As they left the doctor's office, Han Chengda walked ahead and Han Fei followed behind. Just as Han Fei was about to leave, the doctor slipped a business card into his hand.
Han Fei held it in his hand, remaining calm and composed.
Han Chengda went to share the good news with Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao sighed: "Congratulations! I thought we'd gone from classmates to fellow patients!"
"You need to cooperate with the treatment and take your medicine properly."
“I…” Jiang Hao rubbed his temples: “It’s too difficult.”
Because his younger sister was still waiting in the car, Han Chengda didn't say much and left the hospital with his grandfather.
Xiaoqi had been peering intently out the car window at the hospital entrance. When she saw the two people come out, she quickly got out of the car and ran towards them.
"How are you? Grandpa, brother, have you finished your check-ups? Are you alright?"
"It's alright!" Han Chengda smiled and reached out to scoop his sister up with one hand.
He used to be able to carry his sister with one hand without any problem, but this time, Han Chengda silently stretched out his second hand and used both hands together to lift her up.
"Little Qi, from now on, share some of your sweets with your brother, and you have to eat less of them."
"Why!" The possessive little cub stared at him warily. "Big brother is trying to steal Little Seven's treats?"
Han Chengda explained, "The doctor just told me to eat more sweets."
"You're not sick, so why do I need to remind you?"
"It's still a minor issue, not exactly an illness, but if you don't take care of it, it could get worse and become a disease. Eating sweets can help prevent it from getting worse."
Xiao Qi asked doubtfully, "Big brother, you're not just saying this to trick me out of some treats, are you?"
"You can ask Grandpa if you don't believe me."
"Grandpa, did my older brother lie to me?" Xiao Qi asked earnestly.
Han Chengda was annoyed: "How little do you trust me? Are you that possessive of your food?"
Han Fei nodded: "From now on, Xiao Qi will give some of his rations to your elder brother."
Xiaoqi is indeed too fat and needs to control her weight.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi burst into tears.
"Big brother is bad! Big brother is going to steal Xiaoqi's delicious food! Aww..."
Han Chengda looked at Han Fei for help, but Han Fei turned his head away. Whoever makes the child cry should comfort them!
Helpless, Han Chengda could only coax his younger sister gently, "Little Qi, be good, big brother will take you to the park to fly a kite!"
"Really?" Xiaoqi's eyes sparkled.
Since my older brother started preparing for the high school entrance exam, he hasn't played with her for a long time.
Han Fei thought that flying kites would allow children to run around freely, and since the amusement park was spacious, it would also provide opportunities for children to exercise. He hoped that Xiao Qi could work up a sweat and lose some weight.
He was very supportive of Han Chengda and handed him a card: "Spend it however you like, the password is your birthday."
Xiaoqi stretched out her little hands: "Xiaoqi wants some too!"
Han Fei grabbed a handful of strawberry candies from his pocket and placed them in her palm: "Share the candies with your older brother."
Once a child has candy, they forget about needing a card in no time.
Han Fei got into another car and didn't go play with the two children anymore.
"Grandpa is so busy," Xiaoqi sighed.
Han Chengda teased, "You can pester him to come along."
Xiaoqi shook her head: "Grandpa needs to earn money to support Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi can't be unreasonable and delay Grandpa's work."
Han Chengda felt that his little sister was very frustrating; she could be very sensible when she wanted to be, but she could also be extremely naughty when she wanted to be.
...
In the car, Han Fei dialed the doctor's number.
“Hello, Mr. Han, I was afraid that telling the patient this in front of him would put too much pressure on him, so I could only contact you privately.”
"Doctor, please tell me, he's not with me right now."
"The patient is suspected of having bipolar disorder, a common mental disorder characterized by both manic and depressive episodes."
"During a manic episode, patients exhibit elevated mood, increased speech and activity, and high energy levels."
Han Fei recalled that when Han Chengda kicked the chair, he did indeed keep asking: "Just for a chair!"
He talks a lot and is indeed full of energy; he even wore out the chair.
"When a depressive episode occurs, patients often exhibit symptoms such as low mood, loss of pleasure, reduced speech and activity, fatigue and lethargy."
Han Fei recalled that the child usually seemed very quiet and aloof when he was out.
During the period of the high school entrance exam, he never left his room and studied all day long, as if he didn't know how tired he was.
"Its clinical manifestations are complex. The complexity is reflected in the fact that while the mood is low or high, repeated, alternating and irregular, it is accompanied by disordered symptoms such as inattention, rashness, grandiosity, flight of ideas, hyperresponsiveness, reduced sleep and increased speech."
"It also commonly causes anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and misuse of money. It can also cause symptoms of mental illness such as auditory hallucinations, paranoia, and high levels of stress."
Misusing money? Donating money doesn't count, does it? But he does donate a lot of money, not very restrained. Sometimes he even donates all his money, even the money for his lunch. Luckily, he has an all-powerful bodyguard like Doraemon, otherwise this kid would definitely go hungry.
