Chapter 20: Multiple Personalities
Jiang's mother also stopped Jiang He: "Don't scare you Brother Dayu, science is advancing, we will always find a good solution." ”
Getting married and having children feels very far away for me, and I am still worried that I may not be able to escape the fate of being treated at the moment. Maybe my tepid attitude made Jiang He unhappy, she kept glancing at me, so I teased her: "You won't have already ligated yourself, right?" ”
My words made Jiang's mother very nervous, and she kept asking, but she could only deny it again and again, and gave me a slap in the face when she said it.
That's when Dr. Meng came in. She greeted us one by one with a smile, and her eyes didn't change when she saw me, but she had been fooling me in Xiamen for months.
She held a clip in her hand, sat down and took out part of the information inside and put it in front of Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng said, "You can tell everyone about the specific diagnosis." ”
"Okay." Dr. Meng looked down at the document, her eyes were a little dark, and the sad eyes under her long eyebrows still looked like she had been thrown eight hundred times: "After I arrived in Xiamen, I collected Mr. Lou's saliva and made a full genome sequence report, which took more than a month before and after, and according to the report analysis and my observation for more than a month, I reported the diagnosis to Mr. Lou's father. Mr. Lou did have a serious mental problem, which was not obvious before, and became explicit during his father's illness and hospitalization, which is my detailed analysis and report. Dr. Meng said, taking out something and handing it to me.
I flipped through two pages and put them on the coffee table and said, "I won't understand it for a while, so let's just say it." ”
Knowing that she would explain in detail, I was not in the mood to pretend to attach importance to something that I was doing without me. But an ominous association slowly rose in my heart, and I suddenly realized that the report should have come out shortly before my father's death.
"Now you can do a whole genome sequence report casually? I remember that it was very expensive to do this back then, and the market price of a report was nearly 90 million yuan. Jiang He interjected.
"Now you don't need it, you can make it for fifty or sixty thousand, the development of technology is very fast, if you only test individual projects, a few hundred yuan is enough." Jiang Feng said, and then motioned for Dr. Meng to continue.
"Our diagnosis is dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder." Dr. Meng said.
No one answered for a while, and the name seemed familiar, but I really didn't know what the difference was between schizophrenia and schizophrenia.
To put it simply, a person appears in different personalities at different times, and each personality seems to be a completely different person, with its own name, memories, traits and ways of behaving. Usually the original subject personality is not aware of the existence of other personalities, so they are generally ignorant of their own condition. Dr. Meng then explained.
I had already prepared for the worst, schizophrenia, depression, delusions, etc., but I didn't think about any multiple personalities. I watched a movie about multiple personalities when I was in college, and the protagonist was a man and a woman, and the reason why he was sick was either sexually assaulted or framed, so all identities killed people without blinking, but at least this disease does not short-circuit the brain, and it seems to be better than the situation I expected.
I immediately thought of the little monster who was bent on stealing my name, but she was just a character in my dreams, we communicated with each other in my dreams, she was just my imagination, and she didn't dominate my body.
Jiang's mother was a little anxious: "Don't you usually notice anything abnormal in the heavy rain?" Especially after your father was hospitalized, for example, time was lost, memory was blank, there were more things missing, and things that he couldn't explain clearly? ”
"I told Xiaohe yesterday that my dad found the doctor because I found a fragment of my memory, maybe it's the sick guy I just said."
"Are you saying everything that needs to be said, maybe it will help with the treatment?" Jiang He grabbed my hand, but it was quite calm.
Jiang Feng said quietly: "It's best to say everything related to the condition, so as not to cause regret." ”
So I told me about taking Ritalin and seeing that little monster at night.
"Gave you something concrete?" Dr. Meng asked.
"Yes, a bank card and the password for the card, which my father was going to give me." I squeezed Jiang He's hand and didn't tell the truth.
"Is it possible that there is a specific communication between the two personalities?" Jiang's mother asked Dr. Meng.
"In most cases, personalities are not aware of each other, but they are not absolute, and sometimes there is communication between personalities, which is called coexistence consciousness. The secondary personality sometimes knows the subject personality very well, treats the other person as another person, and the two personalities will communicate with each other when they switch frequently, and even cooperate to do some things. In some extreme cases, although the personalities do not know each other, the daily suspicious clues can make them suspect that someone is intervening in their lives, so they will search for each other. ”
"I often dream of that girl in my dreams and talk to her." I say.
"Multiple personalities use the body in turns, and even if they know each other, they are independent people, and it is possible to dream about each other, but if there is a clear phenomenon of communication in dreams, it is more like a symptom of schizophrenia." Dr. Meng said.
I found out that this bitch has a perverted penchant, and whoever wants to question her diagnosis will add another illness to you.
