Chapter 490 Alcohol Makes a Boy Desperate

After Dean Jia finished talking about Liu Dandan, he gave Mu Chun several tasks.

The first one was about assisting the Fengchuan First Prison. Mu Chun told Dean Jia that everything was going well and that he would try his best to comply with the prison's regulations. After all, prisoners were different from ordinary patients in the psychosomatic department.

Dean Jia was very satisfied with Mu Chun's attitude.

Another task was about the internship program and the annual internal training program. Although this matter had not been completely decided, Dean Jia had already assigned the task to Mu Chun.

"It's always good to prepare in advance. I see that there are more and more patients in your psychosomatic department. However, I still maintain my original attitude. The psychosomatic department should actively cooperate with the work of other departments. Our patients should still be mainly from other departments."

Dean Jia stood up and prepared to leave.

"Okay, Dean, I've written down all the tasks you assigned."

After sending Dean Jia out of the outpatient department, Mu Chun breathed a sigh of relief and opened his notebook to organize the next work.

Liu Dandan's matter finally made progress. After knowing why he had not appeared in the hospital recently, Mu Chun also roughly thought of how to help Liu Dandan solve his current troubles.

He guessed that Liu Dandan wanted to find some useful methods in the psychosomatic department to help his mother. Thinking of this, Mu Chun opened the browser and typed in "Yuanshan Food Co., Ltd."

The search results of Yuanshan Food Co., Ltd. soon appeared on the monitor, most of which were about Yuanshan Food Co., Ltd.'s well-known foods - Yuanshan brand durian candy, durian forget-return quick frozen pizza, and durian ice cream.

Mu Chun burped and continued to scroll down.

Afterwards, he found an announcement about Yuanshan Food Co., Ltd.'s bankruptcy due to debt problems.

The legal representative of Yuanshan Food Co., Ltd. is Liu Dandan's mother Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian is 52 years old this year. Mu Chun didn't know why she started drinking, but she should have been drinking and hadn't stopped until now.

As for the extent of drinking, we need to see her in person and listen to her explanation when she is clear, or Liu Dandan may be able to explain it clearly.

Among the patients he met recently, Mu Chun listed them. Bai Lu had a long history of drinking; Zhou Ming's father Zhou Ping also had a long-term drinking problem. He was drunk all three times he met. Mu Chun really couldn't remember when Zhou Ping was sober or what it was like to be completely sober.

Thinking of Bai Lu and Zhou Ping, Mu Chun felt a little worried again. Although Bai Lu had gotten better before, after her husband He Ping got into trouble, she chose to numb her life with alcohol at night, and she got drunk again. Fortunately, Bai Lu didn't interact with strangers this time, but called Mu Chun.

Thinking of Bai Lu's drunken and confused appearance that night, Mu Chun couldn't tell the taste.

Fortunately, Mu Xiao was with him. I always felt that there was a trace of strange smell in the alcohol that permeated the night.

The gray night was hazy, and the night around the sea was quiet and irritable.

The sea in the distance was quiet, and I don't know how much anxiety was buried under the sea. On the distant mountains, orange and green lights were like the eyes of animals, squinting at the whole city and paying attention to everyone in the whole city.

"There is someone behind." Mu Xiao said so at the time.

Thinking of this, Mu Chun clenched his fists and refocused his attention on the issue of alcohol.

A child facing an alcoholic mother, this is Liu Dandan's life, this kind of life has lasted for many years, so Liu Dandan has a temperament of simplicity and maturity. He is very smart but has poor interpersonal relationships in school.

Everyone has their own story of dependence on alcohol. Some people drink because they are difficult to resolve depression, some people drink to escape reality, and some people drink to enjoy the carefree state under the influence of alcohol.

Everyone's life is different, and alcohol means different things to everyone.

Mu Chun has read a latest social survey report. In recent years, the number of drinkers worldwide has shown a small and stable increase, and the sales volume of alcoholic products has also shown a gradual upward trend in the past five years.

Alcohol addiction and alcohol-related disorders are a more difficult category to identify [substance-related disorders], but the prevalence rate is rising, as is the sales of alcohol products.

In different regional cultures, alcohol has its unbreakable place, and drinking is often a social and cultural symbol.

Although repeated high-dose intake of alcohol affects almost every organ system in the human body, humans can clearly know that this is not good, but they can't get rid of it, and even enjoy it.

In many families, persuading family members to "don't drink, drink less" sometimes gets violent or unfriendly feedback. For example, a woman suggests to her husband, "Can you drink less? It's not good for your health." It may not be friendly recognition, but the husband will say, "I don't spend your money on drinking."

Tell a drinker, "Drinking is bad for your health." The person may glare at you or say that he knows, but his body honestly picks up the glass.

What's worse, he said helplessly, "I don't want to drink at all, but I have to socialize, so I can't help it."

In short, the prevalence of alcohol use disorder in men aged 12-17 due to drinking is about 5%, and this figure will become about 10% when they are over 18 years old, and will rise to about 15% after adulthood.

In contrast, people may think that the prevalence of alcohol use disorder in women should be lower than that in men. In fact, the results are not much more optimistic. Nowadays, more and more women will choose to use alcohol to get rid of the troubles in life, just like Bailu.

It is not easy to diagnose alcohol use disorder or general alcohol love. Mu Chun stood up and walked to the window, pouring the remaining water in the cup into the pot of Pinellia.

Thinking to himself, isn't the water fragrant?

Then he looked out the window with the empty cup in his hand. At this time, Mu Chun suddenly felt a little depressed. He actually forgot that Pan Guangshen was also an alcohol addict, and he sent himself to Fengchuan First Prison because he was drunk.

Thinking of this, Mu Chun held the porcelain white water cup tightly, and then turned to the computer.

[Diagnostic criteria and treatment of alcohol-related disorders], Mu Chun typed a line of text on the computer.

At the Mental Health Annual Conference after the New Year, Muchun hopes that the topic of alcohol use disorder, which is easily ignored and taken lightly, can get the attention it deserves, because alcohol problems are not just a problem of drinking by one person, it is related to many physical and mental diseases, and it is also related to the harmony of many families and the growth of children.

A boy like Liu Dandan, facing an alcohol-dependent mother, feels so much despair and powerlessness.

What can he do? What should he do? What can he do? How much can a little boy understand?
