These may\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthdirect.gov.au\/psychiatrists-and-psychologists\">include<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>severe depression, including suicidal thoughts or behaviours<\/li>\n<li>severe anxiety, panic attacks or phobias<\/li>\n<li>post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<\/li>\n<li>eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia<\/li>\n<li>attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Psychiatrists complement other mental health clinicians by prescribing certain medications and making decisions about hospital admission. But when psychiatry support is not available a range of team members can contribute to a person\u2019s mental health care.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Can my GP help?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Depending on your mental health concerns, your GP may be able to offer alternatives while you await formal psychiatry care.<\/p>\n<p>GPs provide support for a range of mental health concerns, regardless of formal diagnosis. They can help address the causes and impact of issues including mental distress, changes in sleep, thinking, mood or behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpsupport.org.au\/#:%7E:text=The%20GP%20Psychiatry%20Support%20Line,health%20needs%20of%20your%20patients.\">GP Psychiatry Support Line<\/a>\u00a0also provides doctors advice on care, prescription medication and how support can work.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to book a long consult and consider taking a trusted person. Be explicit about how you\u2019ve been feeling and what previous supports or medication you\u2019ve accessed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What about psychologists, counsellors or community services?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your GP should also be aware of supports available locally and online.<\/p>\n<p>For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.headtohealth.gov.au\/\">Head to Health<\/a>\u00a0is a government initiative, including information, a nationwide phone line, and in-person clinics in Victoria.
