Sydney South East Psychiatry

Psychiatrists, trained as medical doctors with a specialty in mental  health issues, have the knowledge and training required for diagnosing  mental illness, recommending treatment options, providing general medical care, including checking your physical health and the effects of medication and coordinating a team of professionals to assist in diagnosis and treatment. Because they are doctors, psychiatrists understand the links between mental and physical problems. They can also prescribe medications

Our experience and expertise include helping patients determine the optimal treatment, or combination of treatments. We have so many new  medications and therapies today which makes it challenging for patients  to determine where to start. The number of new medicines and therapies together with the new data emerging about their optimal uses provides  challenges for doctors also.Our compassionate and empathetic approach creates a safe and non-judgmental environment for patients to discuss their mental health concerns and work towards recovery.
