I would like to know if it would be possible to get a check up relating mental health at Government Hospitals in Malaysia.

If so, then what and how do i register myself? Like what should i fill in the form when they ask "what I'm having troubles with"?

Also, how much would a check up cost? Just wanting to make sure that I'm getting all the right facts before going to a hospital.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, for even reading. I'm a secondary school student, so I'm very sorry if my questions seems idiotic or frustrating in a way.

Go to klinik kesihatan first.

Depression is a serious and real problem. So there is nothing idiotic about it. You can start off by going to the outpatient section and then they can refer to the more specialized departments if needed.

Go to any GP or KK tell them ur problem and request referral letter to see psychiatrist in nearest GH
U cant go to GH specialist clinic without referral letter.
KK rm 1
GH rm 5
GP depends

salah society because always frame become doctor = easy 20k
but never actually talk abou the work load

Yeah even a GP would have some basic knowledge to perform first round diagnostics.

Gp is know as primary care for a reason.

They are the first line to screen and diagnose. Treat and refer to specialist if necessary.

U need to go kk first. The doctor will evaluate your case before give referral later to psychiatrist

Govt hospital have psychology department and there are open talks from time to time to promote mental health. Just go and check out, usually they quite helpful.

Please be strong. U can go through this hard times, and you will be better.

Like others said, first step is for you to contact Befriender(please google them). They will assist u from there.

Take care..

If your age is less than 18 years old(based on date of birth): you need your parent/guardian to accompany you regardless of any visit(private/government).

1. Government Health Clinic --> referral to Government Psychiatric Clinic
I would recommend you to go to government health clinic and get a referral letter to Government Hospital Psychiatric clinic.

If you are studying in a government school : it is totally free for all followup and medications(provided you hand over a letter from your school stating that you are a government school student).


2. If you want faster option : Go to a private GP -->> referral letter to Government Psychiatric Clinic
You need to pay at Government Psychiatric Clinic: RM 30 for first visit and RM5 for subsequent visit. Medications are not included.

3.Walk in as a full paying patient at a government hospital psychiatric clinic(not all hospitals would offer this option)
RM80-200 first visit, medications are not included

4.Go to private psychiatrist
More than RM200/first visit, medications are not included.

Do not follow non-sense advocated by other /k. If you have major depression : you need to consult a psychiatrist.

If you're chinese, there's plenty of motivation talk to awaken yourself.

have you talk to your parents about your problems?

if your parents do not understand, try reaching out your elder relatives.

Son, if you are only a secondary student, talk to your school counsellor.

As you are still a minor, any treatment cannot be done without your legal guardian approval.

Your school counsellor will access your situation and inform your legal guardian and advice them on the next steps to take.

Talk to your legal guardian or siblings about your needs and feelings

Dunno whether ts is trolling or not, but if you are serious, just go to the nearest kk and start telling them your prob. They will ask questions regarding symptoms of depression and after some examination, they will refer you to the nearest psychiatric clinic if they deem u fit the criteria for major depressive disorder

I see, thank you very much for your response!

Alright, Thank you!

Thank you very much for your response!
