Chapter 43 Reversal of Judgment: Dissociative Conversion Disorder

"Mu Mian, not everyone can easily tamper with the results of psychological tests like you do," Fang Rui interrupted Mu Mian, "and you don't pretend well, Consultant Lin saw through it at a glance."

Mu Mian lowered her head guiltily.

Although she could pass the psychological expert's scale assessment every time, she would be exposed once it came to the behavioral assessment stage.

So there was a time when she believed in the existence of mind reading. Because every time those psychological experts looked at her, they could expose her disguise.

It turned out that the truth was that she didn't pretend well enough!

Lu Tian confessed: "Nieyan, I am indeed seeing a psychiatrist. I have bipolar disorder, will this affect the outcome of the trial?"

Nieyan asked: "Who is your psychiatrist? We can go consult her."

"Her name is Shen Xiyin, she is a very good psychiatrist. Since I have been treated by her, my emotional problems have been under control. She should be able to help me testify in court."

"She is my sister." Mu Mian said proudly, "She is a very good psychotherapist, she can definitely help you."

Fang Rui reminded them, "The problem now is that Wang Li may have bribed those experts to give false appraisal results."

Mu Mian retorted, "But forgery is illegal! Will those experts also break the law?"

They didn't say anything, and no one gave Mu Mian an answer.

The second court session soon arrived. Xiao Zhang was out on a field trip, and Chen Xue was afraid that the result would be bad and refused to come, so this time Fang Rui and Mu Mian went to listen alone.

A psychiatrist and two psychiatrists from the Judicial Appraisal Center evaluated Lu Tian's mental state. The six people came to a unified appraisal result and gave a detailed analysis:

Lu Tian suffers from dissociative conversion disorder (also called hysteria, commonly known as split personality).

The patient cannot recall important things in the past - she forgot the experience of being molested as a child and the experience of falsely accusing her ex-boyfriend of raping her.

Delusion - she has repeatedly told her parents that someone raped and molested her.

Recent memory loss - she often intermittently forgets that she and Lin Qianjie are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, which leads to Lu Tian suddenly attacking Lin Qianjie during their relationship, which is the content in the video.

Symptoms such as sudden aimless wandering and body stiffness were observed during the diagnosis process.

Nie Yan looked at the report and found it very ridiculous. The basis for these experts' diagnosis was actually the words of Lu Tian's parents. Even she, a layman, could see how unprofessional this diagnosis report was.

Nie Yan also invited their expert witness.

"Witness, what is your identity?" asked the chief judge.

"I am Lu Tian's psychiatrist, Shen Xinyin." Shen Xinyin said.

Nie Yan asked, "Doctor Shen, do you agree with this psychiatric evaluation report?"

"No. Lu Tian does not have dissociative conversion disorder, her personality is very stable, and she does not have any memory problems." Shen Xinyin said, "Her real problem is bipolar disorder, commonly known as manic depression. This is an emotional problem, and it does not have a big impact on our memory ability."

Wang Li asked, "Doctor Shen, are you questioning the diagnosis of these experts?"

"Mental and psychological problems are not like other physical diseases that have clear pathological basis. They are usually implicit and require long-term follow-up observation to reach an accurate conclusion.

The appraisal results emphasized that Ms. Lu had memory problems, so some memory tests should be done to prove that emotions can affect Ms. Lu's memory. But no relevant tests were conducted during the appraisal process. So I doubt the rigor of this appraisal result.

In addition, I doubt the qualifications of these experts. Can more proof of qualifications be provided?"

Shen Xinyin's voice was soft, but her rebuttal was well-reasoned.

Wang Li frowned. He could tell that this psychiatrist was very professional, so he changed the subject: "If according to your diagnosis, Ms. Lu has bipolar disorder, will this affect her behavior?"

"...Yes."

Wang Li said: "Please explain bipolar disorder to us."

"Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness. Clinically, there may be a period of extremely low mood and depression. After a period of time, it will show a particularly excited state.

This kind of excitement and depression occurs in cycles. Some people may experience high or low moods once every six months, some may experience it once a month, and severe people may experience it for several days or many times a week."

"Is this very similar to the symptoms of dissociative conversion disorder?"

"Not like that, they are not related."

"So, the patient's behavior patterns are very different in the two emotional states, right?"

Shen Xinyin looked at Wang Li for a long time, and finally replied, "Yes."

"Is it possible that she would suddenly exhibit aggressive behavior?"

"If she is in a manic phase, she might exhibit aggressive behavior."

"Your Honor, the expert witness's diagnosis can also prove that the plaintiff's emotions are very unstable, and she might exhibit inexplicable aggressive behavior when she is in a manic phase. I reasonably suspect that on the day of the incident, the defendant suddenly had a seizure, so he beat my client."

After waiting for a long time, the verdict came out. The chief judge pronounced the verdict in court: "...due to insufficient evidence, the plaintiff Lu Tian's rape lawsuit against Lin Qianjie is dismissed. Lin Qianjie is not guilty and is released in court..."

The audience was very noisy and people were talking about it. Some felt that the verdict was fair and that it would put an end to the trend of false accusations; others lamented that people without power are destined to lose a lawsuit...

Lu Tian listened to the chief judge's verdict calmly, then turned and smiled at Nie Yan, "Prosecutor Nie, we can't win after all. But thank you, thank you for staying with me."

It seemed that the ending was anticipated, or perhaps the antidepressants she had taken in advance took effect, and Lu Tian was not that sad. At least she had fought the darkness bravely. Even if she lost, she was still glorious in defeat!

Nie Yan tried hard to hold back her tears. She lost again, lost to power.

The law she learned did not uphold justice. On the contrary, her justice was strangled by Wang Li, the opponent, with the weapon of law.

She lost not only a lawsuit, but also her belief in the law and her once extremely firm dream.

She held Lu Tian's hand tightly and said with a sob: "Lu Tian, ​​promise me that you will live well, okay?"

Lu Tian nodded and said firmly, "Yes, I will." Even for Nie Yan, she had to live well. She couldn't let Nie Yan have another psychological shadow.

Lin Qianjie looked at them crying miserably, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He turned his head and said to Wang Li, "Lawyer Wang, you did a great job! I will find you next time."

"Do you want to have a next time?" Wang Li glared at him coldly, "If it wasn't for Ms. Jiang's face, do you think I would care about this kind of thing? Be more restrained, you won't be so lucky next time."

After Wang Li finished speaking, he left immediately.

Lin Qianjie rolled his eyes at his back, but he was soon attracted by Shen Xinyin. Just now in court, he fell in love with this beautiful and gentle psychologist.
