"Of course it's different. First of all, you have to understand what dual personality disorder is and what schizophrenia is. Dual personality disorder is a type of multiple personality disorder. This disease has a very prestigious scientific name: dissociative identity disorder. Most of the triggers are from childhood abuse, especially sexual abuse, which causes another personality to appear in the body. It's equivalent to having multiple souls living in the body. "
"Patients with multiple personality disorder don't know anything about the other personalities in their body." Director Li said with assurance, "And patients with schizophrenia are a clinical syndrome composed of a group of symptoms. It's a multi-factorial disease. Oh, I might be too complicated. To put it simply, schizophrenia is far more complicated than multiple personality disorder. Its symptoms are not simple confusion of mind. Clinical symptoms include perception disorders, thinking disorders, emotional disorders, consciousness and behavior disorders, cognitive dysfunction … "
Qin Ze and his sister looked at each other in silence, both dumbfounded.
To be honest, Qin Ze had always thought that dual personality disorder was schizophrenia.
Director Li looked at their expressions and smiled. "Then I'll put it more simply. Multiple personality disorder refers to the different characters in the body. Their personalities, names, and genders may be different. The patient will switch between different personalities. This kind of patient is very rare. In ancient times, people called it ghost possession.
"Have you seen 'Brainstorm'? The protagonist is a police officer, but he's also a criminal. He arrests criminals, upholds justice, and plans murders to commit the perfect crime. But the two personalities of the police and the criminal are not connected. They don't know each other's existence.
"Schizophrenia means that the patient has separated himself from the real world. He is still a persona, but this persona lives in a different world. He rambles nonsense, he is crazy, and he is completely cut off from the world of rationality."
Qin Bao Bao suddenly understood. "In other words, multiple personality disorder, in a sense, is actually no different from normal people. And schizophrenia is a lunatic. "
Director Li pondered for a moment. "It's one-sided, but it's not wrong."
Qin Ze said, "Can I see a specific example with my own eyes?"
Director Li smiled and nodded. "Miss Qin came this time to understand the details. No matter how much I say, it'll be confusing to you. Come with me."
This kind of professional mental hospital was large and had two types: open and closed. The former was for mild mental illnesses such as depression, mania, and so on. The latter was the type that couldn't be released.
On the way, Qin Ze held his sister's shoulder with one hand. He actually wanted to hug her waist, but they were in the hospital, so it was inconvenient. If he brazenly hugged his sister's waist, Director Li might be kind enough to give him psychological counseling and tell him that it was wrong to have a sister complex, whether it was mentally or physically.
To keep up with the times, he directly handed over an orthopedic specialist's business card and patted his shoulder: This is all I can help you with.
The reason why he had to hold his sister's shoulder was because he was sending a message with his head lowered.
His partner was Qian Shishi. The petite beauty discussed the script with him in high spirits and complained about the director's "harshness".
The single female artistes in the company all liked to chat with him. Ye Liu, Xu Jiao, Li Wei, they all messaged him for no reason.
Qin Ze wasn't impatient at all. He wasn't aloof either and tried his best to chat with the other party happily.
Qin Bao looked at the naughty pictures Qian Shishi sent and frowned unhappily. "We're doing business. What are you chatting about?"
There are always flirtatious sluts trying to seduce the pig that I raised painstakingly.
His sister's jealous expression could tug at one's heartstrings. Qin Ze comforted her, "Don't be a coward."
Right, I can't afford A.
Qin Bao, "???"
.....
Director Li called over a doctor on duty and asked, "Did you give any counseling to the patients in the ICU today?"
The doctor said, "Teacher, not yet. According to the usual practice, it starts at 3 pm."
Director Li said, "Let's start earlier today." Then, he said to Qin Ze, "Let's go to the treatment room."
The so-called treatment room was a small room. The walls were painted blue and the furnishings were simple. There was a table and two chairs. The light above their heads was very gentle.
Director Li said that simple decorations could soothe the patients' emotions. There was psychological knowledge in it. Psychiatry and psychology were closely related.
The doctor's surname was Du. He was Director Li's student. At this time, he took off his white coat and wore a short-sleeved shirt. The white coat would irritate the patients and make them resist or even overreact.
He sat at the table and waited for patient number three to be sent over.
There was a huge mirror on one side of the small room. It was actually a one-way glass. Qin Ze, his sister, and Director Li stood behind the glass and could watch the whole treatment process.
Seeing the symptoms and treatment of schizophrenia patients with their own eyes would be helpful for Qin Ze to write the script.
Soon, a patient was brought in by a nurse. It was a young man. He was no more than 25 years old. Except for his pale face, there was nothing wrong with him.
Doctor Du said, "Hello, friend. We meet again."
The young man glanced at him and did not respond. He just sat there in a daze.
Doctor Du tapped on the table gently. It implied a certain rhythm and gradually attracted the young man's attention.
"How's your health recently?"
The young man nodded.
Doctor Du casually chatted with him. The young man did not seem to have any special symptoms so far.
Doctor Du said, "You have a girl you like."
"Yes." The young man said, "My Wei Wei is the prettiest and the cutest, but I can't find her."
Suddenly, he became agitated and stared at Doctor Du with pleading eyes. "I can't find her. I can't find her. Can you help me find her?"
Doctor Du nodded. "We have already informed the police. You just wait quietly. There will be results. Oh right, you can buy some flowers and give them to her when you see her. "
The young man nodded hard.
Doctor Du probed, "What do you think of chrysanthemums?"
The young man's face changed. His expression became frightened. He fidgeted and his body trembled slightly.
"Roses. I think roses are good." Doctor Du said, "What do you think?"
