Do I need to see a psychiatrist for possible acne-related depression?

Doctor's Answer

Hi there!

Acne is a common issue in our hot and humid Singapore, I feel you on that!

First of all, I think you should be assessed by a doctor to determine if you indeed have depression.

A visit to your friendly GP or polyclinic is a good first step. Some family doctors have a diploma in mental health, so they are competent in managing simple psychiatric disorders, so you do not really have to be seen by a psychiatrist unless it is necessary!
