Dear fellow expats,
I am in the unfortunate situation of having fallen prey to severe mental problems – I guess they would most likely be qualified as angst psychosis – which are only aggravating. Lately they have lead to an inability to focus on my work for as much as 4 hours a day. I have finally come to the conclusion that I can not go on any further without seeking medical help.
Since it is obvious that I will not just need counseling but also medication my question does not concern a psychologist but a psychiatrist (unless I am mistaken about their respective roles).
My health care does not cover such treatment. Therefore cost is also one issue to be taken into contemplation. I have about 1400 SGD a month of entirely freely disposable income. That said, I would like to cut down costs as I do not have any savings so far.
My questions:
1. Are there any psychiatrists outside the hospitals, as “independent”
