Alexio "Pink Diary"

Chapter 26

“Ski—schizophrenia?” both Bisma and Linda were both stunned when they heard the doctor's diagnosis for their son, Alexio Bisma.

Muses.....

“That's my analysis, father and mother. See what the patient showed, leading to there.” Obviously doctor Doni

“But it's not likely to be a doctor either? It could be that Alexio did see another figure, isn't it possible because of the sixth sense for example.” The bisma seemed to negotiate, asking for a diagnosis other than the doctor called Doni earlier.

Hearing the explanation of Bhishma. Doctor Doni put his hand together and smiled. Appreciate that.

“In medical science, when someone sees a ghost or the unreal can be said they imagine, hallucinate, delusional, but there is also in psychology dynamane parapsychology that believes that ghosts exist. Because in medical science, when the patient sees such a thing simply because there is a hallucinating brain reaction and it is difficult to distinguish real and not, as well as errors in his vision.” Start doctor Doni explain.

“But to Alexio, your son did not say it was a ghost, but a friend. He felt that if there was a form, he could even talk, touch, hear, right?” doctor Doni said.

“The case that befell Alexio that refers to the symptoms of Schizophrenia, it could be that it is not an early symptom and then it is already dissolved and severe.” Doctor Doni is getting serious.

“Schizophrenics have difficulty adjusting their minds to reality, like Alexio. She pointed to her imaginary figure as an 11-year-old girl, but what she pointed to was herself.” Doctor Doni

“And most schizophrenics create it because there is trauma or depression to something. And did Alexio ever have that trigger?” ask Dr. Doni.

Bisma and Linda fell silent, staring at each other.

“Maybe the death of his twin doctor.” Reply Bisma hesitated. Because that's the only thing that triggers Alexio to change.

“Alexio twins?” ask Dr. Doni, who is a bisma

“7 years ago, they had an accident and Alexio's twin, Alexia Bisma his name had to die because his endurance was not as strong as Alexio, and when Alexio woke up from his coma, Alexio was, our son turned cold and quiet.” Bisma remembers that moment.

Alexio suddenly changes when he wakes up from his coma.

“Did anything unnatural happen to the death of his twin, Mr Bisma?” doni's doctor looked for a cause with important information on the patient's family.

“Alexia was unable to survive due to complications of her brain, heart and lungs rupturing from a violent collision during an accident, doc.” Obviously Bisma was trying to recall

“Does Alexio know about it?” ask Dr. Doni to start hunting

“No, at that time they got action, Alexia immediately went into a coma while Alexio was aware but not yet fully able to be invited to communication.” Answer Bhishma remembers the past.

FLASHBACKS

“Alexio, Alexio.. can you hear me?” at that time the medical team who handled Alexio who opened his eyes did not get a response from the 11-year-old boy.

Wounds on his head have been bandaged, abrasions on his hands and feet have also been treated. There was nothing serious about him, only, he was suddenly mute and dazed at that moment.

“Nak, Al.” Linda's voice, in a state of teary eyes, the mother of the twins grimaced when she saw her son did not respond.

“Al, you why, can you answer papa, son?” this time it was Bhishma who spoke, who knew her son would respond.

Nil.... Alexio remained silent. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of his room.

Sometimes it grinned, but remained in that position until a few days later, he was in a coma for 3 months. Even his condition was quite draining his parents' energy because Alexio's condition was declining.

FLASHBACK OFF

“So like that doctor.” Obviously Bisma finished telling the story.

“Is there anything else that triggered Alexio to create Xia?” ask Dr. Doni again. He hoped this time to find an important clue.

Both Linda and Bhishma looked back and nodded slowly.

“Our camera has an object that belongs to its twin, doctor.” Linda answered this time.

“His twin object? What is it if I may know , mother?” ask Dr. Doni expectantly.

“Diary. A pink diary.” Linda Sahut

“Is Alexio always taken anywhere?”

“Looks doctor.”

“Alright, I will try to ask Alexio later directly.” Said Doctor Doni.

“And another one..” Dr. Doni continued, he grabbed a black bolpoint on his desk and a small piece of paper.

“This is a prescription for the drug Alexio. We will give gradually to relieve the symptoms of delusions and hallucinations first. This antipsychotic drug does not work immediately and make it heal, because it usually has to wait for a reaction that takes up to 12 weeks.” Dr. Doni explained as he turned the paper to Bisma

“Then the doctor?” ask Linda curious

“Therapy for Alexio stays done. But gradually yes, because these schizophrenics reject our objection saying what he saw was a hallucination. So, if we say for therapy, it's the same as we plunged it even further.” Answer doctor Doni.

“That is, doc?” Linda doesn't understand

“At the moment, what Alexio saw we have to agree with, assume the figure of Xia he created is true. Make himself comfortable with those of us who consider him to be normal. But, as long as it is also we keep giving therapy to him, it is quite difficult for those who are in the early stages, so if Alexio is already in the severe stages then it will be even more difficult.” Obviously doctor Doni.

“Then from that, patients will still be obliged to follow both group and psychosocial therapies. Group therapy will allow people with schizophrenia to sit together so they do not feel isolated. Meanwhile, the purpose of psychosocial therapy so that patients can perform daily activities as usual, despite suffering from schizophrenia.” Doctor Doni explained.

Bisma and Linda were silent, focused on listening, even though their heartbeats seemed to stop. Since hearing the doctor's diagnosis of the state of his son, at that time they already felt his soul was gone, Alexio apparently not okay, even what suffered by his son is not kidding.

Creating an imaginary figure is not normal, and what Alexio faces cannot yet be imagined the possibility is at what level, in the beginning?, a step? Or has it been badly done?

“Is what Alexio is experiencing already in the doctor's serious level?” bisma asked tensely, he clenched his hand, afraid that the doctor's answer would be as per his assumption.

The doctor smiled, trying to help unravel the emotions of the patient's family.

As a psychiatrist, it is also his job to calm the patient's family when the patient's family members are in a terrible stage though.

“We will know there is a stage where Alexio.” Answer doctor Doni.

“Then from that, from now on we have to focus our full attention, make Alexio divert the figure of Alexia, because it is feared, if he depends on that figure, then it is difficult for us to return it as usual.” Doctor Doni's closed the conversation.
