Medical road ahead

"Doctor Joe."

"Director Qin Qin."

When Qiao Tan came to the meeting room, he saw Qin Xiao beckoning to him, and pointed to the seat beside him, motioning for her to sit there.

Qiao Tan looked around nervously, and found that the colleagues around him didn't notice the ambiguous communication between the two, so he pretended to be calm and said to Gou Youli beside him: "Brother, let's sit next to Director Qin, it's closer I can hear you better."

"Ok."

Gou Youli didn't doubt that there was him, and readily agreed.

"Doctor Gou."

"Director Qin."

After Qin Xiao nodded to Gou Youli, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qiao Tan to sit down.

"cough!"

Qiao Tan took his seat cautiously, then took a quick glance at Gou Lili, and was slightly relieved when he saw that he spread out his notebook with his normal expression, as if he didn't pay attention to the other two's small movements.

Afterwards, she turned her head to look at Qin Xiao, lowered her voice and said, "Be careful in public places."

"Shy?"

Qin Xiao asked with a smile, and immediately reached out from under the table to hold Qiao Tan's hand.

"Hey!"

This time, Qiao Tan became even more flustered, and hurriedly grabbed his hand, but Qin Xiao held it tighter.

"What are you afraid of? Who would glance under the table?"

Qin Xiao laughed narrowly, playing with Qiao Tan's hand back and forth, making her blush, and kept observing the movement around her, for fear that anyone would notice their public intimacy.

"Director Qin, have you ever encountered a case of adjustment disorder before?"

Suddenly, Gou Youli, who had been silent for a long time, turned around and looked over Qiao Tan to Qin Xiao. Qiao Tan was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, but he didn't want to. Qin Xiao was still there, gently pinching her palm, and slowly replied: "This is the first time I have encountered this kind of case. I only saw it on the Internet before. After all, although this disease is common, it has basically not attracted everyone's attention, unless it has evolved into severe depression, or it appears in adolescents and children. Only on the body will the parents be vigilant."

"Well, Director Qin is right."

Gou Lili nodded in agreement, as if he really didn't notice the abnormal behavior of the two of them, and continued to talk with Qin Xiao about the problem of adjustment disorder, "Most people think that adjustment disorder is just emotional, especially for adults, Some people even accuse adults suffering from this disease of being hypocritical, and cannot understand their pain and helplessness at all. However, as you said, if children suffer from this disease unfortunately, most of them will be noticed by their parents and get timely treatment. better than in adult patients."

"Do juveniles and adults have different symptoms after suffering from adjustment disorder?" Qiao Tan asked curiously.

"Correct!"

Qin Xiao nodded and explained: "Although the common symptoms of this disease are mostly manifested in emotions, such as anxiety and depression, compared with children, adults can control their words and deeds, and they are more inclined to self-torture after getting sick. For example, social refusal, autism, anorexia, self-harm and other behaviors in severe cases, and rarely violence against others; but minors are just the opposite, they will not only hurt themselves, but also commit acts of aggression against others. Such as truancy, stealing, lying, fighting, drinking and smoking, vandalizing public facilities, etc. Therefore, once minors have serious adjustment disorders, the adults around them will usually find out quickly.”

"There is another situation for children, whose symptoms of adaptation disorder generally manifest as behavioral degradation, such as bed-wetting, thumb-sucking, and reduced language ability. This situation will also arouse the parents' tension and attention, so that the situation can be cured before it becomes more serious." Gou Lili added.

"That's right. It seems that Dr. Gou knows more about this disease than I do."

Qin Xiao nodded and smiled admiringly at Gou Youli.

"It's not because I have been in contact with it, but I didn't realize at the time that the child was suffering from an adjustment disorder, and I only realized it later." Gou Youli said with a frown.

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?"

Hearing this, Qin Xiao immediately became interested, turned sideways to face Gou Youli, and waited eagerly for his next words.

Qiao Tan also looked at him curiously.

"The child is the son of my wife's friend. He is about seven or eight years old. He used to be very lively and obedient, but after the second grade of elementary school, he gradually became introverted. At first, they thought it was a child. As I grow older, my personality becomes more stable, but one day I received a call from the class teacher, saying that the child often skipped school. My wife's friend and her husband realized that their child was not normal, so they let go Go to work, and find the children to talk about." Gou Youli recalled.

"Could it be because of the change in the environment that happened to You Sheng Xiao, which made him unsuitable to the people around him, which led to his illness?" Qiao Tan guessed.

"It's almost for this reason. The couple of them think so, so they reduce their respective jobs and spend more time with their children. However, his symptoms are still repeated. He always likes to stay at home and doesn't want to go to school. She didn't want to go out, and even locked herself in the bedroom for most of the day, so scared that the couple had to take the child to see a psychiatrist." Gou Youli nodded and said.

"I think the psychiatrist's diagnosis is mostly that the child is overly dependent on his parents, which will cause adjustment disorders. Instead, he will suggest that his parents encourage him to integrate into the new environment, get in touch with other children, and adapt to new changes. .” Qin Xiao speculated.

"That's right! My wife said that's how the psychiatrist diagnosed the child."

Gou Youli nodded hurriedly, and asked again: "How did Director Qin guess it? Haven't you never been in contact with this kind of clinical case?"

Qin Xiao touched his nose and said: "But I have been in contact with children, especially you mentioned that the child started to have this symptom after the second grade, so I guessed that the child's parents must be He took good care of him. He should have never left the company of his parents. But when he entered elementary school, he spent most of his time in school. Unlike kindergarten, he could be picked up by his parents at any time. Therefore, when he was in the first grade of elementary school , his problems gradually appeared, until the second grade, it broke out completely."

"Actually, it's not just children. Many adults also experience discomfort after changing their environment." He continued.

"Ah."

Gou Youli nodded, and continued: "Especially for adults who go abroad to work or study, when they come to a foreign country from a familiar place, language, living habits, diet, and even climate, etc., will all cause adaptation barriers. Symptoms vary in severity from patient to patient, but are usually not taken seriously until they escalate into severe depression."

"It's all here!"

At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened again, and Dean Chen walked in with Liu Yaxiu, who was the vice dean.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao immediately let go of Qiao Tan's hand, turned around and sat upright; Qiao Tan rubbed Qin Xiao's hot hand, and then opened the notebook.

The meeting room instantly became quiet, and all the doctors present looked intently at Dean Chen on the rostrum, ready to meet new consultation challenges...
