"Lin Fan also developed psychomotor changes. These manifested as slowed movements and thinking, a lazy lifestyle, alienation from family and friends, a lack of social interaction, and low work efficiency. Her condition was very severe when she first became ill: she wouldn't speak, move, or eat. It was a severe case of 'depressive stupor'. She spent three months in a mental hospital before recovery."
"Her mind would always wander uncontrollably, repetitively, with no logical coherence. She once spent a week dwelling on the broken cobblestones on the neighborhood's walkway. She knew it had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't help it, staying up all night, thinking about those pebbles that had long since been disposed of without a trace."
Everyone looked at Lin Fan at the same time. They understood everything but still felt terrible because they couldn't control themselves.
"Lin Fan often becomes restless and her speech is incoherent, but fortunately, she has not displayed any aggressive behavior. She said she often hears voices that others cannot, and she believes she may be hallucinating."
"But considering she heard the sound of a truck losing control before her second transformation, and our agents were completely oblivious to it, I remain skeptical and unsure whether she was hallucinating."
"Is her hearing test normal?" A researcher looked through the physical examination report.
"It's normal. Her hearing value is slightly higher than that of ordinary people, but still within the normal range. But she is afraid of noise and likes a relatively quiet environment. I hope everyone can understand this." Jin Sichen replied.
"She has complete self-awareness of her condition and symptoms, can describe them accurately and clearly, and has a correct understanding of her current state, but she does not hold any hope for a cure. She also has a certain lack of self-awareness."
"There are also many physical symptoms. Lin Fan has been listless, weak, and tired. No matter how much he rests, it's useless."
Everyone looked at Lin Fan again, and he was indeed huddled dejectedly in the chair.
"She also has trouble sleeping. She has trouble falling asleep, and even when she does, she wakes up easily. She has several dreams and feels more tired than if she hadn't slept at all. She wakes up early, usually around 4 or 5 a.m. and can't fall back asleep. This sleep disorder is also a major reason for her constant fatigue."
"His appetite has decreased, but his weight hasn't gone down, and he's also showing signs of bloating and obesity. Initial speculation suggests this is a side effect of the medication. It's been two years since Lin Fan stopped taking the medication, and the fact that the side effects haven't resolved is unusual. I haven't found the specific cause yet."
"Her mood is best when she first wakes up in the morning, gradually worsening as the day progresses. It is at its worst before bed at night. This is also an important cause of her sleep disorders."
"She also has a range of pain symptoms, including headaches, heartaches, and joint pain, but the physical examination report shows no physical abnormalities. I believe this is also somatization disorder. In other words, the pain is real, but there is no actual organ damage, so it can't be treated with targeted medication like regular pain relief."
"Does she need to take medicine to cure her condition?" A researcher asked, frowning as he looked at the full records in his notebook.
"Lin Fan's current symptoms have passed the acute and consolidation phases. She only needs maintenance treatment. That means maintaining her current condition and continuing to improve."
"Due to the numerous side effects she's experiencing, medication is not currently being considered. We've decided to use only psychotherapy to address each of the aforementioned symptoms."
"Because the risk of relapse of depression is very high, and Lin Fan's physical condition is indeed not good, we hope everyone will be more understanding and try not to arrange the testing too frequently to avoid excessive fatigue and causing additional stress for her."
"We'll try to create a relatively good recovery environment for her to achieve the fastest treatment results. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay chopping wood. In daily interactions, don't be too concerned or overly enthusiastic; just maintain normalcy."
"Please don't be angry if she ignores you. When she feels the time is right, she will naturally take the initiative to communicate."
"The above is the complete explanation of Lin Fan's condition. Oh, there is one more thing. Lin Fan's diet is not good. In order to make her nutrition balanced, I hope to customize a nutritious diet for her, starting with small amounts and gradually restoring the normal intake of three meals a day. I don't know anything about this. I wonder if you don't have any nutritionists?" Jin Sichen looked at Xie Bisheng and asked.
"Don't worry about that. We've already prepared it. That person is Wu Yi, who's in charge of Lin Fan's health monitoring. She has a nutritionist certificate, so she'll definitely have no problem customizing a nutritious diet for Lin Fan."
Xie Bisheng pointed at a young girl at the conference table and said to Jin Sichen, "That's perfect. I'll introduce the members of Group 623 so you can get acquainted with them."
"Lin Fan, do you want to take a look and recognize the person?" John Woo asked in a low voice beside him.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Fan slowly raised his head and leaned back on his chair.
After listening to Jin Sichen's narration, everyone thought Lin Fan must be haggard, even bitter and resentful. However, that was not the case at all.
She has an oval face with not much flesh on it, which is completely disproportionate to her plump body.
His features were regular, but his skin was a bit dull. His eyebrows were long and dark, and his eyes were narrow and narrow. His eyelids were drooping, making it hard to tell if they were phoenix eyes or something else, but they also looked like they were not fully open. His eyes were lifeless and looked a bit dull.
