01. She was once diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but now she has graduated from university and has stopped medication!
Recently, we received some good news: Xing Yan, a patient who underwent systematic, clinically precise psychological intervention three years ago, has now graduated from university and has long stopped taking medication!
To others, Xing Yan is a top student; although she did not perform well on the college entrance exam, she still got admitted into a 985 university. However, she has always faced significant psychological pressure.
During the winter break of her sophomore year, Xing Yan experienced a noticeable depressive episode, often expressing that life was painful and meaningless. She felt exhausted and suffered from insomnia for several nights.
Her parents took her to see a doctor, and she was diagnosed with depression. After the winter break, she was very afraid of going back to school, but not wanting to fall behind in her studies, she gritted her teeth and went.
As a result, she went three days and nights without sleeping at school and experienced hallucinations, even walking to the rooftop of the dormitory, nearly committing suicide. Her parents were terrified and quickly brought her home to arrange for a leave of absence.
Her parents took her to see a doctor again, and this time the psychiatrist diagnosed her with bipolar disorder, even suggesting she was at an early stage of schizophrenia.
Her parents were very fearful but also steeled themselves to seek help for their daughter. Xing Yan was on long-term medication and received psychological counseling, and her emotions stabilized to some extent, but she still lacked vitality.
She didn’t want to go back to school, nor did she want to go out; she wanted to escape from her problems, lying flat at home, hiding under the indulgence and care of her parents.
When her parents brought her to see us for a consultation, she seemed dazed and her gaze was wandering. She wouldn’t look at the person she was speaking to and was unwilling to accept psychological intervention. It was only under her mother’s insistence that she finally agreed.
However, once the initial phase of psychological intervention showed results, she quickly regained her motivation and became very cooperative.
In the second half of 2021, after the clinical precise psychological intervention for Xing Yan concluded, she quickly resumed her studies successfully and stopped taking medication.
After her recovery, she had completely transformed. The university she attended was far from home, and the course load of her major was substantial, but she managed her studies and life on her own, busy yet unhurried.
Before long, she not only caught up with her grades but also received praise from her homeroom teacher.
