"What do you mean? The root of the disease is not in the body? But in the mind? Are you saying that Hank's illness is fake?"
Li Mu's words were simply fantasy to most people in the room. Even Hua Mei and Nie Xiaoyu, who were skilled in medical skills, were confused and their responses were even more inaccurate.
"Well, of course I'm not pretending. What I mean is that Hank's illness is not a physical illness, nor is it right. It should be said that although there are physical symptoms, the root cause is actually a mental illness. Strictly speaking, it is hysteria. kind of."
Although Li Mu in his previous life had a poor academic level and had no special skills in hanging around in Internet cafes all day long, he had always been particularly interested in psychology, so he consulted and learned a lot of relevant knowledge under the influence of internal driving force, among which There is content about hysteria.
Although his understanding of psychology is only superficial, and Li Mu is not a serious expert, you must know that in today's fairy world, the concept of psychology has not been born at all, and people's understanding of diseases still remains entirely physiological. on top of reasons.
This has also resulted in many patients with mental illness or mental illness being treated as lunatics after being unable to recover for a long time. They may even be classified as evil entities. In even more extreme places, these patients will be directly tortured. Burning at the stake.
Reversing this situation cannot be achieved in a day. Even on earth, the research on psychotherapy and related diseases took hundreds of years to gradually form a system. Under the leadership of pioneers, it broke away from the shackles of philosophy. This will truly benefit countless patients like Hank who are trapped in their own inner depression.
"I kind of understand. You're saying that the root cause of his illness is some kind of persistent thought, or mental oppression. But even if he's in a bad mood, it won't cause such violent muscle twitching, right?"
Li Mu further explained the characteristics of hysteria. Nie Xiaoyu, who was ice-snow and smart, quickly understood everything. However, a group of people were still at a loss as to how mental illness could be transformed into physical symptoms.
After all, the idea that a bad mood can cause coma, paralysis or even death is too advanced and deviates from the scope of traditional medical knowledge.
Li Mu also doesn't have the ability to understand brain structure, nervous system transmission, and stress response.
We should wait for detailed and professional science popularization of new terms like fantasy, so in the end we can only explain the whole story of the strange disease one by one based on Hank's situation.
"Hank stays in the flower garden all year round to study flower planting techniques. This job is not easy, especially since he often needs to squat and bend his back to take care of flowers, which will cause harm to the human body over time."
"Maybe you didn't feel it when you were young, but as you get older, Hank has become more and more unable to do what he wants. The soreness and disobedience of his body have been tormenting him. Although he can recover after taking a rest every time, for Hank who wants to be strong, For me, this has become his biggest secret and heartache."
"In addition, there was a gap between Hank and Gina due to inheritance issues, and he didn't want his daughter, who he looked down upon, to discover the fact that he was old, so By putting it off again and again, treatment was not given in time.”
Following what Li Mu said, everyone in the room turned their attention to Gina. No one knew that there was still such a problem between the father and daughter.
"But Master and I have checked Hank's body. The muscles and bones are indeed aging, but they will not cause symptoms such as severe coma and convulsions. At most, they are just aches and pains. He should be fine after taking some medicine. Why did it become like this?"
"Xiaoyu is right, and his attacks are completely irregular. He just feels like he has an attack whenever he wants. According to you, he has the current symptoms because of the word "mental illness". So is this phenomenon really traceless? "
Entering the academic discussion of the cause of the disease, Hua Mei and Nie Xiaoyu both became serious. This was related to a living life, and no degree of rigor was excessive, so their questions became more and more tricky.
"Generally, there are two situations that may cause hysteria. One is the stress response, which is the various instinctive reactions that people will show in a state of crisis.
Responses include lethargy, running around, yelling, emotional outbursts, etc. Another type is purposeful physiological escape, in which the human body escapes from certain environments and tasks through the onset of hysteria. "
"I think Hank's situation is more consistent with the second possibility. Although he is extremely eager to successfully cultivate Kao, the pain constantly stimulates his body. When he gets no response, his body actively chooses hysteria. Come
To escape this critical situation, the symptoms transformed into intermittent violent convulsions. "
Li Mu reorganized the long-standing memories in his mind, combined with Hank's condition, described it in the most vernacular language, and finally got the approval of Hua Mei and Nie Xiaoyu.
"However, hysteria often has an inducement. This inducement may be a sound, a picture, or a smell."
Seeing that everyone's thoughts were finally on the right track, Li Mu continued to analyze the cause of this strange disease. Hysteria, as the most sporadic type of mental illness, is not as invisible as Hua Mei said, whether it is stress. Both reaction and the instinct to escape from a difficult situation require a "trigger", which is the so-called inducement.
And Hank is no exception, except that is that this inducement is extremely good at hiding, evading everyone's attention, and stimulating the strain of Hank's body again and again. This led to convulsions and coma.
"Brother Li, stop being so secretive and tell us quickly. I'm almost dying of anxiety."
Seeing Li Mu gasping for breath at the most critical moment, Bai Yuan couldn't help but say "urge". As ordinary people who had no experience in medical skills, their curiosity had completely captured them, and they wanted to know the whole story immediately. .
"It's the floral fragrance that fills every corner of the mansion. This special fragrance comes from the King of Flowers, and Hank has spent almost all his time cultivating it in the past few years. On the contrary, the pain in the body has Mostly because of Kao’s existence.”
"Imagine that in Hank's subconscious, whenever he gets close to Kao and leans over to smell this fragrance, it represents lingering pain. Over time, this seemingly unrelated physical symptom turns into a psychological symptom. The disease then develops into hysteria, and finally backfires on the body.”
"This is all the fact that Hank is suffering from a strange disease. I think Doctor Hua must have already figured out a solution by this point, right?"
Li Mu looked at the old man with his eyes tightly closed on the bed, feeling a burst of emotion and sigh in his heart. He did not expect that this legendary gardener who had spent his whole life with flowers would eventually be threatened with death because of the flower king he cultivated, if he had not traveled from the earth. As he comes, I am afraid that this time Old Hank will really have to witness the flowering of Kao in another world.
