Gratitude to the Dharma protectors!
My deepest gratitude to the selfless and altruistic Master Jun Hong Lu!
Today, to save all sentient beings, I will learn from the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva to spread Dharma. I will convince sentient beings to practice Buddhism using my experiences. May Guan Yin Bodhisattva bless me and help me turn my propagation into merits and virtues.
Hello, everyone. I am Dharma Practitioner Xue. Today, with a heart full of immense gratitude, I share my experience with you. Five Golden Buddhist Practices cured my son’s severe depression and anxiety
I have a happy family. When my son was four years old, we finally ended our long-distance relationship and I moved to Beijing. My son was an outgoing, lively, and cheerful boy from a young age. He quickly adapted to the studies and life here and always performed well academically. With a background in education, I placed great importance on my child’s upbringing. Although my husband was busy with work, he was very family-oriented.
In May 2023, our blissful life was abruptly disrupted. When my son was in the second year of middle school, I noticed that he would shout over minor issues and no longer had the stable emotions he used to have. I initially thought it was due to adolescence and the pressure of upcoming exams. I had many heart-to-heart talks with him and offered timely guidance. However, he told me that his grades were plummeting. He cried, saying he couldn’t sleep at night and couldn’t concentrate in class. Only then did I realize the seriousness of the problem.
The next day, I took him to the hospital. The diagnosis was severe depression and anxiety. I couldn’t believe it. I had only read about such illnesses in newspapers and thought they were far from us because my child had always been a positive and sunny boy.
At that time, he was just 13 years old. I knew it was his karmic obstacles manifesting. I quickly found Master Lu’s related books and let my son read them. Depression stems from lack of virtue in previous lives, committing significant wrongdoings, or owing others, leading to karmic creditors coming to collect debts in this life [Note 1]. I comforted him by saying, “Don’t worry, Guan Yin Bodhisattva will save you. We will also take the medication prescribed by the doctor.”
Here, I deeply repent. I encountered the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door years ago but never deeply understood it. I naively thought that reciting Little Houses to ascend my miscarried child(ren) was enough. I felt everything was fine at the moment, with an excellent child, a successful career, and a happy family. I was content but didn’t consider potential dangers.
Master Lu has taught us that we should practice Buddhism more diligently when everything is good. If we wait until things get bad, it might be too late. I hurriedly prayed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva and vowed:
1. Eat vegetarian meals on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month;
2. Release 10,000 fish;
3. Recite 500 Little Houses for my son’s karmic creditors.
I consistently did daily recitations for my son, which included 21 times the Great Compassion Mantra, 21 times the Heart Sutra, 49 times the Mantra to Untie Karmic Knots, and 3 times the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance.
In June 2023, my son had nightly episodes, sweating profusely from his legs, severe head pain like tearing, and convulsions. After the episodes, he couldn’t get out of bed for ten minutes without help. He was weak and in great pain, sometimes losing consciousness. The doctor suggested checking for epilepsy, but the results were negative, and such symptoms were not typical of depression either! One time, during a severe episode, he even choked his father. These episodes usually happened around 11 PM or midnight. Witnessing our child in this state was like living in hell.
When he was lucid, he told me, “Mom, there’s a spirit in my body. Please find someone to help me ascend it.” I couldn’t recite so many Little Houses alone, so I reached out to my husband’s aunt, Dharma Practitioner Lü. She was heartbroken upon hearing our situation and agreed to give us 51 recited Little Houses, urging us to quickly set up a Buddhist altar.
After reciting about 70 Little Houses, he stopped having episodes at night. However, he still couldn’t sleep well, often staying awake until one, two, or even three in the morning. In my haste to save my son, I neglected my own karmic creditors, leading to my own lack of energy and carrying his karmic obstacles.
One night, after not sleeping, I felt extremely uncomfortable and filled with negative energy the next morning. I felt so overwhelmed that I wanted to die. Struggling with my rational thoughts, I prayed in front of our small Buddhist altar, explaining my family’s situation to Guan Yin Bodhisattva and asking for compassion. I admitted that I was new to the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door and that my eagerness to save my son had led me to bear his karma. I prayed for Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s mercy, saying that if I collapsed and couldn’t recite Little Houses, my son would be left without help. I vowed that if my son recovered, I would share my experience and help others. After my prayer, I felt better. Our great Guan Yin Bodhisattva is truly compassionate!
