Hey everyone! I'm moving to Wuhan in August as an international student and want to sort out my healthcare stuff before I arrive instead of scrambling later.

Mainly wondering how easy it is to see a psychiatrist there as a foreigner. A few things I'm curious about:

1. Are there psychiatrists who speak English? My Mandarin is basically zero right now

2. Do I just walk into a hospital or do I need a referral first? I've heard Union Hospital and Zhongnan have international clinics, are those the way to go?

3. Roughly what does a consultation cost, and does the student insurance usually cover mental health visits?

If anyone's actually been through this I'd love to hear how it went. Thanks!!!!
