I suspect that I have anxiety disorder too. Who are you seeing currently? Anyone else with anxiety disorder? Anyone who has successfully recovered?

Below are some recommendations I found at Cari forum, he/she was seeing both:
Psychiatrist - Dr Aw Tui Iar
Psychologist - Ms Leong Huey Mei, Hospital Pantai Indah
Please share your views and comments on them if you have previously consulted them.

Please also share any other good recommendations especially if you or someone you know have had good results with the doctor.
I would be happy to visit both government and private clinics, as long as the doctor is good or 1 of the best, as I am quite worried with my condition and I do not know any contacts, and I am also concern with what I read on some websites that psychiatry is not very advanced in Malaysia.

Glad to hear that you are recovering. Thanx for ur recommendation, I m thinking of seeing a GP soon.

Can you share with us your journey to recovery? Coz I have not heard of anyone I know who had it before. How do they diagnose you with anxiety disorder? Do u see a GP 1st, then do blood test or ECG test before seeing a psychiatrist?

How is it treated? The psychiatrist juz prescribe u with meds? U mentioned earlier that u went to General Hospital, KL n she only gave u pain killers, so u switch to Doctor Lim at Ampang hospital after that? Is he giving u therapy apart from Alpazolam? Is ur condition caused by stress? Coz I m afraid that the doc will only give me meds to cure the symptoms but not the underlying cause.

You can visit the link below to read more about anxiety disorder:

They have a "Quick Mood Checklist for Anxiety Disorder":

If you think there is something wrong, I think the best thing to do is to visit ur GP for diagnosis, although it may be difficult to take the first step. I wasn't aware about this disorder until I read about it in The Star years ago.
