What a psychiatry clinic treats

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat mental-health conditions. They commonly manage depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma-related conditions, eating disorders, addiction, and sleep problems. Because they are doctors, psychiatrists can prescribe and adjust medication, order investigations, and combine medication with psychotherapy. Many work alongside psychologists and counsellors to provide coordinated care. Consider seeing a psychiatrist when symptoms are severe or persistent, when medication may be needed, when a diagnosis is unclear, or when a GP or therapist recommends specialist assessment.

How to choose a psychiatry clinic in Singapore

  • Check that the doctor is registered with the SMC and listed on the Register of Specialists in psychiatry, as this is a recognised specialty.
  • Consider subspecialty fit, such as child and adolescent, geriatric, addiction or mood disorders.
  • Look for a confidential, non-judgemental setting and coordinated care with psychologists or counsellors where helpful.

Getting there

Private psychiatry clinics commonly sit in the Orchard medical belt (near Orchard MRT) and the Novena health-city belt (near Novena MRT), while subsidised mental-health care is provided at restructured hospitals, the Institute of Mental Health and polyclinics by referral. Check each clinic’s own address, nearest MRT and parking before travelling, and ask about telehealth where appropriate.

Costs and financing

Public psychiatric care accessed by referral is generally subsidised, while private consultations are commonly paid out of pocket. MediSave and MediShield Life may apply to eligible treatment, including certain hospital care, within set limits, though routine outpatient consultations are often paid directly. Some Integrated Shield Plans cover specific psychiatric care. Confirm fees and coverage directly with the clinic.

Common questions

Is my consultation confidential?

Psychiatric care is private and bound by medical confidentiality. Ask the clinic about its policies if you have specific concerns.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

Psychiatrists are doctors who can prescribe medication, while psychologists provide assessment and talking therapies. The two often work together.

Do I need a referral?

You can usually see a private psychiatrist directly, though a referral can help with subsidies in the public system and provides useful background.
