If initial symptoms such as Depression or Anxiety happens, who should I seek treatment from first, a Neurologist or Psychiatrist?

Thanks for your question, and I’m very sorry to hear that you are going through such a horrible time. I can only imagine how tough it must be. Before I answer further, I’m going to give the caveat that it’s next to impossible to offer advice about any psychiatric problem without seeing you face to face, or at the very least, having all the salient information about mood, sleep, suicidal ideation etc. I’m going to assume off the bat that the diagnosis of depression has been established by the doctors you’ve seen.

If you are attending a school, you can approach the school counsellor for help. You can also approach a family physician for help. The doctor will then assess your condition and then treat you at the clinic or refer you to the appropriate facility. You can also seek treatment at the polyclinic. There are social workers at various hospitals in Singapore and they will assess your financial status and assist you in whatever way that is possible.