Paranoia? It seems so; he always feels that his grandfather will harm him!
"The cause of this disease is still unclear. A large amount of research data suggests that biological factors and psychosocial factors have a significant impact on its occurrence and interact with each other, leading to the occurrence and development of the disease."
"Negative life events can increase the incidence of bipolar depression, while certain types of negative and positive life events can increase the incidence of bipolar mania."
"Triggering factors: Stressful events, lack of sleep, changes in economic situation, arguments with family members, seasonal changes, etc. may trigger the onset of bipolar disorder."
"Because it's only a preliminary test, we can't determine his condition yet."
"Mental health examinations are also required, such as brain imaging, chest X-rays, and laboratory tests. These are mostly exclusionary tests. In addition, relevant scales will be used, such as Hamilton Depression, Hamilton Anxiety, and Young's Mania. These are mostly auxiliary tests."
"The symptoms of the two diseases overlap, such as patients' emotional instability and impulsive behavior. Personality disorders are a continuous course of illness, with patients developing the disease before the age of 18. The onset is irregular, and the behavioral patterns and emotional characteristics affect all aspects of life. Personality tests can also help in the differentiation."
Han Fei took a deep breath: "So, there's no confirmed diagnosis yet, so maybe he doesn't have a problem."
"Yes. But..." the doctor hesitated.
Han Fei asked, "Can things be changed before a diagnosis is made?"
"It's not impossible."
"Currently, bipolar therapy options include medication, physical therapy, and psychotherapy."
"The best treatment is not just about dealing with acute attacks. We doctors also consider designing individualized treatment strategies to prevent future attacks or reduce the frequency of attacks, and improve the patient's function and quality of life."
"When dealing with patients in the trauma activation phase, the best approach is to soothe them, avoid arguing with them, and encourage them to participate in social activities as much as possible. Provide a quiet environment and reduce surrounding stimuli."
Han Fei frowned: "Isn't it a bit contradictory to want both social interaction and quiet?"
"This is inherently an alternating, contradictory condition."
"It's not that it hasn't been diagnosed yet, it's just that there's a possibility."
"As doctors, we can only consider the worst-case scenario. If that happens, we still have to take medication."
Does the medicine have side effects?
"have."
Han Fei hung up the phone, feeling very heavy-hearted.
The young leader is indeed a contradiction.
Just like in the original story, he is a character who is both righteous and evil, extremely good and extremely evil.
He was probably already sick at that time, and his illness caused him to be so conflicted.
Even if she appeared before the children were adopted and prevented them from being separated, the other children were still young and easy to change, but the eldest was older after all. His initial resistance when they first met showed that he was already very sensible.
He tried to be a pillar of support for his younger siblings, giving them a sense of security, but he neglected the fact that he was also a minor and needed someone to rely on. That's when the seeds of his illness were sown.
He is conflicted. He needs to grow up to be someone people can rely on, but he is also still young and wants to depend on others. This leads to his low mood, which causes him to use his irritable and fierce side to defend himself and his younger siblings. However, he also feels lonely and wants someone to lean on when he is alone.
Han Fei sighed, "Little boss, little boss, don't really go crazy."
...
At this moment, Han Chengda was running around in the park with Xiaoqi, and they were covered in sweat.
"Big brother, have some candy!" Xiao Qi looked pained, but still grabbed a strawberry candy and held it to Han Chengda's lips.
"I'm not eating, you eat."
Xiaoqi stubbornly insisted: "No, you have to eat it! The doctor told you to, but your older brother won't listen!"
Han Chengda had no choice but to accept the food from his little sister.
I have to say, eating a piece of candy makes me feel inexplicably good.
Perhaps sweet things really can make people happy.
"Han Chengda!" a voice called out.
Han Chengda looked over, and they met again on a narrow path!
Jiang Hao walked over, leading a little boy who looked about the same age as Xiao Wu.
"What's this?" Han Chengda was surprised that Jiang Hao had a younger brother.
Jiang Hao was an adopted child. If he had a younger brother, then that child would be the biological son of the couple who had him after he was adopted.
Han Chengda suddenly realized that he understood why Jiang Hao, despite his wealthy family and gentle mother, gave the impression that he was unhappy.
Every family has its own problems, and in this situation, probably no one would be happy.
If they hadn't already adopted him and couldn't abandon him, the couple probably wouldn't have wanted Jiang Hao after having their own biological son. They would have inevitably shown some emotion, since he was an adopted child and would be more sensitive. Jiang Hao must have noticed it.
"This kite is so beautiful, Jiang Hao, buy it!" the little boy commanded, acting like a spoiled young master.
He never regarded Jiang Hao as a sworn brother, but rather as a servant.
In ancient times, this would probably be considered a page or servant.
Jiang Hao frowned: "It's not something you can just buy whenever you want."
"I have money, so I can buy it! If I can't buy it, it's because I don't have enough money! Dad said there's nothing in this world that a rich person can't buy!"
