Psychiatric Assessment & Mental Health Consultation

Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, grief, and other mental health conditions. Delivered by a former SGH Head of Psychiatry with FAMS fellowship credentials, providing a hospital-grade assessment in a private clinic setting.

Dr Ng Beng Yeong's psychiatric assessment service brings the clinical rigour of a senior public hospital consultant to a private practice environment. As former Head of Department for Psychiatry at SGH and a Fellow of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS), Dr Ng applies DSM-5 diagnostic frameworks and structured clinical interviewing across the full breadth of adult psychiatric presentations. The initial assessment involves a thorough psychiatric history covering presenting symptoms, onset, duration, severity, medical and family history, psychosocial context, and functional impact on work and relationships. Dr Ng assesses for a wide range of conditions including major depressive disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, grief and bereavement reactions, adjustment disorders, ADHD (in adolescents and adults), and addiction or behavioural issues. Forensic and medico-legal assessments are also available for court-ordered evaluations, personal injury claims, employment-related psychiatric reports, and fitness-for-work assessments — a less commonly offered speciality in private practice that reflects Dr Ng's extensive career at SGH. Psychological assessments including IQ testing and cognitive evaluations are offered, making the clinic suitable for patients who require both a psychiatric diagnosis and a detailed cognitive or psychometric profile. Dr Ng's 20+ years in clinical practice and his academic roles — including co-editing the ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry and serving on the Residency Advisory Committee for Psychiatry — ensure the assessments reflect current evidence-based standards. For adults, young people, and families navigating complex mental health concerns, this clinic provides access to senior-consultant-level expertise without the waiting times of the public healthcare system.
