Mental Health Assessment
Good evening, Dr. May I know if there is any way we can do mental health assessment during movement control order?

Thank you for your question
Are you thinking about seeking the help of a therapist? If certain issues have been causing problems in your life and you aren’t sure how to make the necessary changes, therapy can help. With the help of a professional, you can get out of an unhealthy cognitive, emotional, and behavioral pattern.
Different professionals and agencies provide a range of services, which means your initial assessment may involve one or more professionals. During an assessment, the following points will be considered (where relevant):
- your mental health symptoms and experiences
- your feelings, thoughts and actions
- your physical health and wellbeing
- your housing and financial circumstances
- your employment and training needs
- your social and family relationships
- your culture and ethnic background
- your gender and sexuality
- your use of drugs or alcohol
- past experiences, especially of similar problems
- issues relevant to your or others’ safety
- whether there’s anyone who depends on you, such as a child or elderly relative
- your strengths and skills, and what helps you best
- your hopes and aspirations for the future
