Chapter 42: The Flawed Doctor

"Dad, I must go to see ...... today But I really don't want to go. Huang Jiaxi looked in the mirror while looking at his new pink coat.

Huang Jinglun made an appointment with Dr. Dong from the psychological clinic last week and took Huang Jiaxi for a follow-up visit today.

Depression is usually treated for about three months, and if the child's condition worsens during this period, it is necessary to go to the clinic immediately for diagnosis. If your child's condition is stable, then take some antidepressant medication, and that's fine.

Mother Guo Fu said gently: "There is an enthusiastic uncle there who will let you do some interesting questions...... There are also delicious sweets and the latest toys. ”

"Don't, I don't like it there!" Huang Jiaxi grimaced, unhappy.

Cui Tao on the side couldn't see it, and his parents wanted to take Huang Jiaxi for psychotherapy. Alas, such a young child does not understand anything, and she probably should not bear this mental burden.

Huang Jiaxi picked up Cui Tao and shook his body from side to side. Cui Tao stuck out his tongue and licked the back of Huang Jiaxi's hand.

"Hehe, it's so itchy...... Okay, it's okay if you want me to go, but I'm going to bring the fries with me. Huang Jiaxi smiled.

Huang Jinglun and Guo Fu glanced at each other, and replied in unison: "Of course you can!"

Well, Cui Tao feels that he can't always stay at home and be a watchdog, and in the long run, it is estimated that he is about to become depressed. It is better to take this opportunity to listen to the opinions of psychologists, and maybe you can also benefit a lot.

This private psychological clinic is called "One Point Talk". The name is straightforward enough, but it's a bit vulgar.

The decoration inside is very luxurious, whether it is the front desk or the closed consultation room, it is spacious, bright, clean and tidy. It doesn't look like a hospital, but a five-star hotel.

One-on-one appointments allow doctors and patients to communicate with each other in a confidential manner. This is also an important reason why Huang Jinglun's family takes a fancy to this place.

"Please come in!" shouted Dr. Dong inside.

Huang Jiaxi walked into the consultation room with Cui Tao and his parents. The walls are warm-colored, the ceiling is semi-circular, and the furnishings are all round.

"Little friend, your dog ......" The three of them sat opposite Dr. Dong, who looked at Cui Tao and smiled.

"Helps to ease the mood. Guo Fu explained.

Guo Fu took Cui Tao from Huang Jiaxi's hands and put him on the ground. Cui Tao half-squatted on the ground and looked up at Dr. Dong. This Dr. Dong looks to be in his fifties, has a lot of energy, gives people a sense of calm and steady, and his voice is also mellow and trusting.

Dr. Dong took out a plush toy giraffe from a drawer and stuffed it into Huang Jiaxi.

"It's been almost three months since the last time. How's it going?"

Guo Fu continued: "Uh...... The overall performance was okay, with occasional ...... That ......" Because Huang Jiaxi was present, Guo Fu said very vaguely.

"Okay, I see. According to the process, I want to do some interesting questions for the children first, are you ready?" Dr. Dong took out an A4 piece of paper with some psychological test questions on it.

Cui Tao took a closer look, it was dense, and there were many topics.

For example, do you feel like you have a lost appetite or often overeat? Do you think that life is worthless or worse than death? Do you feel that the future is bleak? Do you think that you are old or have lost your attractiveness?

"Dr. Dong, these topics ...... It doesn't seem to be suitable for children. Guo Fu questioned it after reading it.

"Really?" Dr. Dong took the test and looked at it, then replaced it with another one from the drawer. "I'm sorry, I took it wrong. This scroll is for people over 80 years old......"

Cui Tao was also speechless, thinking that he hoped that he would not make a mistake this time.

Do you have frequent insomnia, or are you groggy all day, do you feel guilty about everything, do you feel like you can't compare to your friends or classmates......

Huang Jiaxi took the pencil and did a full 30 questions in one go. Fortunately, they are all multiple-choice questions, so the speed is fast.

Dr. Dong took Huang Jiaxi's test questions and crossed Erlang's legs on the chair to look at it. He held a red pen in his hand and drew circles and crosses on the answer to the question.