When Practitioner Lü burned the 11th Little House for my son’s karmic creditor, he had another episode that night. We later found out it was because the quality of the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra in the Little House was poor. Lü also repented to Guan Yin Bodhisattva. Here, I remind all practitioners to ensure the quality of our recitations. Do it with the best quality, preferably reciting ourselves.
After this, my son improved month by month. In early August 2023, I set up a large Buddhist altar. Before doing so, I recited 40 Little Houses for the house’s karmic creditors, with help from Practitioner Lü. I am deeply grateful to the Buddhist altar team for their immense help. During this time, my son was still not well, and I understood the karmic creditors were unhappy about us inviting Bodhisattvas home. My son even told me he had an urge to destroy the altar, which was the influence of his karmic creditor.
In late August, I arranged for him to take a break from school. He initially resisted but eventually agreed. In September, he started taking art and math classes weekly and did well. In late October, he had some relapses, but not as severe as in June.
His father was worried. I told him not to worry; it was because we hadn’t recited enough Little Houses. I encouraged my son to gradually start doing his own daily recitations. He said he felt too agitated to recite, so I continued to race against time, reading Master Lu’s teachings and studying Buddhism in Plain Terms, reading at least one article daily. I managed to increase the number of Little Houses I recited daily from five to six, then to seven or seven and a half.
Due to his recurring illness, he couldn’t continue his math classes and would overeat at night. I knew it was his karmic creditors indulging through him. By the Winter Solstice, his karmic creditors possessed him and tried to speak with me. I didn’t dare communicate directly with the spirit. However, the spirit threatened to make my son injure his arms with a utility knife if I did not communicate with it.
I prayed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, asking for insight into the cause of this karmic entanglement. We later learned that in his past life, my son had harmed the karmic creditor for personal gain. His father also owed debts to the karmic creditor, having taken his gold bars. My son dreamt of these incidents, even knowing the creditor’s name and gender. The creditor is male.
That night, the creditor spoke through my son, demanding 1,000 Little Houses. It acknowledged having received the 400 Little Houses I had already recited and noted their good quality. Without them, my son would have already jumped from a high building to death. It thanked me for helping him ascend but reminded me that the debt was owed by my husband and son. I apologized instead of them and vowed to continue repenting and reciting. The creditor further demanded 50,000 CNY to resolve the matter, warning of dire consequences otherwise. I asked if there was another way to solve the problem, and it said no. My son fell unconscious after the conversation.
We were terrified after learning the truth and filled with anxiety. We knew we couldn’t contend with spirit. It could easily harm my son. He had previously fallen twice inexplicably while cycling. We had no choice but to repent, recite Buddhist scriptures, and release fish. We even consulted fellow practitioners at 2OR Australia Oriental Radio since we had never encountered such a situation before. We ended up spending over 60,000 CNY on clothes and shoes as requested by the creditor.
I feel very ashamed that it was until December 28th that I made a vow to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to become a lifelong vegetarian. On New Year’s Eve, my whole family offered incense together. I made a vow to recite another 500 Little Houses for my son’s creditors by September 1st, but I actually finished reciting them by May 27th. Every day, I recited the Great Compassion Mantra 21 times, the Heart Sutra 49 times, and the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance 3 times for my son. I also released 1,200 fish for him. The difficult New Year period was finally over by the Lantern Festival. In March 2024, I personally went to the countryside to release life with my fellow practitioners, feeling that doing it myself was more effective.
Later, I saw Master’s instructions and realized that what the spirit said didn’t count. It was indeed the case. Since the Winter Solstice, the spirit in my child kept asking for expensive items. We spent nearly 100,000 CNY. If we didn’t buy them, the child would have headaches and cut himself with a knife. My husband lost patience and wanted to confront the spirit directly, refusing to cooperate with the karmic creditor and buy the expensive items. I stopped him.
