The following letter was sent from Healer Keira Talbot of St. Mungos to the Professors of Hogwarts School in February 2022, describing the condition of a Christopher J. Findley and remedies for his well-being.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am Healer Talbot of St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. A student of Hogwarts by the name of Christopher J. Findley came to see me today upon the recommendation of my colleague, Healer Ascher.

I have examined young Findley and have deemed that he is in perfect health, and found no reason as to why he collapsed when he did on Thursday the 29th. Young Findley was examined by a muggle "psychologist" earlier, upon the insistence of his muggle mother, Sarah M. Powell. The muggle healer (or Doctor as they are called) deemed that young Findley was currently suffering from the woes of depression and gave his diagnosis and prescription.

Upon further inspection I have to agree with the muggle psychologist, young Findley is listless, suffering from a lack of sleep, undernourished (it's clear the boy hasn't had a square meal in a few days... or more) and mainly apathetic. I am recommending that he'd be administered a mild daily dose of an Elixir to Induce Euphoria, with monitoring of his behavior to ensure progress. I include a recipe of this potion that has been traditionally used for this purpose by healers and I recommend that it is followed. As I understand, he is in his fifth year and all of us who have graduated from Hogwarts know that it is a most stressful year. It is imperative that his mood is kept elevated and his stress at a minimum, less he fall back.

Any questions feel free to write,

Healer Keira S. Talbot

*Included with this letter was a recipe for Elixir to Induce Euphoria: Healer Version. The recipe calls for double the amount of Sopophorous bean and 3/4 the amount of Wormwood from the original. The potion induces a more happy calm than a hallucinogenic effect.*
