Chapter 441: A Real Nightmare!
“…… Hmmm!"
Kwon Yuna nodded with a complicated face, and explained softly, "'PTSD', which stands for post-traumatic stress disorder. After listening to me explain your general situation, my senior suddenly raised a possibility that I hadn't thought of before, that is...... Mr. Han, is your illness not related to physical trauma, but to mental, or psychological? Because human brain diseases are sometimes not only due to pathological reasons, but also to the human psyche. ”
After listening to Kwon Yun'er's explanation, Han Yu's face swelled with an indescribable stiffness and weirdness, and he stared at Kwon Yun'er with a strange look in his eyes for a while, and then said in a tone that sounded a little hesitant: "Meaning...... Dr. Kwon, what do you think of my spirit...... Something went wrong?"
Quan Yun'er's face seemed to be a little more complicated when she heard this, but she nodded without much hesitation, "That's pretty much what it means." ”
As soon as he heard Quan Yun'er's words, Han Yu was silent again.
To be honest, in the face of this "news" that Kwon Yuna gave him, which can be said to be completely unexpected, Han Yu really didn't know how to express his feelings at this time for a while.
So after being speechless for a while, Han Yu reopened his mouth hesitantly and asked Kwon Yun'er, "So...... Dr. Kwon, this 'PTSD'...... What kind of disease is it?"
Glancing at the strange-looking man in front of her, Kwon Yuna pursed her lips, and then patiently explained: "Post-traumatic stress disorder, simply put, is a mental disorder that occurs and persists after a person experiences, witnesses, or encounters actual death, or is threatened with death, or is seriously injured, or has a threat to physical integrity. The experience here can be your own or what you see others happening to. All in all, it's the kind of event that can have a huge impact on people. ”
Han Yu frowned when he heard this, "For example...... Car accident?"
"Hmm......" Kwon Yun'er nodded, thought about it, and explained as if adding: "Because normal people often have a great impact on their minds when facing events like car accidents that can make them feel the threat of death, and a lot of negative emotions such as fear and worry will be generated in their hearts, and these more extreme negative emotions will stimulate our brains and produce some corresponding symptoms." To put it simply, it's a bit like ...... It's like being 'frightened'. Merely...... The sequelae of this 'frightened' are quite serious. ”
Listening to Quan Yun'er's words, Han Yu's face was faintly dazed, and in the silence, there seemed to be a hint of surprise flashing in his slightly narrowed black eyes.
I have to say that Kwon Yuna's words really shook Han Yu's heart.
Originally, when he first heard the conclusion that Kwon Yoon-a put forward the so-called mental problem was his mental problem, although he was a little confused, Han Yu's first reaction was actually subconsciously sneering.
It may be a bit ridiculous and weird to say this, but in Han Yu's heart, no one can be more sure of his psychological normality than himself who has lived alone in a dark house like a weak insect for more than ten years.
If he didn't have a healthy mindset, he wouldn't be able to survive for so many years anyway.
But in the current situation, throwing away all other factors, Kwon Yun'er's conclusive words had to convince Han Yu.
If there is really nothing wrong with his body, then the explanation Kwon Yuna gave him may be the only explanation that can make sense at the moment.
It's just that there are still some doubts and doubts in Han Yu's heart.
"Dr. Kwon ......"
"Huh?"
"So amnesia...... Is it also one of the symptoms of PTSD?"
Kwon Yun'er squinted slightly, as if she was not surprised that Han Yu would ask such a question, she pondered slightly, and then replied: "There are actually many symptoms of PTSD, such as constantly having nightmares related to the traumatic event, memories of the scene of the traumatic event or things related to it repeatedly, listlessness, anxiety, and even mania, often accompanied by excessive alertness. ”
"For patients with PTSD, their nerves are like a tight rope, and even a little 'flutter' can be clearly felt by them, so if the patient is in a serious condition, there may be suicidal or aggressive behavior, such as depression and other symptoms. ”
Among the various symptoms of stress disorder, there is another symptom, which we call avoidance and numbness symptoms, that is, the patient is very reluctant to contact with things or situations related to the traumatic experience, and tries to avoid them, and in severe cases, the so-called selective amnesia will appear. ”
"Selective amnesia?"
"Yes. Because the heart is too afraid of the experience of the traumatic event, or some other extreme negative emotion, resulting in a very serious urge in the patient's heart to avoid the memory of the trauma, to forget it, not to recall it, then our brain will respond accordingly at this time, to help the patient, 'covering' that memory, to ensure that the patient's body will not be in the extreme negative emotions for a long time, which is the body's self-protection mechanism at work. ”
After listening to Kwon Yun'er's explanation, Han Yu suddenly looked slightly stunned, but the doubts in his heart also dissipated in an instant, and even suddenly gave birth to a kind of enlightened thought.
What Kwon Yoon-a said...... In fact, it is quite similar to the childhood experience of the male protagonist Cha Daoxian in "Kill Me, Heal Me".
When he was a child, Cha Daoxian was mentally shocked after witnessing his father enter the basement and thought that he had beaten the girl in the basement to death, so he suffered from DID, and gave all the childhood memories he didn't want to recall to the deputy Shen Shiji, and he himself was like completely forgetting that memory.
The PTSD that Kwon Yun-ah said should be similar to this, and even DID may also be one of the sequelae of PTSD.
With such an explanation, Han Yu, who had quite a good understanding of the situation itself, naturally understood it in his heart.
However, there is still a problem with this.
Han Yu suddenly frowned, looked at Quan Yun'er with some confusion, and asked, "But...... Dr. Kwon, the memory I forgot is not just the memory I had when I was in the car accident, but all the memories I had before, this ...... Is it also a case of selective amnesia?"
"This ...... In fact, that's why I'm in such a hurry to inform Mr. Han about this tonight. ”
Hearing that Han Woo finally mentioned the focus of this conversation, Kwon Yoon-a's face, which had been calm because she had entered a professional state, resurfaced a little unspeakable complexity-
