There's a husband and wife team that work there, I forget their names but they're an older couple and really nice. You'll be lucky to find a Farang 'psychologist' working for any of the hospitals, but might be someone retired here or something. Sorry to hear about your friend, went through the same thing with someone last year - not nice - but do what you can for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 beatingtheblues is an online program for people suffering from a depression, they get individual help. To participate in the program, you need a referal from a doctor or a psychologist. Or could she be treated by a psychologist (or whatever) who is based in the west, using skype+webcam? Maybe the best would be a psychologist with an Asian background, who would understand life here better than say a UK based psychologist who has never been further from home than the Canary Islands. Wishing you strength, Kees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreaminthai Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Mental Health is a difficult one in Thailand as most of the hospitals are geared up for selling medication. I would suggest that you enquire of the local christain groups and/or Phuket AA meeting as they are going down the right path and can be very helpfull when there is a genuine need.

The Thai psychiatrist from Bangkok Hospital, Dr Surin, was very articulate & clear in her presentation. I later asked her how they determine different types of depression & her answer impressed me enough to recommend her on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
