We provide comprehensive assessment and treatment for the following conditions. It's important to remember that treatment for mental health conditions is highly individualised, depending on their specific needs and circumstances.

• Depressive disorder: Depression is a common mental health condition that can affect mood, energy levels, and overall quality of life. Treatment for depressive disorder may include medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. Antidepressants are often prescribed to help regulate mood, and psychotherapy can help patients develop coping skills and strategies to manage their symptoms.
   
• Anxiety disorder: Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions that can cause excessive worry, fear, and nervousness. Treatment for anxiety disorder may include medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. Antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and beta-blockers may be prescribed to help manage symptoms. Psychotherapy can also help patients learn coping skills and strategies to manage their anxiety.
   

• Schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders: Treatment may include antipsychotic medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. Antipsychotic medication can help manage symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and psychotherapy can help patients learn coping skills and strategies to manage their symptoms.

   

• Bipolar affective disorder: Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy levels, and activity levels. Treatment for bipolar affective disorder may include mood stabilisers, antipsychotic medication, and psychotherapy. Mood stabilisers can help regulate mood swings, and antipsychotic medication can help manage symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions.

   

• Adjustment disorder: Treatment for adjustment disorder may include psychotherapy, medication, or both. Psychotherapy can help patients learn coping skills to manage their symptoms, and medication may be prescribed to manage symptoms such as anxiety or depression.

   

• Obsessive compulsive disorder: OCD is a mental health condition that causes unwanted and intrusive thoughts, as well as repetitive behaviours or rituals. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication, or both. Antidepressants can help manage symptoms, and psychotherapy can help patients learn coping skills and strategies to manage symptoms.

   

• Insomnia: Insomnia disorder is a sleep disorder characterised by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, or waking up too early in the morning. It can lead to fatigue, irritability, and other health problems if left untreated. Treatment for insomnia may involve lifestyle changes, such as improving sleep hygiene and avoiding stimulants before bedtime. In some cases, medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms.

   

• Post-traumatic stress disorder: PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event. Treatment for PTSD may include psychotherapy, medication, or both. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can help manage symptoms, and psychotherapy can help patients learn coping skills and strategies to manage symptoms.

   

• Dementia: Dementia is a general term used to describe a decline in cognitive function that interferes with a person's ability to perform everyday activities. It is most commonly associated with aging but can also be caused by other factors, such as injury or disease. Treatment may include medication to manage symptoms such as memory loss and confusion. Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, can also help manage symptoms. In some cases, psychotherapy may also be recommended to help patients and their families cope with the emotional impact of the condition.

   

• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Managing ADHD requires a comprehensive approach that typically begins with a formal assessment to determine the severity of the condition. Medications like stimulants and non-stimulants can be effective in managing symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. Psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), can help develop coping skills and strategies to manage symptoms. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as engaging in regular exercise, following a healthy diet, and maintaining good sleep habits can also help manage symptoms of ADHD.

A psychiatrist has a medical degree and can prescribe medication for psychiatric conditions, such as anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. Some, but not all, psychiatrists offer “talk therapy” to their patients.

A clinical psychologist typically has a degree in psychology and at least two years of postgraduate training in clinical psychology. Generally, clinical psychologists receive more training in “talk therapy” and as such, specialise in this area.

You may be referred to see a psychiatrist for medication needs, or to a clinical psychologist for “talk therapy”.
