I wanna ask what’s the procedure for consulting psychiatrist at local government hospital?
Hey there,
Recently I was suspecting myself to have anxiety disorder or etc as I have anxiety/panic attacks and hyperventilating quite often. I was planning to look for help with our local government hospital. Can I know what’s the SOP or things needed before consulting? Thanks in advance.

Greetings!
Thank you for your questions. To receive solutions to your problem, we would first need to confirm the diagnosis if it is really an anxiety or other problem before treatment can be given. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest government clinic (klinik kesihatan) first. From there, the doctor will refer your case to the specialist if needed.
However, you may also click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to speak with our doctors online. We assure you that our conversations are kept in confidentiality unless additional consultation needed with other medical parties. Thank you.
