Stress & Burnout Management

Psychiatrist-led assessment and treatment for chronic work stress, burnout, occupational fatigue, and anxiety-related stress responses. Combines clinical psychiatric evaluation with evidence-based psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions from a senior consultant with 20+ years of experience.

Dr Ng Beng Yeong's clinic provides specialist psychiatric care for individuals experiencing significant occupational stress, burnout, or chronic anxiety that has begun to impair daily functioning, work performance, relationships, or physical health. As a senior consultant psychiatrist with 20+ years of practice, Dr Ng distinguishes between stress responses that benefit primarily from psychotherapeutic support and those with underlying clinical presentations — such as generalised anxiety disorder, adjustment disorder, burnout with depressive features, or a mood disorder — that require concurrent psychiatric management. The clinical assessment covers the patient's stress history, symptom profile, work and lifestyle context, relationship factors, sleep quality, and any prior mental health history. Dr Ng takes a structured, evidence-informed approach to diagnosis and formulation, drawing on DSM-5 frameworks to ensure that stress presentations with a significant psychiatric component are appropriately identified and treated — rather than simply labelled as 'life stress' without a proper clinical formulation. Treatment recommendations are personalised and may include individual psychotherapy referral or direct therapeutic input in the consultation, pharmacological support where clinically indicated (anxiolytics, antidepressants, or short-term sleep aids to address the physiological toll of chronic stress), lifestyle and sleep optimisation strategies, and workplace or role adjustments. This clinic is particularly suited to Singapore's high-achieving professional population — executives, healthcare workers, students, and individuals navigating demanding work environments, major life transitions, or prolonged high-stress periods. The forensic and medico-legal capabilities also mean the clinic can provide documented psychiatric assessments where stress-related illness requires formal recognition (e.g. workplace injury claims, medical leave certification, or legal proceedings). With grief and loss counselling, relationship-related stress, and addiction-related services also available within the practice, the clinic provides a comprehensive psychiatric safety net for adults experiencing complex life stress.
