Jin lived in a rented out apartment near the hospital. To make himself more independent he had moved out of his uncle's house.

Currently ,Jin grabbed his black folder and then walked out of his  house after making sure that all the lights and gas were switched off.

He was extremely excited and nervous at the same time.Last night,he had gone over all his books on psychological disorders which could be related to the patients based on the symptoms they had written on their documents.He didn't get a wink of sleep last night but if anyone  saw him now that person might think that the guy was high on sugar such was his vigor.

Jin opened the door of his car and drove over to the hospital.

______________________________________

Jin went and sat in the office.The first patient is Suzy. No last name because she has no parents.
She is 19.A legal adult.last year of high school
Issue - Depression
Jin went over this information in his mind.Though Jin knew this information,he was going to pretend to know nothing about the patient.

Though names might seem useless apart from identifying a person. Names usually play an important role in shaping a person's nature,behaviour etc.Names give a identification to a person which includes expectations, disappointments and other emotions.So not knowing a person's name gives that  person the feeling that the other person knows nothing about them and won't judge them or have any expectations.And most of the people would want that comfort before talking to their psychiatrists amidst the uncomfortablity of a new location and practically a stranger infront of whom  they probably have to share their secrets if necessary.
So Jin will pretend not to know even the name of the patient.
The patient is a youth meaning they are very cautious of what the society says about them and at the same time they want to defy it.
Considering this patient has depression,the depression might as well have been started by the society's expectations.Most of the youth face depression due to the pressure on them.Secondly,the patient is an orphan,she might be bullied for this reason as well.

A nurse knocks at the door ,Jin opens the door.
The patient walks inside. Jin gives a slight smile and his expression was  serene and calm that said you can trust me.
Jin sits down in his chair and asks the patient to sit infront of him. She was wearing a full sleeve sweater and jeans.

The room was a dull white and the equipments as well as the furniture were sky blue with a little variation of colours in some parts.This gave the room a peaceful,calm and a comforting homely vibe.

Jin asks,"what is your name?"
The patient replies,"Suzy"

The patient was appearing to be relaxing a bit.

Then Jin asks," your age?"
Suzy replies "19"

Then Jin asks information such as phone no,address,high school name .

Jin already had this information.He asks because it gives the patient time to process her environment and get comfortable.

The patient appears to be calm though Jin noticed that her fingers were twisting and intertwining against each other.She was nervous.

Then ,Jin takes her wrist and measures the pulse,the pulse was quicker than normal .Jin also notices that there are cuts and scratches on the wrists.
Then Jin asked,"Do you have any parents?"

Suzy replies,"No,I am an orphan"
Jin who was measuring the pulse felt that the pulse grew even  quicker. His guess was correct then.

She has anxiety as well. The patient is lying Jin knows that.

But Jin doesn't pry further into the matter and moves onto the next question ,"  Why do you feel like you have depression?"

Silence.
