this world. You and your mother have a deep relationship, so you only see you.
You are your mother but you cannot see your father. In fact, you have to know that as a parent, a father loves his daughter more. As for why I had a hallucination just now, I think it can be explained this way, that is: I was attracted by you
Influenced, from a psychological point of view, it means that I have been influenced by your subconscious mind. There is a saying in psychology called herd psychology, which means that individuals are affected by the behavior of external groups, and thus influence their own perception, judgment, and
Cognitively, the behavior is in line with public opinion or the majority of people. American James Thurber has a very vivid text to describe people's herd mentality: Suddenly, a person started running. Maybe he suddenly remembered that he had a relationship with the herd.
The lover's date has been out of date for a long time now. No matter what he thought, he started running on the street, running eastward. Another person also started running, this may be a newsboy in high spirits. The third person
, a fat gentleman who was in a hurry, also started to trot... Within ten minutes, everyone on this street was running. The noise gradually became clearer, and the word 'levee' could be heard clearly.
The embankment is broken!' This terrifying voice may have been shouted by an old woman on the tram, a traffic policeman, or a boy. No one knows who said it, and no one
They knew what really happened. But more than two thousand people suddenly ran away. 'Go east!' the crowd shouted. The east is far away from the river, and the east is safe. 'Go east! Go east!' Azhu, you understand.
Right?" I analyzed while talking. (To be continued)