Since the twelfth lunar month, my husband also started doing daily recitations and helping to recite Little Houses for our child’s karmic creditor. So, the three of us offered incense and repented to Bodhisattva, explaining the whole situation and asking for compassion. The Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva helped us again. Since then, the spirit no longer demanded that we buy things.
When we had recited 971 Little Houses for our child’s karmic creditor, he had a restless night and couldn’t sleep. At 6:30 in the morning, he came to my room and told me that the spirit was urging him to die and cut his arm. However, he could control himself and didn’t harm himself. We realized that the daily recitations we conducted for him was working.
Since making the vow to become a lifelong vegetarian, Bodhisattva has given me a lot of blessings. I am full of energy every day, and my health is better than before. I sleep at 11 PM and get up at 5:30 AM to recite. Sometimes I am able to recite nearly 8 Little Houses a day. In early April, I dreamed of Master Lu in a black suit, and in my mind, He was going to read my Totem. I am grateful for the blessings from my selfless Master.
By the morning of May 28th, all 1,000 Little Houses were completed. I will continue to recite more Little Houses for his karmic creditors and cannot stop abruptly. His sleep has greatly improved and he is no longer in pain. He goes to six guitar lessons each week on his own and goes swimming by himself. Gradually, he even wants to go back to school.
Human form is difficult to obtain, and encountering the Dharma is even more rare. Let us cherish this extraordinary Dharma Door we have encountered in this life. Making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, releasing life, and striving to accumulate merits and virtues all depend on our diligence. Our physical life and spiritual well-being rely on the protection of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. I hope every practitioner can pass on our Dharma Door to their children. Don’t neglect this important task due to busy work or studies. Learn a little every day, and over time, it will accumulate like a tower built of sand. In this impermanent world, only Guan Yin Bodhisattva is our greatest refuge. We cannot accompany our children for a lifetime, but the Dharma can, and Bodhisattva can protect them for life, provided that parents guide their children to learn Buddhism.
Throughout this year of blood and tears, I always remembered one of Master Lu’s words: No matter how complicated your situation is, keep reciting! This sentence encouraged me to keep moving forward. I am grateful to every fellow practitioner who helped me. I bear my own karma and do not let fellow practitioners bear it. We must cherish time, diligently recite Buddhist scriptures, and race against impermanence.

Note 1. Q&A113. Regarding the issue of reciting Buddhist scriptures for mental illnesses – “Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door Buddhism Q&A No. 113” 2011-07-16
Question 113: I have depression and often get stuck in negative thoughts, find it hard to sleep, and feel restless. What should I do?
Answer 113: All mental illnesses, such as depression, epilepsy, and psychosis, are karmic and spiritual illnesses. These illnesses stem from one’s karmic debts and spirits from previous lives. If significant negative karma was created in previous lives, one’s karmic creditors will come to collect their debts in this life, causing such illnesses. This results in feelings of agitation and an inability to control one’s emotions and willpower, as spirits can influence these aspects.
Understanding the cause of your illness, you must repent and diligently recite scriptures to eliminate karma and repay debts. The principle of cause and effect is real and unchanging. There is no need to complain or blame anyone, but recognize that it is due to the lack of virtue and harm done to others in previous lives that you are experiencing this retribution in the present life. Therefore, you should sincerely repent and eliminate negative karma, and earnestly repay your debts by helping the current karmic creditors. Once the karma is eliminated and the debts are repaid, you will naturally recover.
You need to recite the following Buddhist scriptures:
– The Great Compassion Mantra at least 7 times a day, praying for “the Greatly Compassionate and Greatly Merciful Guan Yin Bodhisattva to bless me [name], to be healthy and increase merits and virtues.”
– The Heart Sutra 21 times a day, praying for “the Greatly Compassionate and Greatly Merciful Guan Yin Bodhisattva to bless me [name], to attain to wisdom and heal my depression or mental illness.”
– The Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance 5 times a day, praying for “the Greatly Compassionate and Greatly Merciful Guan Yin Bodhisattva to bless me [name], to repent and eliminate the negative karma causing my depression or mental illness, and to heal my illness.”
In addition, recite at least 3 Little Houses per week. Generally, such illnesses are caused by significant negative karma, so start with 21 Little Houses, and then add another 21 based on the condition, continuing until recovery.
