Feeling Blue?

Depression is well known but anxiety disorders are just as common and can be just as debilitating. The good news is depression and anxiety have safe and effective treatments. Management of these disorders is along three possible pathways: Self Help, Psychotherapy and Antidepressant medication.

You and your doctor will decide which combination of management strategies best suits you. Rokeby GP has experienced doctors with a keen interest in depression and anxiety disorders who will help guide and support you through this process. If you have had a bad experience with antidepressants or psychotherapy before, discuss it with your Rokeby GP. They can often have a solution for you.

Rokeby GP doctors are also adept at recognising other mental health problems including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and drug addiction. Management of these disorders is usually in the specialist realm and the caring doctors at Rokeby GP will help you find the right management option for you.

When booking for a mental health consult it is important to let reception know it is for a long appointment to ensure that adequate time is given to take care of your health.

Rokeby GP doctors also have special training in detecting and managing mental health during pregnancy and beyond. Rokeby GP supports the National Perinatal Depression Initiative, which aims to improve the prevention and early detection of antenatal and postnatal disorders, provide better care, support and treatment for expectant and new mothers experiencing perinatal disorders.

The Better Beginnings program is available to all expectant and new mothers, both current and new patients to Rokeby GP. When making an appointment please ask to book with the nurse for the Better Beginnings program.
