If hindi parin enough yan then seek for a psychotherapist kasi you might need some medication na.

[Antigone]

Also, for those who can't afford regular psychiatric consultations (mahal kasi talaga), you could try consulting OPDs of teaching hospitals like UP PGH, UERMMMC, UST, and I think sa Veterans. Psychiatric residents yung titingin guided by the consultants.

Warning lang, a psychologist can do psychotherapy, but he/she is not a medical doctor who can prescribe meds. 


If you think you might need medication, please go to a psychiatrist.


Don Santiago Building in front of Philippine General Hospital has a number of affordable psychiatrists as well.


Consults in UP-PGH are free, you just have to be willing wait in line due to the large number of patients the clinic receives.

Exactly, psychotherapy is actually a mode of treatment. Dra rodriguez of st lukes is amazing. Even has artista pxs. She also teaches in uerm and holds clinic there as well. And there's a charity ward in uerm. No need to fall in line for a very long time too since uerm is smaller compared sa pgh.

I had my consultation with Dr. Eric George Cruz from The Medical City last Tuesday. He seems okay. He gave me meds and will be seeing him again in 3 weeks.

[Jcblue]

free po ba sa UERM charity ward?

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^ i'm not sure if absolutely free sa uerm pero mas mura talaga. I'll ask tomorrow sis. Sayang i think last month may psychiatry week sa uerm and it's about suicide or depression ata. Tapos may free diagnosis.

[Jcblue]

thank you sis!!!

I went to UERM sa charity ward 100 pesos ang fee I have panic disorder kase ..need mag paappointment

[Tin45]

Hi guys,

I need help in finding clinical psychologists/psychotherapists that can help with anxiety disorders using cognitive behavior therapy (os siguro pwede din psychiatrist, basta preferably yung open to treatments na hindi nag me-medicate. Yung medication last resort nalang yun.)

Someone who is good in what he/she does pero preferably sana yung di naman masyadong expensive.

[Jcblue]

HI sisses I can add you to my support group..closed sya and we can share ideas

[autumntactic]

Hi Jcblue! anong support group yan? I would like to join.

[aizen]

PGH and UERM, they have psychiatric ward that is free for the qualified patients. Free food, doctor, therapist, stay. Its much friendlier than the 'mental hospital' in Mandaluyong.

Try asking PCSO for medical assistance, they usually give medicines (not cash).

There is also a Facebook support group where you can privately connect to other sufferers.. you can ask things out or compare notes or just vent your feelings.

oh sorry miss autumn ngayon lang nakapagreply dito ..heheh
