Confirm diagnosis of Cheerlessness
Symptoms: absence of smile
Gloomy appearance
Slow heart
Feeling of no purpose
Decreased appetite for life
Often with no particular cause
⬇
After diagnosis confirmed,
Start oral dose chocolate stat, as much as patient needs,
Monitor patient's mood every half hour
⬇
If patient's condition not responding to chocolate,treat case as serious
⬇
Next line of treatment is music therapy.
Provide earphones to patient, play 'Can't Stop The Feeling' or 'Cake By The Ocean ' non-stop for one whole hour and observe response.
⬇
If patient's condition still not improving, stop music therapy
⬇
Next step is to encourage patient to take a long nap. If patient unable to fall asleep on her own, provide any medicine related textbook to patient and ask to read. Sleep guaranteed by 5 minutes.
⬇
If this also doesn't work, give cell phone to patient, and ask her to call her best friend. Advise heart to heart talk for about 2 hours.
WhatsApp contraindicated.
Then if this doesn't work, next call goes to mom or dad. Repeat heart to heart.
⬇
If the above step also doesn't produce results, the only treatment left is a looooooong break from everything.
Advise patient to take a long trip somewhere, with friends or family. This is foolproof.
⬇
Follow up of patient is very important.
⬇
Prophylaxis against Cheerlessness is given in the form of inculcating a new hobby like, learning a new language, music lessons, reading, joining Wattpad, cooking etc.
