Chapter 36 - I Have a Mental Disorder! (2/2)

“Hello, tell me more about your condition.” He put on his spectacles before he glanced at her.

“Professor He, I think that I have a mental disorder!” Lin Yan stared at He Ruiyuan as she whispered.

He Ruiyuan chuckled when he heard her. “Did you diagnose yourself? It’s not up to you to diagnose anything regarding your mental health. What’s your family name?”

“My family name is Lin,” replied Lin Yan.

“Hi, Miss Lin. Can you please elaborate on why you believe that you have a mental disorder?” The old man smiled at her.

Lin Yan pondered this briefly before she spoke. “It’s a long story, Professor He. Do you want me to start from the beginning and mention every detail?”

He Ruiyuan replied, “Just the gist will do.”

“Alright.” Lin Yan bowed her head as she said, “I lose consciousness often. During these periods, I do absurd stuff. I don’t even know what I’ve done!”

Lin Yan added quickly, “Professor He, I read that you cured a criminal suffering from dissociative identity disorder. I think that my condition is exactly like his. I must be sick mentally. I have dissociative identity disorder. My gut tells me that my other personality has a strong tendency to attack!”

The old man rose and checked Lin Yan’s eyes. After examining her, he sat down once more.

“Miss Lin, don’t worry too much. Your condition is very common. I don’t think you are suffering from dissociative identity disorder. Your loss of memory must be due to recent stress and emotional upheavals,” explained He Ruiyuan patiently.

“Huh? Impossible!” Lin Yan looked bewildered, as he had merely checked her eyes… This checkup seemed too brief!

“Ha ha… Miss Lin, if you don’t believe me, you may proceed and have a more thorough checkup.”

“But the fees…”

“It’s all free today.”

“Okay, sure!” Lin Yan nodded like a little chick pecking at grains on the ground.
