Psychomed
Wonder if i was sleeping throughout my first psychomed posting in year 4 to miss such stuff.. Anyway, this time round, managed to "catch" some spot diagnosis of psychiatric patients.
Drooping eyelids, downcast gaze, unenergetic movements, resting head on folded arms placed on the table, slow speech.. Depression. Never seen such an obvious case before.. Not much history needed to prove it anyway. Poor lady, husband took $$ from her before and now she's worrying all the time in hospital that her money will be gone..
Frantic shifting of gaze, eyes pleading for help, restlessness on her wheelchair and frantically asking for passers-by to let her lie down. "Please.." she pleaded "I just need to lie down.. I cannot sit up.. Please.." ....Anxiety Disorder. Haiz, would be quite a torture if i was like her.. feeling trapped all the time if i was sitting up, thinking something bad will happen if i don't lie down.. Just like having cockroaches all over one's body if one has phobia for them, and cannot do anything about them but to wait for someone to remove them...
Just receive photos from an NS friend. Long time no contact liao.. years already, but he still send me his photos from US. I wonder what makes humans think of another human.. Why is there a need for triggers to think of some people while for others, the thoughts are more intrusive than voluntary. Hmm.. because it is an obsession? Then again what causes the obsession if it really is one?
... The power of the subconscious mind... Are we really in control of ourselves?

Hi Kwang How,
How are you? I'm Sze Leng. Hope you remember me. Happened to chance upon your blog from friendster. Looks to me your life have been quite hectic and interesting.
Actually, someone close to me is experiencing some psychiatric problems too. The symptoms you described in your blog fit almost perfectly. What do doctors actually do with such people?
The human mind is just so precious and yet, so fragile.

Hey Sze Leng, of course i remember you. Doctors can actually prescribe medicine and also give special forms of counselling to help patients with these conditions. Hope your friend is doing fine now :)
