"how is the situation?"

As soon as the video in the conference room was connected, Master Tong couldn't wait to ask, he is doing some GOA cooperation work in Ross Country.

Those who participated in this meeting were all current high-level officials of the Tianji Bureau. After two years of changes, a group of old people have been replaced, and some meritorious newcomers have come to power.

"Not very good." Professor Ma and Dr. Shen brought bad news. After talking about some test results, Professor Ma said again: "Considering that Ah Jun has no psychological trauma, it is a dysfunction caused by brain damage, and this kind of TSD persistent avoidance symptoms."

With this conclusion, as if something bad had come true, the air in the meeting room suddenly froze.

"Why did it hurt the frontal lobe..." Master Tong turned red with anger, Yao Shinian sighed, and the others were also heavy and sad.

No one likes the diagnosis, which is arguably the worst possible outcome.

The best situation is that there is spiritual erosion or other abnormal forces, but it provides an opportunity to solve the abnormal problem and get better.

The second is that Gu Jun really has TSD caused by psychological trauma.

That is, psychology leads to physical changes, and physical changes aggravate psychological problems. The treatment idea is very clear. While using drug treatment to relieve physical symptoms and improve mental symptoms, psychological treatment is used to solve the patient's trauma, and even use the "psychic barrier technology" contributed by Deng Ximei to bypass the trauma. In this way, the mind is healed, and the brain function is gradually improved, and then it can be cured.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. There is actually no good way to treat TSD in existing medicine. There is no drug that can produce satisfactory effects on its various symptom groups. At present, most of them still use anti-anxiety drugs and antidepressants, that is, symptomatic treatment. That's all.

Therefore, the cure rate and treatment quality are very low. At least 1/3 of TSD patients will not heal for life and can only live in pain; more than half of the patients are often accompanied by various mental disorders. Suicide rates in people with TSD are six times higher than in the general population.

But at least there is a cure, a hope of recovery.

Now Gu Jun is in the worst situation. His problem is not psychological trauma, but brain damage.

This kind of problem is precisely the most impossible to cure. How to restore the brain that has suffered irreversible brain damage? This is not something that human medicine can do now. It is for this reason that medicine defines such brain damage as "irreversible".

"Do you have any ideas about drug treatment?" Yao Shinian still asked unwillingly.

"Existing drugs are difficult to have a curative effect on his condition, but you can try it." Professor Ma said helplessly.

TSD has always been a difficult problem in the world, and it is also a difficult problem for Tianji Bureau.

Four core symptom groups of TSD: intrusive symptom group, persistent avoidance, negative changes in cognition and mood, and increased alertness.

Medication is used to alleviate these symptoms so that they do not interfere with psychotherapy and to allow patients to maintain their daily lives as much as possible.

Gu Jun doesn't have many symptoms, so he doesn't need to take anti-anxiety drugs. At most, he can take some norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, and try to see if it can reduce the avoidance symptoms and improve neuroendocrine. As for irreversible brain damage, it can only be recuperated slowly to see if it can recover by itself.

"The patient needs to rest for a period of time to allow the brain to recover, and then moderately stimulate it and increase the dose slowly. We will check him regularly to observe the changes in his brain morphology, and try to perform traumatic surgery if he improves. Exposure therapy. The treatment for him must not be rushed, the treatment time should be set at more than 1 year, and preparations must be made... "

Professor Ma is very reluctant to say this, but this is his responsibility sitting here, "the patient will most likely not recover, and the symptoms will develop chronically, and can only be controlled for life. In the short term, the patient is no longer suitable for work that is exposed to abnormalities , You should also avoid exposure to relevant information in your life.”

Listening to these diagnostic words, Master Tong and the others looked even more serious, but they all knew that Professor Ma was not scaremongering.

Today Ah Jun almost had a cerebral hemorrhage just after seeing a few pictures of abnormal things, what else can he do...

"We also worried," Ma added, "that the situation would be really traumatic for him, causing him to develop more TSD symptoms."

"I talked to Ah Jun." Dr. Shen's voice was low, "It's true that he didn't seem to be traumatized by the heterosquamia incident, but he opened up to many things a lot. But today's examination results made him very depressed. I You can see it, and if he had to just semi-retire like that, it would probably be a traumatic experience for him."

Everyone in the meeting screen was silent, this situation was a major shock to anyone.

Gu Jun is only 22 years old, and it is the time when the future is bright, and this era is also the time when people like him are needed, and he also has his own pursuit.

Now, after giving everything, although he narrowly escaped death, he lost his talent and became a "disabled person"...

Among the 27 patients with heterosquamia who died, 9 of them committed suicide after the operation, and most of these people were like Xie Yiman, with prosperous careers and bright futures, all of which collapsed overnight. From the perspective of TSD, the suicide of those 9 patients was an acute stress behavior, while many other patients had related disorders.

Now Gu Jun only takes up the item of continuous avoidance, but what about the long-term

Changes in brain structure and function will in turn affect psychology and spirit. If Gu Jun's condition worsens, based on biological and research data, his temperament will almost certainly have negative changes. People with low S value caused by TSD usually have this negative change.

At that time, maybe they will really lose that secret hero forever and ever.

"We must do a good job." At this time, the old director said, "When the next crisis occurs, someone like Gu Jun can stand up."

Gu Jun can only take a long vacation, but abnormal events cannot never happen again, big or small, there will always be a next time.

At that time, it is no longer possible to count on Gu Jun's ability, trigger phantoms to find clues, etc. as in the past few major incidents.

In fact, as early as the beginning of Gu Jun's coma, the alarm bell was sounded. In the past two years, Gu Jun has made the work of the bureau easier, but this should not be a normal state, and it cannot be relied on now. So during this period of time, they have been increasing the work of talent discovery and training, and the goal is to have one hundred Gu Jun and one thousand Gu Jun.

"I'm applying again to bring Wang Ruoxiang back to our spell department." Master Tong babbled to everyone, "and Deng Ximei. These two are good candidates. Forget about Wu Shiyu, she has talent but doesn't have that pursuit. Tianji Expand the scope of enrollment at the university, and find some good seedlings... As for Ah Jun..."

Master Tong heaved a long sigh, "This kid is so injured that he is still alive... I'll go back and tell him about the vacation, this kid..."

Everyone pondered, and now it can only be like this for the time being.
