Our child psychiatrists see much more than the diagnosis a patient may present with. They endeavour to understand the child, their interests, their families and their background. They work collaboratively with each family and family supports. Some of the assessment processes require more than one appointment.
Our child psychiatrists have interests in perinatal and infant mental health, womens’ mental health, psychotherapy, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum presentations. There may be limited availability for some mental health disorders due to the requirement to balance workloads and ensure each patient benefits from expert care. Our psychiatrists work collaboratively with psychologists, other allied health clinicians, GPs and our psychiatric colleagues.
