Chapter 367, self-examination

A plan can succeed and can easily succeed, but it is only one step away from success and then abruptly terminated, there are only two possibilities.

Either the promoter spontaneously terminates the plan, or someone forcibly terminates the plan.

Brooklyn didn't believe Robert Gordon could resist such a big temptation.

Then someone forcibly terminated the plan!

Combined with the previous attitude of the [Patriots] towards him, Brooklyn suspected that there were people he knew well with who were members of the [Patriots].

He kept this conclusion to the bottom of his heart and did not make any public announcements.

Actually, for Brooklyn, it's not a big deal. He can investigate slowly, and he can always catch this 'familiar well-wisher'.

After all, from the point of view of reasoning, this is a person who can cancel customer 'orders' on his own, and obviously, his status within [Patriot] is not low.

Even Pence Norton and Ovis's eucalyptus weren't big of a problem for Brooklyn.

The big problem he faces right now is his brain!

After tonight's absurd and embarrassing 'show' under the old apartment, Brooklyn could no longer deceive himself and ignore his anomaly.

Previously, he could explain it in terms of PTSD, which could be explained by being too tired or not yet adjusting to a body with one lobe in his lungs.

Now, he finally can't explain it with these excuses.

He had to face up to one thing.

He's mentally out of order!

From the moment he woke up after being shot, he had mental problems.

Until now, it has become more and more serious.

For some unknown reason, after being shot, Brooklyn accepted all of his memories.

After discovering that she had accepted these memories, Brooklyn realized that they might have an impact on her.

He has a knowledge of psychology and has received a part of a professional and systematic education.

Human memory is actually a record of past experiences, and past experiences will subtly shape a person's character.

Suddenly increasing all the memories of the past will inevitably have an impact on the personality.

Therefore, Brooklyn did not rush to look through the memories when he realized that he had a large number of memories, but only retrieved them when he needed them.

Although he was already careful, the effects were still subtle.

Now, Brooklyn must handle this memory carefully.

He didn't want this memory to completely overwrite him and turn himself into the Brooklyn Lee of his memory. I don't want to be a schizophrenic.

The PTSD that Ray suffered from was actually a type of schizophrenia.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a reaction to excessive alertness and fantasies about a traumatic event, frequent flashbacks to the traumatic event, and frequent premonitions of re-experiencing the traumatic event.

Most of these mental illnesses tend to be accompanied by symptoms of a manic episode.

It was the frequent inability to concentrate and mania that made Brooklyn aware of the problem.

Brooklyn examines his condition.

He's a bit of a schizotypal personality disorder now.

There are actually many branches of the schizophrenia spectrum: caste depression or bipolar disorder with psychotic or catatonic features, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia-like disorder with transient psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and somatoform disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and so on.

They both belong to the schizophrenia spectrum, and they have the same commonalities as they want, but they have subtle differences.

In addition, schizophrenia does not occur alone, and it is often accompanied by other mental illnesses, such as substance-related disorders, the most common comorbidities.

One of the most common comorbidities of schizophrenia is anxiety.

Brooklyn doesn't know if he's an anxiety disorder or if it's just normal human anxiety.

He is not optimistic about the future of Mr. President, and therefore the future of the federal political ecology, and he is anxious about the city of New York, the future of himself, the people around him, and the future of his allies.

He was also not optimistic about the future of Harvard Law School, and he was anxious.

There were so many things he was anxious about.

But this seems to be human nature.

Ordinary people can also be anxious. From whether the plan can be accepted by the customer, to the future of family, work and even children.

Is this an anxiety disorder?

Brooklyn retracted her thoughts and cautiously made her own diagnosis.

He was only educated and not qualified to practice medicine, but this was a diagnosis for himself.

Schizophrenia is often characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, overtly disorganized or catatonic behavior, and other negative symptoms such as decreased emotional expression and decreased willpower.

It was clearly written in the book, and he remembered it very well.

