Dedicated psychiatric clinics Lin's view is that an ordinary outpatient clinic has its limitations. There are typically so many patients that time with the doctor is short, and a parent or carer usually speaks for the mentally disabled patient, but they are often unable to adequately describe the patient's condition, so that the doctors never get a handle on the best mode of treatment.
催生身心障礙者精神專科門診對此，林亮吟認為，一般門診的確有其限制，由於病人眾多，且心智障礙患者通常須由家長或教保員「代言」，對症狀的描述不足，使得醫療上沒辦法正確切入。
