Where can I get counselling and help for my mental state problems if I am unemployed?

Doctor's Answer

You could try the following steps:

1. See a psychiatrist in a restructured hospital. They'll make the necessary referrals for you to see a counsellor/psychologist. If you are financially strapped, a medical social worker will help.

2. Seek counseling from your nearest family service centre.

3. Seek help from organisations specialising in mental health e.g. SAMH etc. They will be able to help you.

The caveat to the above is that you need to tell the counsellors what help you were receiving previously, and what are your current debilitating symptoms.

The best suggestion for you is to see a psychiatrist first for reassessment, and your doctors will be able to take it from there.
