11.01.2022 Sleep and Mental Health It is acknowledged that sleep deprivation may raise the risk of or even contribute to some psychiatric disorders. Although the attached article does not serve to provide medical advice or to substitute seeing your GP for sleeping and/or mental health problems, it provides some insight on the effects of poor sleep on mental health and the significance of lifestyle changes in improving your sleep patterns.... Key points: a) How sleep affects mental health: Insomnia can amplify the symptoms of psychiatric disorders, and vice versa. This is understood to be because of the effects of sleep disruptions on several physiological processes, such as the levels of neurotransmitters and stress hormones, which could impair cognitive capacity and emotional regulation. b) Psychological disorders and sleep deprivation: This article provides an insight on the relationship between sleep problems and psychiatric disorders, such as ADHD, bipolar disorder and depression. c) The role of lifestyle changes in treating sleep problems: The articles states that the treatment of most sleep problems for most patients is the same, regardless of presence of absence of psychiatric disorders. It then explains the importance of physical activity, sleep hygiene, relation techniques and Cognitive behavioural therapy in treating sleep disorders. If you have thoughts/experience on different techniques for improving your sleep pattern or the effects of improved sleep on your wellbeing, especially if you have personal experience, please share your throughs, as it may benefit others well.

07.01.2022 How do you see Psychiatrist or a Psychologist? If you wish to see a psychologist, your GP would then need to prepare a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). Using a MHCP, you can obtain Medicare rebates for seeing a psychologist for 10 sessions per calendar year. On the other hand, if you wish to see a psychiatrist, your GP would then need to prepare a referral. This referral would enable you to obtain Medicare rebates for your psychiatry fees. Medicare has not set any limits on t...he number of times that you can see a psychiatrist. At Takes Care Psychology, all MHCPs and referrals are faxed to the practice. We then contact each person to make an appointment. Please also note in addition to our competitive rates, we also offer reduced fees for patients with low income. During the COVID19 crisis, all concession card holders and those that are considered vulnerable are bulk billed.
