I have a friend who suspects that one of his family members might be suffering from bipolar disorder or some mental illness. His family members are thinking of sending him to see a mental doctor. However, it might not be so easy to convince him to go to the clinic to seek treatment. Does anyone have any experience?

http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_825934.html A psychiatrist practising at The Psychiatric & Behavioural Medicine Clinic (Ang & Kong) at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre was taken to task by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC), for having an improper sexual relationship with his patient for over 10 years. Dr Kong Sim Guan, also known as Sim Heng Guan, was suspended for three years and fined $10,000 in a rare disciplinary case for the relationship that lasted from 1996 and 2009. Under SMC's medical code and ethical guidelines, a doctor must not have a sexual relationship with a patient, or be involved in an adulterous relationship. The council's disciplinary committee found that the patient was a psychiatric patient who was no doubt a vulnerable patient. She was clearly a troubled patient with marital issues, the committee said.