If two or more of the above five categories of symptoms are present for a fairly significant period of time within a month. At least two of these must include delusions or hallucinations or one of the language disturbances.

The first is delusion.

Brooklyn examines every tiny performance since the shooting, making sure that there are no delusions.

He never had delusions at any point.

Then there are hallucinations.

Brooklyn immediately thought of the dream that inspired memories.

Angel House Welfare Home, Fat Woman, Washroom.

It was a dream he had the night before he and Anne had made an appointment to visit the orphanage.

Is that hallucination?

Brooklyn felt like it didn't belong.

It only appears once, and besides, most importantly, it is not fake, but real.

Next is speech disorder.

Brooklyn thought about how he behaved in the office after seeing Chandler Kane's indictment, and how he behaved downstairs in his old apartment tonight.

Speech disorder does not mean that the words spoken are inverted into sentences, such as frequent derailment of thinking and lax associations, which is also considered speech disorder.

Brooklyn feels like she has that to characterize her.

Until now, he even wondered if he was being manipulated by some mysterious spell downstairs in the old apartment, otherwise how could he be so embarrassed.

There were signs of speech disorder in the person himself, which made Brooklyn's face a little ugly.

He took a deep breath, tried to compose himself, and continued to diagnose himself.

Manifestly disordered or catatonic behavior.

Brooklyn immediately thought of the performance downstairs of the old apartment.

At the same time, an explanation immediately appeared in his heart - it was because he cared about David's safety, so he lost ground and messed up.

For a moment, Brooklyn breathed a sigh of relief, convinced by the statement.

But he quickly put the thought down.

He knew that this was an excuse he had come up with because he was subconsciously unwilling to admit that he was moving closer to the disease.

Now that I think about it, he totally has a better solution.

The performance back then was nothing short of a disaster!

Two out of four.

Brooklyn didn't want to go on with self-diagnosis.

The good news is that his characterization is still minor, not serious.

The bad news is that Brooklyn needs to take matters into its own hands.

He can't ask for help, he can't let others know, he can't go to a psychiatrist!

Even if there is doctor-patient relationship protection, even if the psychologist can really resist the pressure, once the matter of his visit to a psychiatrist is exposed, he does not need to know why, which will cause huge variables.

Brenner, on Pence Norton's side, will certainly not hesitate to take advantage of this to attack himself.

A judge who needs to see a psychiatrist, can he really take on the responsibilities of a judge and continue to work?

It is enough to guide public opinion, invite a few experts in this field to go on TV to explain to everyone a few mental illnesses that seem inconspicuous but are actually very terrifying, and then exaggerate the harm of mental illness and arouse people's fear of mental illness.

The public will not trust a judge with mental illness.

The people don't trust, no matter how good he is, it's 'unqualified'.

This will be followed by an investigation by the Judicial Conduct Commission, followed by accountability and finally dismissal.

Everybody will say to him with concern, 'You're sick, you need to see a doctor,' 'You need to rest, Brooklyn.'"

All of them!

Even his allies, Frank and Winston, are skeptical of Brooklyn's decisions when they need to make them.

When things go wrong, they wonder: Could it be because of Brooklyn's mental illness that he made the wrong choice? Is it really good to listen to the command of the psychopath?

No matter what he says, people will subconsciously remember that he has a mental illness and then doubt what he said and did.

That's mental illness!

Maybe he was mentally ill by doing so!

Brooklyn would never allow such a thing to happen!

The treatment of schizophrenia is somewhat complex, or rather, all psychiatric disorders are complicated to treat.

The most common and most progressive regimen is pharmacotherapy.

However, this does not apply to Brooklyn.

Once Brooklyn takes the drug, it is almost equivalent to telling the world that he has schizophrenia.

In addition to medication, it is psychological and social intervention, which is the work of a psychologist.

Psychological and social interventions include behavioural therapy, family interventions, and community services.

Family intervention versus community services were excluded from Brooklyn.

