kim then made her way to the landlord's office. as was part of the routine, she would always talk to the house doctor station at the landlord's office before leaving the residency entirely. she had to understand the state of kam's condition and when or if she will ever be cured of the illness.
kam developed agoraphobia some three years ago. an anxiety disorder which often, in serious cases resulted in the fear of crowds. this is a mental disorder which was either rare in asia or possibly under-reported. kam's situation was considered an extreme case. she would actually faint on public transport when the crowds gathered. initially, the doctor diagnosed it as a case of anemia. however, it got worse as time passes. she started fainting out of the blue during the scientific conferences and during lunch hours when she was queuing up for food in the cafeteria.
kam's mum thought she was possessed by some demons and went to several taoist-based temples to look for help from the mediums who were supposed to be able to transcend god's message. she even went to the mediums of the hindus and muslims to seek help in case it was a demon from a different religion group. this might sound exaggerated but it could happen. the diagnosis was always the same. burnt the tailsmen into a cup of clear water and made sure your daughter took three sips of water from the cup. this would only be a temporary relief; it would take a long time for your daughter to recover.
and yes, kam needed time. plenty of it. it was only after she was being passed onto the neuroscience department that a psychiatrist got to assess kam. after six months of observations and psychiatric sessions, a somewhat comprehensive set of data on the illness was collected. that also allowed a treatment protocol to be in place. by that time, kam was already on her way being "relocated" to her current living premises. her condition was only made known to a few people at that time.