Along with reciting Buddhist scriptures, making big vows and releasing animals will further help in treating depression.

运用五大法宝救了重度抑郁症和焦虑症的儿子
感恩南无释迦摩尼佛！感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨摩诃萨！感恩十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法菩萨！感恩弘法度众舍身忘我的恩师卢军宏台长！
请大慈大悲观世音菩萨保佑，我今天为了度众生，学习观世音菩萨千手千眼救度众生，所以我现身说法请观世音菩萨给我加持，保佑我能够把今天这个弘法转为功德。大家好，我是薛同修，今天我怀着无比感恩的心情和大家分享。题目是：运用五大法宝救了重度抑郁症和焦虑症的儿子
我有一个幸福的家庭，在儿子四岁的时候，终于结束了两地分居搬来北京。儿子从小就是一个外向、活泼开朗的男孩，很快就适应了这里的学习和生活，并且学习成绩一直很好。我是教育专业出身，对孩子的培养很重视。我先生虽然工作忙，但挺顾家的。
2023年5月，美好的幸福生活被突如其来的变故打破了。儿子初二时，我发现他有一点小事就会大呼小叫，没有了以前的稳定情绪。本以为是孩子的青春期造成的，加上快考试了，孩子有压力。我找孩子谈心了好多次，并及时进行了开导。但是，孩子告诉我，他的学习成绩直线下降，哭着说晚上睡不着，上课注意力集中不了。我这才意识到问题的严重性。
第二天，我带孩子去了医院，检查结果是重度的抑郁症和焦虑症【备注1】！真的不敢相信，这种病症只是在报刊上看到过，总觉得离我们很远，因为孩子平日里是积极阳光的一个男孩！
当时他正值13周岁。我知道这是他的业障爆发了。赶紧找师父的相关书籍开示给孩子看。抑郁症都是前世的不积德，做了很大的错事，或者是欠了人家的，导致今世要经者前来讨债。我开导他说你放心，观世音菩萨会救你的，医生开的药，我们也好好吃。在这里，我深深的忏悔，其实我前些年就遇到了心灵法门，只是一直没有深入地去了解学习。自以为用经文组合的方法超度完身上流产的孩子后就万事大吉了。觉得当下一切都很好，孩子优秀，工作顺利，家庭幸福，居安但没有思危。
师父开示过我们越是好的时候越要好好修，等到不好的时候，可能就很糟糕了。临时抱佛脚的我向观世音菩萨许愿：初一十五吃素，放生一万条鱼，帮孩子的要经者念500张经文组合。坚持每天给孩子做功课，孩子的功课是21遍《大悲咒》，21遍《心经》，49遍《解结咒》，3遍《礼佛大忏悔文》。
2023年6月，孩子基本每天晚上都发病，腿上出虚汗，头像撕裂一样疼、抽搐。发完病10几分钟下不来床，得有人扶着。孩子浑身没劲，很痛苦，意识有时也不清醒。医生说要检查一下是不是癫痫。检查结果也不是，但抑郁症也没有这些症状啊！有一回，严重到晚上发病时掐他爸脖子。孩子一般都是晚上11点、12点发病。看到孩子这样我们像生活在地狱里痛不欲生。
孩子清醒以后对我说：“妈妈，有个灵性在我身体里，你快找人帮我超度吧。”我一下子念不出来那么多，就找到我先生的舅妈，也就是吕师兄。吕师兄听我说后也很心痛，答应结缘51张组合给我，并且催促我赶紧设佛台。
当我念到70几张的时候，孩子晚上不再发病了。只是他晚上睡不着觉，每次睡得都很晚，得熬到凌晨一两点或者是两三点才能睡。由于救孩子心切，我没给我自己的要经者念，导致我自己没有能量，还背业了。
