"I went to see Dr Woo to seek remedy for depression and mood swings which had severely affected my concentration. I was taking part time studies and had to repeat my studies because I could not meet the deadlines for the assignments. For years I had struggled with my assignments. Every time I do homework I'll feel like slitting my hands. But I just handed in a 300-page plan without any blood." - Winnie, 19 years old
