ThaiPauly Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 My wife has unfortunately developed Physcomotor Retardation. It's a horrible thing and medication is not working. She has been attending Bangkok Hospital here for some time to receive medication , but this is not working. I think she needs 1 to 1 therapy to help her deal with this depressive disorder. Can anyone recommend a decent councilor that she can see on a regular basis in CM? Many thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sheryl Posted November 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2022 There is a government pysch hospital but she is likely to just get short doctor visit and anti-depressant medication there rather than the type of counseling you have in mind (bear in mind that this is nto really a Thai "thing" and Thais do not always take well to the concept) https://www.suanprung.go.th/index2559/e_service.php This place is Christian-run (but not evangelizing and has a couple of Thai counselors on staff https://www.ccfthailand.org/staff/ This place is fairly new, I have no feedback on it but it has Thai counselors who look well qualifiedhttps://counsellingthailand.com/native-english-and-thai-speaking-therapists-in-thailand/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 There are councilors in the Mental Health Department of Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai. I'm surprised the doctor prescribing the medication for the OP's wife isn't already engaging in 1 on 1 therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nancy We have been under BK Hospital physiologists and neurologists for 2 years now but her symptoms are just getting worse. She gets 20 minutes of 1 to 1 counseling once a month and lots of drugs that I believe do not interact with each other well according to my research Her current doctor said he would get outside counseling for her and would call with a name, but he never did. This is why I am looking for outside help now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundreds of people there when we have been, Doctors are under severe pressure. Two or three years ago, we shan't return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