"The results are out...... Dr. Dong said seriously to Huang Jiaxi's parents.

Huang Jinglun and Guo Fu immediately became nervous, and Guo Fu also held her daughter's hand tightly.

"Moderate to mild, with significant improvement...... Dr. Dong said succinctly.

Hearing Dr. Dong's words, both Huang Jinglun and Guo Fu breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time Cui Tao participated in this kind of consultation, and he didn't understand what the doctor meant by "moderate to mild". But looking at the expressions of Huang Jiaxi's parents, it should be a better result.

"Of course, this is only a written test, but we also have to do a physical test. Tina, please come in. Dr. Dong shouted out the door.

After a while, a lady in a nurse's uniform walked in. "This aunt will take you to a fun place with lots of toys and sweets. ”

"Mom, I'm scared ......" Huang Jiaxi didn't want to go.

"It's okay, that place can only be played by children, and your father and I can't get in. You're going to get some more candy, we're waiting for you here. Guo Fu comforted.

Huang Jiaxi left here with the nurse aunt nervously.

Originally, Cui Tao wanted to take a look with him, but he felt that this was a hospital and he paid more attention to privacy, and he would definitely be kicked out. Let's stay here for a while and hear what Dr. Dong has to say.

"Dr. Dong, our child has not been emotionally stable recently, and sometimes when I communicate with her, she doesn't want to talk to us and locks herself in her room......," Guo Fu said anxiously.

"That's in her, there's a lot of negative energy in her. If you don't expel it for a long time, you will have an aversion to talking to people, and you will develop a withdrawn personality, which will be dangerous in the long run. Dr. Dong replied.

Huang Jinglun asked: "But I see that she is usually quite normal, and occasionally has a little temper, are these all depression?"

Cui Tao also felt that Huang Jiaxi's depressive symptoms were not obvious, too much, just a kind of emotional fluctuations. But he is not an expert in this area himself, so let's listen to a professional psychologist.

"You haven't had depression, so you can't imagine the pain of being in it. It's like a bottomless pit that swallows up all hope...... She's still young, and with her own strength, it's hard to get out......" Dr. Dong said firmly.

Guo Fu's heart frowned, she didn't expect depression to be so terrible, and her heart was suspended again.

"Doctor Dong, then how should we help her to get her out of the psychological shadow?" asked Huang Jinglun anxiously.

"Of course, from the test questions just now, I can already see that her symptoms are improving overall. There is still hope, and we need to give our children more time. For now, the symptoms will continue to recur, which shows that the medication is not enough......" Dr. Dong continued.

Huang Jinglun asked with some confusion: "Medicine?"

"Yes, treatment from the outside world alone will be slow, and the child's mind will not be able to adjust itself. I recommend increasing medication to help get rid of depression as soon as possible. With that, Dr. Dong took out a medicine jar from the cabinet. "This is the latest antidepressant in the United States, and it has been used by more than 1 million patients, and the effect is very good!"

However, she has already taken a lot of medicine. Guo Fu asked.

Dr. Dong said: "The previous drug has been resistant, and the efficacy of the new drug will be better. Take one bottle of this medicine a month, and I believe that your children will soon come out of the shadow of depression. ”

Hearing Dr. Dong say this, Huang Jinglun and Guo Fu rekindled their hope. Any good news about Huang Jiaxi is a great encouragement to them.

Cui Tao felt that this Dr. Dong spoke in a strange tone, and he was full of spirit when he was selling medicine, a bit like a medical representative.

"This medicine costs 3,800 yuan a bottle, and a course of treatment is 3 bottles. Dr. Dong took out the medicine paper and began to write the prescription.

Cui Tao was also taken aback when he heard this price, this American medicine is too expensive, 3 bottles cost nearly 12,000 yuan, it's unbelievable!

"As long as ...... The child's illness can be cured, and money is not an issue. Huang Jinglun patted Guo Fu's hand and said to Dr. Dong.

"This drug is currently in high demand and is sold out in the United States. I also asked someone to buy it from the sea, and the labor cost didn't count you. Dr. Dong added.

Mr. and Mrs. Wong have repeatedly thanked Dr. Huang and are full of admiration for Dr. Dong.
