Expert Mental Health Assistance in Subiaco
What We Mean When We Say Mental Health
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is “a state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.” So rather than being about ‘what’s the problem?’ it’s really about ‘what’s going well?'.
For any discussions around your mental wellbeing, please book a long appointment as a starting point, as we need time to hear you and then work through a plan together.
How We Can Help
If you are unsure of what might work for you, speaking to a general physician (GP) is a really good place to start. Sometimes talking is enough; but there are other options including referral to a psychologist. We can prepare a Mental Health Care Plan together, Medicare will rebate you around $120 for each visit to the psychologist, now up to 20 visits every calendar year.
Finding the right health professional is a key step in most people's journey – someone you feel comfortable with, who 'gets' you. While some people find a practitioner and treatment that works for them the first time, for others it can take a few goes. The main thing is to persevere – try not to let one not-so-good experience put you off from getting the support you need.
