Yeo Esther mentioned an anecdote about 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 Chae Neol (CEO) 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 (Hong Hye-geol) was at Jeju Island, I couldn't visit often, so I put the allowance in a safe and left."
Hong Hye-geol said, "I only use that allowance when I need cash. Otherwise, I use cards."

In response, Song Eun asked, "Since you moved into the Seoul house together, is the allowance over now?" Hong Hye-geol quickly replied, "(Yeo Esther's) safe combination number, I know them all," eliciting laughter.
They also discussed depression. Yeo Esther, who had previously opened up about her struggles with depression, smiled and said, "Since last October, thoughts of death have disappeared."
She continued, "I cannot stop negative thoughts. During the early morning hours when depression is at its peak, connections to suicide prevention centers are often not made well. At other times, they provide excellent counseling."

She also revealed, "My eldest son is already married, so I am trying to hold on until my second son gets married. The reason I endure is my sons and employees. As for my husband, if I die, can't he remarry?"
Yeo Esther then added, "I was even hospitalized to receive ECT, which is electroconvulsive therapy. It involves stimulating the brain with electricity after general anesthesia. I underwent treatment 28 times. Perhaps because I received (electroconvulsive therapy) too many times, I lost some memories," expressing regret.