The young man quieted down and nodded slightly.
Behind the one-way glass, Director Li said, "You see, since he entered the room until now, he has been very anxious and does not like to communicate with people. This is a typical emotional disorder in schizophrenia."
Qin Ze nodded hard. "Did he suffer a setback in his relationship?"
Director Li said, "No, this person is a web writer. Because of the huge workload, he could not bear the burden. Because he could not bear the increasing pressure, he stopped updating."
Qin Ze said, "This will get him a razor blade."
Director Li said, "His situation is worse than a razor blade. After he stopped updating, a few readers pretended to care about him and enlightened him. They came to the city where he lived to meet and chat with him. That day, they drank. After drinking, he was taken to a hotel by a few readers and was subjected to inhumane torture. Then, he had schizophrenia. From then on, he could no longer hear the word 'chrysanthemum'. "
"We once thought that this was the cause of schizophrenia. Later, we found out that it was not. After he was hospitalized, he often said the same thing, 'I can't find her. I can't find her.' The person he could not find was called Wei Wei."
"His girlfriend?"
"No, that's the female protagonist in his book. He's actually mentally ill since a long time ago. He confuses the real world with the virtual world, imagining that he has a perfect girlfriend named Vivian. He has cut himself off from the rational world, and the things that the readers do are just the trigger for his illness. This is another kind of cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. "
"What's his pen name?"
"I think it's called …" Director Li thought for a moment. "Newspaper seller?"
Qin Ze nodded. He had a better understanding of schizophrenia patients.
The next patient was number 9. He was a middle-aged man. He was neither dull nor anxious. Instead, he talked with the doctor.
Director Li said, "He was locked up for intentional injury. You see, he doesn't seem to have any problems, but in fact, his schizophrenia is the most serious."
"What do you mean?"
"His wife had always been in love with her ex-boyfriend and had cheated on him many times. Later, her ex-boyfriend died unexpectedly and his wife was depressed. This man loved his wife so much that he imagined himself as her ex-boyfriend. After a long time, he started to believe that he was really her ex-boyfriend. The two identities caused his consciousness to be confused and he spoke incoherently. One moment, he said he was her ex-boyfriend and the next, he was sober. What he got was not his wife's love but her fear. During an argument, he accidentally pushed his wife down the stairs and she was seriously injured. So far, our treatment has not improved. Mental illness is very troublesome. It requires long-term psychological counseling and medication. Even so, many people can't break free for the rest of their lives. The symptoms are very similar to the previous online author. "
Love is a ray of light, so green that it makes you despair.
This was probably the most realistic portrayal of a middle-aged man.
Qin Ze sighed.
He moved on to the next patient.
This time, the patient who came in was neither dull nor anxious. Instead, he was a little lively. He looked around with a smile on his face.
When he sat down, Doctor Du said, "Hello."
Looking at the high-school-age patient, he immediately raised his eyebrows. "How so?"
Doctor Liu obviously knew that he would say that. He said indifferently, "I'm very happy to meet you again, old friend."
The high-school-age patient asked, "How happy?"
Doctor Liu was unmoved. "Can we talk?"
The high-school-age patient said, "Sure, WeChat is like QQ."
Doctor Liu said, "Don't you want to recover? Don't you want to leave here? Don't you want to go to school and surf the Internet like your peers? Don't you want to be reunited with your parents?"
The high-school-age patient said, "I want a baby, the warm kind."
Behind the one-way glass, Qin Ze was speechless for a long time.
"He's asking for a beating." Qin Bao Bao muttered.
"Yes, half of the reason why he came here was because he was beaten up by his classmates." Chief Li sighed. "This child has serious delusions. He wants to earn points every day and become the king of the world with poisonous chicken soup. Otherwise, the system will erase him. His so-called points are to scold his classmates, parents, and teachers every day. He is complacent and thinks that he is different from others. He is proud of it. In fact, his approach is just to isolate himself. In real life, such people are asking for a beating. They are not worth looking forward to or learning from. He is beaten up every day in school. His parents sent him here, hoping that he can return to normal. He said that he can communicate with the system. This is a classic perception disorder. "
Qin Ze's balls tightened, and his chrysanthemum turned cold.
'Am I also a f * cking schizophrenic?'
For this reason, he opened the points store. Although others could not see it, he could see and feel its real existence.
He was relieved.
"Let's change." Qin Ze did not want to continue with this case. He said, "Is there anything more serious?"
"Yes." Chief Li contacted Doctor Du in the small room through the microphone. "Bring patient 11."
Patient 11 arrived in a short while.
He was very thin, skinny, and his eyes were sunken. He was led by the caregiver, and he looked very nervous and anxious.
Doctor Du said, "What's your name?"
Patient 11 said, "Lao Yang."
"What's your job?"
"I am the Emperor. Why don't you kneel?" Patient 11 spat at Doctor Du and said angrily, "Kneel now, or I will drag you out of the Meridian Gate and behead you."
Doctor Du waved his hand helplessly.
The caregiver immediately went forward and carried him away.
"Let go of me, let go of me …" Patient 11's shouts could be heard faintly. "There are always unruly people who want to harm me, there are always unruly people who want to harm me …"
"This is hopeless." Chief Li sighed. "As a doctor, perhaps it is not suitable, but it is indeed hopeless. He already has very, very serious schizophrenia. He said that he is the emperor, but the lie detector could not detect it because he believes from the bottom of his heart that he is the emperor. Moreover, he is the emperor in distress whose country is in a precarious situation. He always feels that someone wants to harm him and usurp the throne. This is the thinking disorder in schizophrenia. In layman's terms, it is persecutory delusion. "