"You made the diagnosis? I remember that your major was not in this area. Jiang He asked Dr. Meng.
"It's done collectively, we have a diagnosis and treatment team." Dr. Meng turned to Jiang He.
"Your treatment plan is supposed to be to eliminate his other personalities, right?" Jiang He asked.
Dr. Meng did not answer.
"Can today's technology really do it? Can you make sure that the treatment will not harm his intelligence? Jiang He asked.
Doctor Meng still didn't answer, she glanced at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng didn't answer immediately, and it was a little embarrassing to be silent when he talked about the sequelae.
Jiang Feng finally spoke under Jiang He's cold gaze: "Our treatment is actually divided into two items, the first is the problem of systematic self-consistency of genes, that is, the problem of solving the problem of increasing the number of genes I just said, this technology is quite mature, Xiaohe has experienced this part of the treatment; The second item can only start after the first item is completed, that is, the treatment of multiple personality, we all know that in the traditional treatment method, there is no cure for schizophrenia or multiple personality, but in my eyes, all these are genetic problems, which can be solved by targeted therapy, and the biggest problem with his treatment plan is that the personality left behind cannot be guaranteed to be heavy rain. ”
"Why?!" Jiang's mother, Jiang He, and I screamed almost at the same time.
Dr. Meng took it and said: "Because in the final stage of treatment, which personality is currently in existence, which one is retained, it is like closing the airtight valve in the leaky cabin, whoever escapes will be alive, and there is no time to wait at the critical moment." As I said earlier, the secondary personality has a considerable understanding of the subjective personality, and at the moment of life and death, the subjective personality that we have confirmed is afraid of being impersonated. ”
Jiang Heteng stood up: "What kind of treatment are you, this is clearly murder!" If it is another person, it is better to be like this, why take such a big risk! ”
"The problem is stuck here, your father Lou was also worried about this at the beginning, and he couldn't make up his mind to treat it." Jiang Feng smiled bitterly.
"It's gone!" Jiang He picked up the diagnostic materials on the coffee table and wanted to fall to the ground, but was stopped by Jiang's mother, who said, "Listen to Dayu's opinion first." ”
I looked at Jiang's mother and Jiang He, and said lightly, "Cure it." ”
Jiang's mother and Jiang He said in unison: "Why?!" ”
"My dad knew the diagnosis when he was alive, and he didn't refuse treatment until he died, so there must be a reason to treat it." I became more and more suspicious that my father's heart attack was more or less related to my illness, and how much psychological pressure it was to decide the survival of my son, and his sick body could not bear this kind of suffering.
Jiang He's mother and daughter looked at Jiang Feng together, and I picked up my tea and drank it slowly.
Jiang Feng looked at me for a while before he said: "If you don't treat it, the immune system will be self-consistent sooner or later, modern medicine underestimates the degree of control of subjective mental power over the body, his multiple personality is not in the ordinary sense, but closely related to genetic problems, if the first treatment is completed for safety and does not carry out the second item, the first treatment will not make much sense, and the consequences will be the same as Xiaohe's back then." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and there was no need to guess that Jiang He might be a dead end if he didn't treat it back then.
Dr. Meng said: "At present, the biggest problem is how to confirm the identity in the final stage of treatment, Mr. Lou has discussed a variety of options before his death, and the most reasonable way is of course to judge by the person closest and most familiar with you, so the initial plan is to decide to be confirmed by Mr. Lou, and Mrs. Lou will be used as a backup at that time, and then notify Mrs. Lou to come forward when Mr. Lou is unable to confirm." Unexpectedly, when Mr. Lou was considering a safe plan for his family's trip to Shanghai, an accident happened. ”
Jiang Feng took it and said, "Actually, I agree with your father, your mother is not suitable to participate in the treatment, and this kind of multiple personality identification is not suitable for mothers. We have also considered other options, but after investigation, we found that your social circle is very narrow, you currently have no intimate lovers, and we can't even check your love records, so such an important thing can't be handed over to your classmates and friends to do, right? We also considered your relatives after your father's death, but you didn't return to Xiamen until you were a teenager and didn't have close contact with them. ”
I nodded: "I have a good relationship with my second uncle, but I don't usually have much contact." ”
Jiang Feng continued: "Your mother Jiang and I have watched you grow up since childhood, and we have a lot of contact, but at this time, we don't have much spectrum in our hearts to take on this responsibility. ”
Everyone's eyes naturally turned to Jiang He, and Jiang He also looked at everyone expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to continue: "Yesterday Xiaohe said that I was not entirely right to fish her back, we have been trying to find a way during that time, you are like brothers and sisters, and you really can't find a better candidate." ”
Jiang He looked at Jiang Feng: "What if I don't want to?" ”
