Psychiatric & Psychological Assessment

Comprehensive psychiatric and psychological evaluation for mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and personality disorders. Conducted by specialist consultant psychiatrists and doctoral-level clinical psychologists with full diagnostic report and treatment recommendations.

Promises Healthcare offers thorough psychiatric and psychological assessments for individuals presenting with a wide range of mental health concerns. The clinic's assessment service draws on both its consultant psychiatrists — who apply DSM-5 and ICD-11 diagnostic frameworks to provide a medical diagnosis where applicable — and its clinical psychologists, who administer validated, standardised psychometric instruments to quantify symptom severity, cognitive functioning, and personality structure. Assessments are initiated with a comprehensive clinical interview covering presenting concerns, psychiatric and medical history, family history, developmental background, and psychosocial context. Depending on the referral question and clinical presentation, the assessment may incorporate standardised questionnaires and scales (e.g. PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, BAI, BDI), cognitive and neuropsychological tests, ADHD-specific evaluations (e.g. CAARS, DIVA 2.0 interview), autism spectrum assessments, or full psychometric batteries for IQ, memory, and executive function. Conditions commonly assessed at Promises include major depressive disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, PTSD and complex trauma, ADHD (children and adults), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and adjustment disorders. The clinic also conducts forensic and medico-legal assessments for court-ordered evaluations, employment tribunals, and insurance-related psychiatric reports. Following the assessment, the clinician provides a comprehensive written report with diagnostic formulation, severity ratings, and a structured treatment recommendation plan. A feedback session is scheduled to walk the patient (and, for minors, their parents/guardians) through the findings and next steps. The report is accepted by Singapore employers, the Ministry of Education, courts, and healthcare providers.
