Recently, Xingyu (pseudonym), a 20-year-old man from Chengdu, came to the hospital accompanied by his family.
In the past few years, Xingyu has been "trapped by love", thinking that his stepmother's daughter likes him, even if it is just a reply in the circle of friends, in Xingyu's eyes, it is also a "hint" that the other party likes him. Recently, Xingyu's condition has been getting worse and worse, so he went to the hospital for treatment.
In the consultation room, the acute psychiatrist of the hospital diagnosed the young man, who suffered from a mental ** disorder called "delusion of love", also known as "peach blossom epilepsy".
A casual word is a "hint" and ends up in a slump
During the Spring Festival this year, Xingyu and his sister Yufen (pseudonym) returned to their home in Chengdu during winter vacation. Yufen's mother and Xingyu's father are a reorganized family, and the siblings are not related by blood, but despite this, the family is still happy.
In the past few years, Xingyu has always felt strange in his heart, and it has been even worse recently. For example, one day during the Spring Festival, Yufen came home, and his father just casually said to Xingyu, "Yufen is back", and Xingyu felt that this was a hint - "Yufen likes herself". He believes that in the past, his father would say "my sister is back", but he would not call her by her first name as he does now, "the title has changed, and the relationship must be different."
According to reports, the subtle differences in the language can produce huge ripples in Xingyu's heart. For example, when his sister Yufen posted a circle of friends, and when Xingyu got an ordinary reply after commenting, he would also feel that he was different, thinking that his sister must be liking him.
The so-called "hints" became more and more numerous, and although my sister denied it, she couldn't stop Xingyu's imagination. Recently, some of the things his parents said to him, he felt were some hints. His state is getting worse and worse, sometimes everyone talks to him, Xingyu doesn't react, and the whole person is in a trance.
The guy suffers from mental illness and is "delusional," the doctor reminded
Two days ago, accompanied by his family, Xingyu came to the Fourth People's Hospital of Chengdu for treatment.
In the third outpatient clinic of the Department of Acute Psychiatry, the doctor's diagnosis of Xingyu was suffering from "delusions of love", a mental ** disorder, "which is already very serious". Tan Fan told reporters that in view of Xingyu's situation, he has been arranged to be hospitalized, which will take about a month.
Tan Fan said that the so-called "delusion of love" is actually a kind of "delusion of love", the patient firmly believes that someone has a love for himself, even if he is rejected or denied by the other party, he still does not question the other party's "love" for himself, but thinks that the other party is testing his loyalty to love, so he is entangled with the other party, which is more common in mental disorders. In general, it takes at least two weeks to determine whether the patient is suffering from delusions of love, and the course of Xingyu's illness can even be several years.
Tan Fan introduced that the ** who loves delusions is not yet clear, among them, there are genetic, psychosocial factors, personality characteristics, brain neurotransmitter disorders and other reasons. It is generally believed that this is due to a combination of factors.
Winter goes to spring, spring is the season when everything is thriving, but the temptation of various mental illnesses is also very active. Tan Fan reminded that when spring comes, mental illness will enter a period of high incidence, such as emotional depression, mental illness, anxiety, sleep disorders, etc., and some people have had such diseases in the past, and it is easy to ** in this season.
The doctor reminded us to remember that the essence of delusion is a manifestation of mental abnormality, not a problem of ideological understanding, and cannot be changed by reasoning, explaining or advising on facts. When you find that your relatives and friends have mental abnormalities such as delusions, you should take him or her to seek help from a psychiatrist or psychological counselor in time.
