Mental Health I St Vincent’s Private Hospitals

St Vincent’s Private Hospitals offer a wide range of mental health related services, for details of the mental health services at your local St Vincent’s Private Hospital, click here.

Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that encompasses a large range of mental health conditions.

When you are in need of expert support in this area, a psychiatrist is where you can turn.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioural disorders. This can include conditions such as depression, biopolar disorder, eating disorders, addiction and schizophrenia.

What you can expect from psychiatry

Psychiatrists have a deep understanding of the relationship between physical and mental health and influence they have on one another and so will assess your symptoms across these areas.

Your psychiatrist will then make a diagnosis and develop a personalised management plan for your treatment and recovery.

Depending on your treatment plan, psychiatrists may utilise a combination of treatment options such as counselling, prescribed medication or procedures. As medical doctors, they can also admit patients to hospital if required.

Psychiatry at St Vincent’s Private Hospital Sydney is currently specific to youth mental health through the Uspace facility.

Uspace is Australia’s first private mental health service, targeted to the needs of young adults aged 16 to 30.

Within a purpose built mental health facility with 20 single rooms, day services and on site consulting suites, our mission is to promote the recovery and psychological wellbeing of young adults with severe and emerging mental health problems through innovative mental health services.
