Yeo Esther mentioned the anecdote of receiving electroconvulsive therapy to alleviate symptoms of depression.
On the 1st, Yeo Esther, a medical doctor who became a CEO with annual sales of 300 billion won, and her husband Hong Hye-geol, a medical expert with 2.03 million subscribers, appeared on KBS 2TV's variety program "Problem Children in the Attic."
That day, Yeo Esther revealed, "I give Hong Hye-geol an allowance for one year in cash. Since he was at Jeju Island, I couldn't visit often, so I put the allowance in a safe and left it there."
Hong Hye-geol said, "I only use that allowance when I need cash. Otherwise, I use cards."

Upon this, Song Eun asked, "Since you've moved into the Seoul house together, is the allowance over now?" Hong Hye-geol quickly replied, "I know all of Yeo Esther's safe combinations," eliciting laughter.
They also discussed depression. Yeo Esther, who had previously opened up about her struggles with depression, smiled and said, "Since last October, I no longer have thoughts of death."
She continued, "I can't stop negative thoughts. During the early morning hours when depression peaks, connections to suicide prevention centers often fail. However, at other times, they provide excellent counseling."

She further shared, "My eldest son is already married, so I'm trying to hold on until my second son gets married. The reason I endure is because of my sons and employees. As for my husband, if I die, he can remarry."
Yeo Esther then added, "I was even hospitalized to receive ECT, or electroconvulsive therapy. It involves stimulating the brain with electricity after general anesthesia. I underwent treatment 28 times. Perhaps because I received so much of it, I have lost some memories," expressing regret.
