Psychiatric Assessment & Mental Health Consultation

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,…

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.
