Chapter 785 Amnesia
Dr. Ken was the second group to arrive at Cheng Ling's survival island.
As soon as he got off the speedboat, he saw Cheng Ling surrounded by a group of team members. The male protagonist, Jiang Qilan, stood outside the crowd with a lonely look on his face, looking at Cheng Ling and the others from afar.
"Mr. Fang," Dr. Ken walked to Jiang Qilan and asked mischievously, "Your lover is hugging someone else, aren't you jealous?"
Jiang Qilan smiled bitterly.
Dr. Ken was so perceptive that he immediately noticed that Jiang Qilan's mood was not right.
Just as he was about to ask more questions, he saw Nolan running towards him from a distance, shouting, "Ken, you're finally here!"
"What's wrong?" Dr. Ken asked.
"Captain Cheng Ling is not in a good state!" Nolan said anxiously.
Dr. Ken asked nervously, "What's wrong? "
Many victims who have experienced life-and-death disasters and survived alone have suffered from very serious mental illnesses. Some even committed suicide after being rescued because they could not bear the psychological trauma.
Therefore, it must be taken seriously.
Nolan glanced at Jiang Qilan and explained to Dr. Ken: "Captain... everything else is normal, but she has completely forgotten Mr. Fang's true identity. She only remembers that Mr. Fang is an antique dealer... I also used Mr. Fang's real name 'Jiang Qilan' to stimulate her, but she had no reaction. "
"Ah?" Dr. Ken's expression became more serious, "Then what is her attitude towards Mr. Fang?"
"Very indifferent, she remembers that they had, uh, a few one-night stands, she said that it was loneliness among adults, to meet each other's physiological needs, not any emotions, and asked Mr. Fang not to misunderstand..."
Dr. Ken looked at Cheng Ling who was chatting and laughing with the team members in the distance, and said slowly: "I am worried that Captain Cheng Ling has amnesia-"
"Amnesia? "Nolan and Jiang Qilan repeated at the same time.
"Yes," Dr. Ken nodded.
"We often hear about amnesia. In fact, there are many types of amnesia. There is a kind of amnesia in which the patient loses the memory of certain specific time periods, specific events, and specific people. Medically, it is called [episodic amnesia]. "
"Some patients suffer from dissociative amnesia-usually the patient loses memory after suffering a painful blow that ordinary people can hardly imagine. This kind of dissociative disorder is most commonly amnesia of personal identity, while the memory of general information is complete. The patient will suddenly forget his previous life or personality, or the relevant memory of important people in his life. This is traumatic amnesia. "
"Captain Cheng Ling's situation is very similar to these two types of amnesia. "
"Can these two types of amnesia be recovered?" Jiang Qilan asked anxiously.
Dr. Ken sighed: "It's hard to say... The treatment of amnesia is very difficult. Because the cause is more complicated, we generally have to trace the cause and then carry out targeted treatment. "
Dr. Ken pondered for a while and asked, "I remember that you said Captain Cheng Ling was interrogated with electric shocks to the brain, right?"
Jiang Qilan and Nolan nodded heavily at the same time.
Dr. Ken touched his chin and analyzed, "According to my analysis, there may be two reasons for Captain Cheng Ling's amnesia."
"One is active, also called selective amnesia."
"One is passive, which is physiological amnesia."
"[Selective amnesia]-usually the patient's memory of a certain period of time, certain things, or a certain person, selectively remembers some and forgets some."
"If it is selective amnesia, I guess that during the interrogation, Captain Cheng Ling may have deliberately chosen to forget the information related to Mr. Fang's true identity for the purpose of protecting Mr. Fang... This kind of amnesia is more optimistic, because at some point in the future, she can still restore these memories-however, the brain may also activate defense mechanisms to prevent her from remembering these memories, because the brain will misjudge that these memories may bring [electric shocks], triggering the defense mechanism-the brain will refuse to remember things related to Mr. Fang. "
"If it is a [physiological amnesia] caused by an accidental head injury, such as the electric shock she suffered, long-term brain hypoxia causing damage to the brain's memory area, or a severe impact on the head causing blood accumulation in the brain... causing damage to the brain's memory area. "
"If the head is hit and blood is bruised, the blood clot presses on part of the memory nerve area, causing memory loss - this can be done through surgery, and after bleeding, the relevant memory can be restored. "
"If the brain has suffered permanent and irreparable damage... then... it may never be possible to recover the lost memory. "
