In the past two days, the "genius son living in a mental hospital" has exploded on the Internet.
He taught himself three foreign languages and translated 17 foreign books of about 6 million words, but he was locked up in a psychiatric hospital. Why do I get this disease? What can we do about this disease?
The newspaper received a strange call
In November last year, a man from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, called the newspaper from the funeral home and said can you write the story of my son, he is a genius, but he is in a psychiatric hospital, and his mother just left today.
Receiving such a call, the reporter of the newspaper was also confused, what kind of story is this?
The protagonist of the story is named Jin Xiaoyu, when he was 6 years old, his left eye was accidentally blinded by a child with a toy gun.
Children are particularly sensible, always comforting mom and dad that it's okay, I'm used to it, but the more sensible the child, the easier it is to attack himself inward, and the invisible damage has just begun.
He had excellent grades since he was a child and had always been a top student, but one day in his freshman year of high school, he suddenly said, I don't want to study.
The child is out of shape
Later, the child slowly developed bipolar disorder, that is, manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, and the patient will alternate episodes of depression and mania.
When you are depressed, you will commit suicidal behavior, and when you are manic, you will smash the TV and refrigerator at home.
Fortunately, there is a mother, the mother always said, the car does not fall just push, said sick or good, how good, as long as you push forward, you can push over. It was his mother who forced him to learn English, it was his mother who made him must go to the queue to get a reading card...
And his father was his teacher and his assistant, and later became his secretary, his spokesman.
When I first started translating the manuscripts, my father was still a little worried, but Xiaoyu said, I can do it, Dad, you can rest assured, I will not be worse than others, you go to the Zhejiang Library to check the borrowing registration card, every book I have borrowed has the name of Jin Xiaoyu,
Dad asked, how many novels have you read?
Xiaoyu said that I had read all the foreign language novels in the library.
There is no natural genius in this world, only the absolute love of parents, and the indomitable efforts of children, and then it is to insist on not giving up, and miracles will surely occur.
Dad became half an expert
Regarding bipolar disorder, over the years, the father has also become a half-expert.
He bought a lot of books to read, but also found a lot of psychiatry experts, this disease comes and goes quickly, the danger is that do not know when to come, when to go, take medicine can not be controlled, the only thing that can be done is to send to the hospital in time.
Another point is that Xiaoyu's father is a lot more down-to-earth, usually such patients rarely have this thought after one or two suicide attempts, and they will cherish life more than before.
Another point that Xiaoyu's father did not dare to think about, that is, such patients would have different reactions in the spiritual field, and even show genius creativity.
For example, we are familiar with Newton, Van Gogh, Beethoven, Hemingway, they are actually patients with bipolar disorder.
They have had the typical manifestations of bipolar disorder throughout their lives, endured pain beyond ordinary people, and are genius creators with great imaginations.
What exactly is bipolar disorder?
In fact, it is a psychological disease with extreme changes in mood as the main manifestation, bipolar disorder, and patients will alternate episodes of depression and mania.
When you are manic, you feel that the brain is running rapidly, it is extremely excited, it is talking endlessly, it is exaggerated and excessive self-esteem, it is distracted, and many unrealistic thoughts will appear.
There will be reckless actions, such as impulsive shopping, alcoholism, promiscuity, and even illegal behavior.
And if you enter depression, it is obviously depressed, not interested in anything, very pessimistic, depressed, unwilling to move, unwilling to talk, unwilling to interact with people.
The whole person's attention and energy will decline, appetite will decline, insomnia, negativity, masochism, suicidal behavior, unable to work, study and live normally.
Clinical manifestations of mania and depression alternate repeatedly in patients with bipolar disorder.
Multiple seizures can be repeated throughout a lifetime, and during the interval between seizures, the mental state is completely back to normal.
The first episode is mostly between the ages of 16 and 30, with more females than men, and the duration of each episode is 2 to 6 months.
Drug therapy, including psychological counseling, as well as some related physical therapy, rehabilitation treatment methods are also available, it is important to detect early and intervene early.
Why do I get this disease?
How can you get such a disease? Experts say there are two factors, genetics and the environment.
Back to the genius son Xiaoyu in the story, he grew up in Tianjin, injured in Tianjin, one eye was completely blind, and later transferred to Hangzhou with his parents.
A child with a disability in the class suddenly appeared, how would the children react? Faced with a new environment, how did Xiaoyu grow up?
In his father's account, this passage is not described in detail and passes by.
For parents, I think this is also a wake-up call, in addition to paying attention to the child's learning, paying attention to the child's body, whether there is a long man, whether there is a disease, we must pay attention to the child's mental health:
Does he have friends, does he feel secure enough, is he happy?
Life goes on as usual
When Xiaoyu's father called the newspaper, Xiaoyu's mother had just died, so he was calling at the funeral home.
At that time, Xiaoyu was tied up in the hospital, his father did not dare to tell him the news of his mother's death, every time he went to see him, he would cry and scream, please take me home, Daddy let's go home...
Mom had Alzheimer's disease in the last three years of her life, she couldn't take care of herself, she lay in bed for three years, she was Xiao Yu's mother, and he never lost her temper with her mother.
Xiaoyu's 22nd book is a German book, 530,000 words, called "Collection of Letters".
After everyone knew his story, many reporters went to interview him, and during this time he was at home, he did not fall ill, and he was very calm in the face of the reporter's interview.
Saying that he had no plans for the future, he wanted to finish the "Arcade Project" before his father turned 88 years old, and if he did almost translate German, he wanted to continue to learn to translate Spanish.
Yes, life goes on.
In fact, life is not so wonderful, it will not be so ordinary, there is such a thought, can live endlessly, is a great thing.
