Patient's question:
After entering university, I often doubted my health, and now I think I have strabismus because I am studying medicine and am afraid it will affect my future work.Doctor's answer:
Hello, medical students are more prone to hypochondriac neurosis due to the influence of their surrounding environment and academic pressure, especially in the early stages of medical studies. Before treating this condition, psychological therapy is usually the first approach to help regulate it. The doctor will, based on the patient's confessions, guide the patient to understand that the essence of their illness is not a physical disease but a psychological disorder, on the premise of gaining the patient's trust. While acknowledging and accepting that the patient indeed experiences significant physical discomfort, the doctor should provide a scientific and reasonable explanation of the nature of the disease, avoiding getting entangled in discussing the symptoms themselves.It is recommended to face the knowledge one has learned and the people one serves with correctness and objectivity.
