Plague Doctor

“How's it going? ”

As soon as the videos in the conference room were connected, Grandpa Tong could not wait to ask, he was now on the Ross side doing some GOA collaborative work.

The meeting was attended by senior members of NASA, and after two years of change, a group of old people had been replaced and a number of meritorious recruits had taken office.

“Not good.” Professor Ma and Dr. Shen brought bad news and said after some test results, Professor Ma added: "Considering Arjun has no psychological trauma, it is an abnormal function caused by brain damage, and this symptom of persistent avoidance of PTSD occurs. ”

And to conclude, it's like something bad is happening, and this is what happens, and the air in the conference room just condenses.

“Why did you hurt your forehead..." Grandpa Tong's face turned red, Yao Shinian sighed long, while others were also heavy and sad.

Nobody likes this diagnosis, which is arguably the worst result.

Best case scenario is mental erosion or other abnormal force, which instead provides an opportunity to solve the abnormal problem.

Second, Gu Jun really has PTSD caused by trauma.

That is psychological change that leads to physiological change, which exacerbates psychological problems. The treatment line is clear: medication to relieve physiological symptoms and improve psychiatric symptoms, psychological treatment to solve the patient's trauma, and even the use of Deng Xie Mai's "psychiatric barrier technology” to bypass the trauma. So that you can heal your mind, and your brain function will slowly improve and you can heal.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. Existing medicine is not really a good treatment for PTSD. There are no drugs that can satisfy all of its symptom groups. Currently, most people use antianxiety drugs and antidepressants, which are symptomatic treatments.

So the cure rate and the quality of treatment are low, and at least 13 of PTSD patients are life-long and can only live in pain; more than half of them are often accompanied by various mental disorders. Suicide rates are six times higher in PTSD patients than in the general population.

But there is at least a cure, hope of healing.

Now Gu Jun is the worst case scenario. He is not a psychological trauma problem, he is a brain injury problem.

This problem is precisely the least curable, how do you recover a brain suffering from irreversible brain damage? That's not what human medicine can do right now. That is why medicine defines such brain damage as “irreversibility”.

“Any thoughts on medication?” Yao Shinian asked reluctantly.

“Existing drugs are difficult to treat his condition, but you can try them.” Professor Ma was helpless, too.

PTSD has always been a world problem and a challenge for NASA.

Four core PTSD symptom groups: invasive symptom groups, persistent evasion, negative cognitive and mental changes, and increased alertness.

Pharmaceutical treatment is designed to alleviate and ameliorate these symptoms so that they do not interfere with psychotherapy and so that patients are able to maintain their daily lives as much as possible.

Gu Jun doesn't have many symptoms. He doesn't need to take anti-anxiety medications. At most, he should take anti-depressants such as norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Try to reduce symptoms avoidance and improve neuroendocrine. Instead of irreversible brain damage, it can only be slowly conditioned to see if it can recover itself.

“Patients need to rest for a period of time before recovering their brain to moderate irritation and slowly increasing the dose. We regularly examine him to observe changes in his brain morphology and try trauma exposure therapy if it improves. There must be no rush to treat him, the treatment should be set for more than a year and be prepared...”

Professor Ma is reluctant to say this, but it is his responsibility to sit here, "The patient may not recover, the symptoms will develop chronically and only control the conditioning for life. In the short term, patients are no longer suitable for abnormal exposure and should avoid exposure to relevant information in their lives. ”

Listening to these diagnostic remarks, Grandpa and Grandpa have a heavier face, but they all know that Professor Ma is not alarming.

Arjun almost bled out after looking at a few pictures of abnormal things today, what else could he do...

“We are also worried," Professor Ma added, "that this could really traumatize him and lead to more PTSD symptoms. ”

“I talked to Arjun.” Dr. Shen's voice was low, "he did not seem traumatized in the case of Isolated Scale, but rather opened up a lot to a lot of things. But today's test upset him, and I can see that if he could only get semi-detached like this, it would most likely be his traumatic experience. ”

The silence of the people on the conference screen was a major shock to anyone.

Gu Jun is only 22 years old. This is a time of great future. This is a time when people like him are needed. He also has his own pursuits.

Now after everything, even though he escaped from the dead, he lost his talent and became a "cripple"...

Nine of the 27 heteroscale deaths were suicides after surgery, and most of them, like Xie Yiman, had a bright career and a bright future, all of which had collapsed. By PTSD, suicide was acute stress behavior in those nine patients, while many others had associated disorders.

Now Gu Jun is only in possession of continuity to avoid this item, but will it last this long?

Changes in brain structure and function will in turn affect the psychosocial spirit. If Gu Jun's condition worsens, based on biological and research data, his personality will almost certainly change negatively. People with low S values due to PTSD typically have this negative change.

By that time, maybe they'd really lost that astronomical hero forever.

“We have to do a job.” At this time, the old director said, "the next time a crisis occurs, someone like Gu Jun will be able to come forward. ”

Gu Jun can only take a long vacation, but abnormal events can never happen again. Big and small, there will always be a next time.

We'll have to count on Gu Jun's abilities, trigger the illusion to find clues, etc. as we have done in the past few major events... that's not going to work.

In fact, Gu Jun's alarm bell was ringing as early as the beginning of the coma. It was two years ago that Gu Jun made the Bureau's work easier, but this should not be a regular state, and it can no longer be relied upon. So for some time now, they have increased their talent mining and development efforts, with the goal of having 100 Gu Jun and 1,000 Gu Jun.

“I applied again for Wang Ruoxiang to be released back to our spell department.” Grandpa Tong groaned at everyone, "and used Deng Xiaomai again. Both are good seedlings. Wu Shiyu let it go, she has talent but not that pursuit. Tianjin University has expanded the range of admissions and made some good seedlings... As for Arjun..."

Grandpa Tong sighed a long time. “You can earn money if this kid gets hurt like that... I'll go back and tell him about the vacation, this kid..."

Everyone pondered, and now it has to be for the time being.