有天晚上，我一夜没睡，早上起来米水不进，心里特别难受，全是负能量，见到人就烦躁，一心想死，活不下去了。我拼命地用理智压制自己的想法。我在小佛台前，给观世音菩萨上香，说了一下我家里的情况。请观世音菩萨慈悲，我刚学习心灵法门不久。因为救孩子心切，导致我为他背业了。请观世音菩萨慈悲我，我如果倒下念不动经文组合，儿子就没人救了。我向菩萨许愿：孩子好了我一定现身说法，多度有缘众生，求菩萨消除一下我身上背的这个业障。香烧完了，我也恢复了正常。我们伟大的观世音菩萨太慈悲了！
吕师兄念给儿子要经者的组合烧到第11张的时候，儿子当晚又发病了。后来才知道，原来是组合中的《往生咒》念的质量不好。吕师兄也向观世音菩萨忏悔了。所以，在此也提醒所有的师兄们，一定要注意我们念的经文质量，一定要保质保量，尽量自己念。
此后，孩子一个月比一个月好了。2023年8月上旬我设立了大佛台。请佛台之前，我为房子的要经者念了40张经文组合，吕师兄也帮忙念了一部分。非常感恩佛台组的师兄，给我了很大帮助。设佛台那段时间孩子也不好，我知道要经者不开心我们请菩萨来。孩子有次还告诉我他有打砸佛台的冲动！都是身上的要经者在控制他！
8月底的时候我给孩子办了休学。这之前他不同意休学，一直钻牛角尖。9月份，孩子开始学美术课，每周两节，一节数学课，都挺好的。10月底的时候孩子有些反复，但没有6月份那么严重。
他爸爸挺担心的。我说你不用紧张，这都是经文数量不够啊！我做孩子工作让他自己也慢慢念功课。他说念不了经文，一念就很烦躁。我只能每天跟时间赛跑，看师父的开示，学习《白话佛法》，每天至少看一篇。组合由一天五张、六张，直到能每天念七张、七张半。
由于他病情一直反复，数学课也上不了了。一到晚上他就大吃大喝。我知道都是要经者在他身上吃喝，在他身上享受。直到冬至的时候，要经者附在孩子身上，找我说话。我不敢跟他沟通，但不沟通他就控制孩子用壁纸刀划伤自己的胳膊。
我赶紧上香跟观世音菩萨说，求菩萨点化，到底是怎样的冤结导致这一切。后来，我们才知道原来孩子前世为了自己的利益把人家给害了。然后，孩子他爸也欠人家的，顺走了人家的金条。这些都是孩子在梦中梦到的，要经者叫什么名字也都知道了，是个男的。那天晚上，要经者就附在孩子身上跟我说话。孩子自己开不了口，但我们的聊天孩子都知道。要经者告诉我他要1000张经文组合。我念的400多张，他已经收到了，质量还可以。如果没有这400多张组合孩子早就跳楼下去了！他很感谢我超度他。他还告诉我这件事跟我没关系，是他爷俩欠的！我赶紧说，我们忏悔，我代他俩跟你道歉。孩子身上的要经者让我们准备五万块钱，让我们破财消灾，已经便宜我们了。如果不花钱我们就等着瞧。我问还有没有其他解决的方式？他说没有。说完孩子就又昏过去了。
醒来后知道了事情的真相，我们很害怕，忐忑不安。我们斗不过灵性的。要经者动点手脚就够孩子受的。之前有几次孩子骑车出门，莫名其妙地摔了两跤。现在只有好好忏悔，念经放生许愿。也跟东方台的师兄沟通过，从来没遇到这种事情！无缘不来无债不来，诸恶莫作众善奉行。按照灵性说的，去买了衣服鞋子花了6万多。
很惭愧，12月28日我才跟观世音菩萨许愿终生吃全素，大年三十全家一起上头香，许愿第二个500张，（许愿在9月1日前完成，但是我在5月27日就完成了）。每天给孩子功课念21遍《大悲咒》，49遍《心经》，3遍《礼佛大忏悔文》。给孩子放生1200条鱼，一直到正月十五，年关很艰难地过来了。2024年3月，我跟师兄们亲自去郊外放生，觉得还是自己亲力亲为更好。
后来看到师父的开示知道灵性说话都不算数的，确实是这样。从冬至开始孩子身上的灵性跟我们反复要昂贵的衣物。我们花了将近10万，不买就让孩子头疼，拿刀划自己。我家先生没耐心了要跟他鱼死网破，（先生不配合要经者，不答应要买昂贵的衣物的。）被我拦下。
