In the fast-paced metropolis of Hong Kong, mental health has become an increasingly pressing concern.

The pressures of modern urban life, coupled with recent societal and economic challenges, have driven a notable rise in mental health issues. According to the 2025 Hong Kong Depression Index Survey, both depression and anxiety indices reached record highs, with nearly 30% of respondents experiencing moderate to severe depressive symptoms and 22.6% facing moderate to severe anxiety symptoms. These challenges are particularly acute among younger generations, underscoring the urgent need for accessible, high-quality mental health support.

Dr. Dennis Cheung Ching Ping (張正平醫生), Medical Director of HealthyMind Centre (思健醫務中心)

In response to this growing demand, Dr. Dennis Cheung Ching Ping (張正平醫生), a specialist in psychiatry and Honorary Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Hong Kong, founded HealthyMind Centre (思健醫務中心) in 2017. Guided by the belief that “A healthy body requires a healthy mind, and vice versa” Dr. Cheung established the centre to deliver truly integrated, holistic care that bridges the mind-body connection.

The HealthyMind Approach: Integrated Care for Body and Mind

HealthyMind stands out for its collaborative, holistic model. Rather than treating mental and physical health in isolation, the centre brings together psychiatrists, psychologists, general practitioners, dietitians, and other specialists under one roof. This integrated approach leads to more accurate diagnoses, coordinated treatment plans, and better long-term outcomes.


Psychiatric Services form the core. Led by experienced specialist psychiatrists, the team offers personalized assessments and treatments for conditions across all ages — from depression, anxiety, insomnia, and ADHD in adults to emotional and neurodevelopmental challenges in children and adolescents (including autism), and dementia or geriatric depression in older adults. Treatments combine evidence-based medication with non-drug options in a supportive environment.

Psychological Therapies provide powerful tools for lasting change. Options include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — to reframe unhelpful thought patterns.
Mindfulness-based Therapy — for stress reduction and greater present-moment awareness.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Psychodynamic Therapy — to process emotions and explore deeper patterns.
EMDR and Family Therapy — for trauma recovery and improving relationships.
These therapies help individuals build resilience and improve overall quality of life.

For those seeking non-invasive options, especially with treatment-resistant conditions, the centre offers rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). This advanced, drug-free therapy uses targeted magnetic pulses (often to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) to normalize brain activity. It shows strong results for depression, anxiety, and OCD, with minimal side effects. Benefits also extend to managing chronic neuropathic pain and supporting post-stroke neuroplasticity — a clear demonstration of the mind-body connection.

Support for Children, Families, and Everyday Health

HealthyMind places strong emphasis on early intervention through its Child Development Services. A multidisciplinary team of clinical and educational psychologists uses gold-standard, internationally recognized tools — including Wechsler IQ scales (WPPSI/WISC) and ADOS-2 for autism — to assess cognitive, language, social-emotional, and developmental needs. These evaluations meet requirements for both local Education Bureau and international school contexts.Once challenges like ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dyslexia, or general delays are identified, the team creates tailored intervention plans, including speech therapy and psychological support, helping children reach their full potential.

Bridging physical and mental health is the General Outpatient Services, staffed by experienced GPs. They handle everyday illnesses, chronic conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes), and preventive care. Importantly, the team watches for signs where physical symptoms (insomnia, chronic pain) may stem from stress or emotional issues, coordinating with mental health specialists for truly integrated care.

Recognizing that nutrition fuels both brain and body, the centre’s Dietitian Services offer personalized plans backed by science and InBody analysis. Support covers weight management, chronic disease management, emotional eating, and gut health — all coordinated with other treatments to promote sustainable habits.
HealthyMind understands the importance of accessibility in mental healthcare. To serve the community better, they operate multiple convenient locations with the main branch being in Central, Hong Kong.