The corners of her mouth are naturally slightly upturned, so even though she has no expression on her face, she doesn't look depressed. Instead, she appears to be carefree and calm.
Her face wasn't ugly, and even looked pretty from certain angles, but it felt listless. She leaned back in her chair, quietly letting everyone look at her. She looked calm and composed, as if she wasn't the one surrounded by all the pain.
"Lin Fan has become accustomed to suppressing all kinds of emotions, and it can't be seen from her face. But this is not good, because depression is the result of suppressing all kinds of emotions for a long time. I hope I can open her heart as soon as possible and let her vent all her emotions. By then, she will be close to recovery." Jin Sichen said.
Everyone understood that having no expression was not a good thing. It would be better to show it by crying. Holding it in for too long would make you sick.
No one looked at him for long, quickly looking away after recognizing him to avoid making Lin Fan feel uncomfortable. The researchers were well-educated and well-educated, and their understanding and thoughtfulness towards others were very caring.
"Then let me introduce the 623 project team formed specifically for Lin Fan." Xie Bisheng said.
"Deputy Chief Xie, may I ask if the number 623 has any special meaning?" John Woo suddenly asked.
"It doesn't have any special meaning. It's just that the project was launched on June 23rd. We have many research projects at the 800 Institute, and because they involve confidential information, we mostly use the launch date as the project code to avoid trouble," Xie Bisheng explained. "If you want to say it has a special meaning, our institute's name does have a special meaning."
"I'd like to hear more about it." John Woo continued with a smile.
"Our institute wasn't originally called the 800 Institute. Later, a leader suggested that the number 8 was a good idea, as it symbolizes prosperity. Furthermore, when it's turned upside down, it forms the symbol of infinity, signifying the never-ending nature of scientific research. The two zeros at the end represent both the starting point and the cycle."
Not only John Woo and his group, but also the people in Group 623 listened with great interest. They never knew that the name of the institute had such a meaning.
"Apart from this, most other numerical codes don't have any special meaning. As long as they don't overlap with previous projects, they can be used directly. So the size of the number doesn't necessarily indicate the order of project establishment or the level of importance it places. It all depends on the content of the project itself."
John Woo nodded to show that he understood, and Xie Bisheng then began to introduce.
He pointed to the middle-aged man sitting to his right, the one who'd asked about Lin Fan's specific symptoms, and said, "This is Team Leader Yu Guangli, who's in charge of Group 623. He's responsible for overseeing the progress of the entire project and reports directly to me. He's responsible for scheduling the testing schedule and research projects. If you ever find any issues with the progress, just talk to him directly. He's a mechanical power engineering researcher with a keen interest in humanoid mechas."
Yu Guangli stood up and greeted Wu Yusen and Jin Sichen, and then politely said to Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, please take care of me in the future."
He didn't think too much when he spoke. He just felt that it was not good to leave Lin Fan alone after greeting the other two, and did not expect any response. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan nodded slightly after hearing it.
He felt a little happy in the unexpected situation, as it proved that communicating with Lin Fan was not as difficult as he had imagined.
The others were delighted by Lin Fan's response; even Xie Bisheng laughed. He then introduced the woman next to Yu Guangli.
"This is Doctor Xiao Lanping. We specialize in mechanical science, and most of our researchers are in mechanical engineering fields, not medicine. I know Lin Fan's condition requires a physical examination, so I've specially seconded Doctor Xiao from the Medical Department."
"Our medical department is full of talented people, and Dr. Xiao is one of the best. She has superb medical skills and extensive knowledge, and is a rare general practitioner. She is the perfect person to perform a physical examination and treatment on Lin Fan."
Dr. Xiao Lanping is a woman in her late fifties with an oval face, smooth skin without wrinkles, and hair neatly tied behind her head. She has gentle eyes and a smile on her lips.
She is a doctor and has a deeper understanding of depression than the average person. She frowned at what Jin Sichen said just now.
This Lin Fan has suffered a great deal. After Deputy Chief Xie finished his introduction, he stood up and nodded to Wu Yusen and the others, then smiled gently and said to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, please take care of me."
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment when he saw Dr. Xiao's eyes full of pity, then he lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
Doctor Xiao saw Lin Fan lower his eyes, wondering if he had said something wrong, and looked at Jin Sichen for help. Jin Sichen also saw it and shook his head at Doctor Xiao, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
Look! Lin Fan's moods are so changeable. No one knows when or what words will cause her to change. Although Jin Sichen has also urged everyone to be careful not to hurt Lin Fan, there are often times when these spontaneous mood swings are unavoidable.
Just like the change of seasons, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon can also trigger emotional changes in patients with depression, but it is impossible to stop the seasons from changing, right?
If you have to be so cautious about everything, everyone around you will be exhausted. So, if there's no clear cause and effect for emotional changes, don't worry too much. Once Lin Fan recovers, these will naturally disappear.
