It's so costly to get a psychiatrist or to go for therapy. What are some of the cheaper alternatives I can go to for help?

The clinics at KKH and NUH are quite affordable for locals. Some polyclinics also have Psychologists attached to the clinic. Some Churches and Temples may also offer free Counselling services but be mindful that they may be para-counsellors and not fully trained. I know it costs money and yet it can make such a tremendous difference to your wellbeing. A person who is well in herself will be more productive and better able to take care of the household management, including finances. Mindful Mums run free support groups on the first Tuesday of every month.
