Leon had a confident look on his face as he raised his chin and asked, “Dr. Saunders, do you your experiments?”

Damian remained polite in the face of repeated provocations. “Traditional therapy has been verified for more than 2,000 years. This is its scientific nature.”

Leon shook his head. “I still don’t believe you.” He turned to the host. “Depression should be treated with medicine. Carl is still in school. If he doesn’t use the most effective modern medicine, it will affect his studies and

his whole life.”

“I recommend taking the new antidepressant SSRI to improve serotonin in children’s brains,” Leon added. “If it doesn’t work, we can try electroshock therapy.”

When Leon said “electroshock therapy”, Carl trembled and his face turned pale.

Carl had undergone electroshock therapy once. That terrifying feeling left a huge trauma in him. As a result, he was very resistant to the mention of electroshock therapy.

Carl was about to cry in front of the live broadcast.

A viewer asked: [Is this Dr. Mellow crazy? Doesn’t he know how bad the side effects of electroshock therapy are?]

Another said: [Carl is so young. Instead of psychological counseling and replaceing the cause, Dr. Mellow suggests giving him hormones. Is this the modern medicine he believes in?]

Someone typed furiously: [D**n it. Please put him in his place, Emma. I’m so angry I almost smashed my computer.]

Not far away, Liam from Icovine Estate was also watching all of this in front of the computer.

Unlike the lively commenters, Liam’s focus was on Emma from the start.

Emma was dressed in a black dress today. Her classical elegance carried a touch of modernity. She was beautiful beyond compare.

As expected, at this moment, Emma slowly stood up. She walked down from the guest platform and stood in the middle of the stage.

Emma walked to Carl’s side. She held his hand and said to everyone below the stage, “I object to the method

stated by Dr. Mellow just now.”

The comment section exploded. [Good job. Emma is the best.]

Someone said: (The enemy of an enemy is a friend. I’m a hater turn fan of Emma.]

The popularity of “Legacy of a Healer” was already off the charts at this moment. It quickly rushed to the first place on the Internet. The entire internet was discussing Emma,

Many people who had deliberately come to watch the live broadcast to criticize Emma because of the Otis incident could not help but become her fans.

Emma looked calm. Her gentle tone and the warmth of her palm seemed to give Carl strength.

Carl calmed down and looked at Emma with teary eyes.

Emma said, “Depression is a common m**l illness in modern times. When people around us show depressive tendencies, we should give them more care. Especially for the minors, we must replace the cause of the problems

from their parents.

“Of course, taking medicine is also effective. However, using the new antidepressant SSRI, as Dr. Mellow stated, to change the secretion of hormones in the brain will have a huge side effect on the growth and development of

adolescents.

“Furthermore, it’s only a temporary solution. For moderately depressed children. I recommend conservative

treatment.

When Leon heard Emma rebutting him, he immediately became angry. “I wonder what your education level is, Miss Wilson? Modern psychotropic drugs are very effective, and the side effects are already very minimal. May I ask if you’re a professional doctor? Have you graduated from university?”

Emma looked at Leon coldly and asked, “You said the side effects of these medicines are very minimal. Have you taken them yourself?”

Leon burst out, “I’m not sick. Why should I take the medicine? Do I have to suffer from depression to treat patients?”

When Leon said this, the audience was disgusted. Leon’s arrogance was simply repulsive.

Emma said mockingly, “Although practicing medicine doesn’t require one to experience it, the most important thing when treating a depressed patient is to have empathy, If even professional doctors can’t empathize with their patients, who else will listen to how the patient feels?”

Emma turned to Carl. “Carl, tell me. Are you very against taking medicine and electroshock therapy?”

When Emma finished speaking, Carl’s tears fell. “Emma, I don’t want to take medicine anymore. Those medicines worsen my memory. I often remember things and forget them quickly. If I don’t do well in the exams, I’ll be mocked by my classmates… And every time I take medicine at night, I’ll be very sleepy during the day. I can’t help but fall asleep in class…

“The teachers and Mom all think I’m depressed and can’t pay attention in class, but actually, those medicines. make me listless. No matter what I say, they don’t believe me. They only think that I’m being depressed. The electroshock therapy was horrible. I told Mom I didn’t want to go but she tied me up…”

By this time, a lot of the audience’s hearts were aching from Carl’s recount.

A viewer remarked: [Dr. Mellow didn’t even try to understand Carl’s experiences and directly advised electroshock therapy. This is very irresponsible.]

Another said: [Dr. Mellow, did you see that? Your carelessness will destroy a child.]

A third added: [The patient is not a doctor’s test subject. I object to Dr. Mellow.]

The netizens were in an uproar.

On the television, Emma held the little boy’s hand and felt a deep sense of pity. She bent down and gently stroked his head. “I promise you, I won’t send you to electroshock therapy.”

Carl asked meekly and humbly, “Really?”

“Yes,” Emma said. “I’ll prescribe you medicine that won’t worsen your memory and make you sleepy during the day. But the new medicine might be very bitter. Moreover, you have to promise me something, okay?”

“As long as you don’t electrocute me, I’ll do anything,” Carl said.

Emma smiled gently and led Carl to Damian. “Dr. Saunders, Carl is a good kid. You’re the leading expert in the field of traditional therapy. I’ll leave the prescription to you.”

Damian stroked his white beard and nodded at Emma in approval. His eyes were filled with gratification. “Sure, of

course.”

Damian stated, “Traditional therapy is blessed to have someone young like you. Its future is promising.”

will slowly Emma smiled and said to Carl, “Dr. Saunders is excellent. Take the medicine he prescribed and you recover. But you must promise to go to bed early, wake up early, and eat well. And you have to run outdoors for an hour every day. Can you do that?”

Carl nodded. “I can do it.” He asked cautiously, “But Emma, if I persist in running, I don’t have to continue with the electroshock treatment?”

Emma nodded seriously. She explained to the camera, “A lot of people don’t know that exercise is an effective treatment for depression.

“Physiological studies have shown that exercise can dispel hormones, glucose, and grease released in depression. Not only that, exercise can enhance the adrenal medulla’s ability to secrete catecholamines and release a brain chemical called ‘beta-endorphin’

“This substance can improve the high regulatory ability of the human central nervous system and increase the body’s tolerance for harmful stimuli. It can calm and make people feel happy…”

Emma’s serious explanation immediately charmed millions of viewers.