从腊月开始，他爸也在家帮孩子的要经者念小房子，做功课。于是我们三人上香跟菩萨忏悔，说这件事儿原委，请菩萨慈悲！大慈大悲的观世音菩萨又帮助了我们。此后，灵性再没提要我们买东西。
我们念到971张的时候，孩子一晚上难受没睡。早上6点半，他到我房间告诉我，灵性让他去死，让他划胳膊。但是孩子能控制住不去做伤害自己的事情了。我们知道给孩子念经文组合起作用了。
自从发愿终生吃全素，菩萨给了我很多加持，每天精力很好，身体比以前还要健康。晚上11点睡，早上5点半起来念，每天都精力充沛，有的时候能念近8张经文组合。4月初，我梦到师父还是一套黑色西装，意念中要给我看图腾。感恩无我利他的师父给我加持。
5月28日上午1000张全部完成。后面还会继续给他念的，不能马上停掉！孩子睡眠也改善了很多，不难受了。每周自己去上6节吉他课，孩子独自去游泳。慢慢地孩子也想去上学了。
人身难得佛法难闻，今生遇到这么的殊胜法门我们好好珍惜吧。许愿念经放生拼命做功德，要靠自己精进，靠观世音菩萨才能保护我们的身体和慧命。希望每位师兄都能把我们的法门传承给我们的孩子，不要因为工作忙，学习紧张而忽视这个问题。每天学习一点，时间长了就积沙成塔。在无常的人间，唯有观世音菩萨才是我们最大的靠山。孩子，我们不可能陪伴一辈子，可是佛法可以，菩萨可以庇佑孩子一辈子，但前提是父母要引导孩子去学佛。
血泪史的一年，我始终记住了师父的一句话：无论你们情况多么复杂，坚持念经！是这样一句话，鼓励我一直前进。感恩帮助过我的每位师兄，我自己的业障自己背，不让师兄们背。我们大家要珍惜时间，精进念经与无常赛跑。
再次感恩南无释迦牟尼佛！感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨摩诃萨！感恩十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法菩萨！感恩弘法度众舍身忘我的恩师慈父卢军宏师父！
分享过程中如有不如理不如法之处，请南无释迦牟尼佛慈悲原谅！请南无大慈大悲观世音菩萨慈悲原谅！请十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法菩萨慈悲原谅！请恩师慈父卢军宏师父慈悲原谅！
请师兄们批评指正！我自己的业障自己背，不让师兄们背！分享人：薛同修 感恩合十

【备注1】113、关于精神类疾病念经的问题——《心灵法门佛学问答一百一十三》2011-07-16
问113：我得了抑郁症，经常钻牛角尖、难以安睡、烦躁不安，到底该怎么办？
答113：凡是精神方面的疾病，比如抑郁、癫痫、精神病等都属于孽障灵性病。
这种疾病均是源于自己往世的孽障和灵性所致。往世做过较大的孽障，此生要经者前来讨债，自己就会因此受报。表现方式就是自己狂躁不安，甚至不能控制和左右自己的情绪和意志，因为灵性都可以控制这些。
知道自己的病因以后，就要有忏悔心好好念经消孽还债。所谓因果报应真实不虚，自己无需抱怨什么，怪只怪自己往世不积德，做了很多对不起别人的事情，此生才会有此果报。所以要发忏悔心，好好忏悔和消除孽障，并且诚心还债，超度自己现在的要经者。孽障消除、债务还清以后，自己自然会恢复正常。
需要读如下经文：
《大悲咒》每天7遍及以上，“求大慈大悲观世音菩萨保佑我某某身体健康，增强功德。”
《心经》每天21遍，“求大慈大悲观世音菩萨保佑我某某开智慧，治疗我的抑郁症或者精神病。”
《礼佛大忏悔文》每天5遍，“求大慈大悲观世音菩萨保佑我某某忏悔和消除导致我有抑郁症或者精神病的孽障，治疗我的某某病。”
小房子每周3张以上，一般这种病都是较大孽障所致，先读21张，然后根据病情再21张21张地往上加，直到痊愈为止。
念经的同时配合许大愿，多放生，会更好医治抑郁症。