He opted for behavioral therapy.

Behavioral therapy is actually social skills training, which is based on learning theories and uses various methods to train patients in various skills, such as correct decision-making and problem solving, how to deal with interpersonal relationships, correct response to stress and bad emotions, etc.

Although studies have shown that this type of training is not effective in reducing psychopathological symptoms, it can mask the signs of psychiatric disorders and make patients look like normal people.

Other treatments may be needed in other patients, but not in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn thinks she can adjust. He's already good at dealing with these things, and now he just needs to think about it again before making a decision. It's not that difficult.

He believed that his symptoms were only temporary, that the effects of a sudden increase in memory would dissipate.

On the other hand, even though Brooklyn maintains rational impartiality and objectivity throughout the process of self-diagnosis, as if a psychiatrist is diagnosing his own patients, deep down he still has doubts about his diagnosis.

He doesn't consider himself schizophrenic.

He was just cautious, taking into account the worst and preparing for the worst.

………………

Following.

Although the helicopter that attempted to broadcast the old apartment building live was called back, and although the hospital's reporters were chased away from Brooklyn, the news of David's suspected injury made the front pages of major newspapers.

A leader of the NYPD's murderous team was injured and made it to the front page of major newspapers in New York.

That's a weird thing in itself.

Brooklyn knew in his heart that this was Pence Norton and Keller, two media tycoons, using David's affair to divert attention and suppress the news that Ovis's court had been accepted.

They are already preparing to cool down the news of Orvis!

Faced with this situation, Brooklyn naturally won't let Pence Norton get his wish.

Under the tandem of Winston, on the morning of the same day, A began to report on Orvis eucalyptus.

They turned over the video of Pence Norton and his son being summoned by the court to participate in the hearing twice, and compared and analyzed them frame by frame.

They even set up a hotline to solicit clues from viewers and make reports.

The war of public opinion has started again.

The discussion about Orvis is boiling again.

While the outside world was disturbed, Brooklyn slept in the office.

Brooklyn didn't get a good rest because he was too late in the hospital yesterday, and when he came to the courthouse today, he first went to another judge, Judge Alan Hope, and asked him to help him through the morning.

Alan Hope happily agreed.

After returning, Brooklyn saw that Ray was busy with Peter, and inevitably complained in his heart.

It's also all staying up late, why is Lei so energetic, but he yawns?

You know, he slept lazily this morning, while Ray had a normal schedule and got up early to exercise.

He slept less than him, and he had more energy than him.

Brooklyn was hit. He secretly decided in his heart that when May passed and the dust settled on Pence Norton, he would start exercising with Ray.

Then Brooklyn thought about the Harvard mess and pushed back the clock.

Covered with his robes, Brooklyn lay down on the couch, and soon a slight snoring sounded.

There was silence in a busy office.

At noon, Brooklyn was woken up.

After finally getting some sleep, Brooklyn got up and went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch, and when he returned, he saw that the table was full of all kinds of papers.

Before he could utter a sigh, Nelly walked up to him with a folder.

Brooklyn squeezed out a pleading look at Nelly.

Nelly smiled back, then opened the folder.

"The plan you asked me to summarize to simplify the process and improve office efficiency has been made."

Nelly didn't give the plan to Brooklyn, but read it straight away

"The first is the financial system."

"Although this part has been incorporated into the server, and the application and approval only need to be carried out on the intranet, it is still too complicated. I went through the process and came up with two ways to improve it. ”

"One is to directly omit the process of individual approvals, and instead summarize them at the end of the month or weekend for a unified review."

"The proposer is the first to submit the application, and the grant is directly approved, and the problem is solved first, and then the review is carried out. If a vulnerability is found, a focused review will be conducted. ”

"In case of problems, we can set a limit where the amount of applications cannot exceed the upper limit within a fixed period of time, and if the limit is exceeded, an alert will be issued, all applications from applicants will be intercepted, and they will be sent to your mailbox......"
