General Mental Health Treatment

Clinicians at Depsypher Mental Health Services pride ourselves on delivering high quality, comprehensive, and evidence-based mental health treatment. To provide this high quality service, Depsypher Mental Health Service employs a range of clinicians who work independently and as part of the clinical team. We call this a shared-care model, where your care is generally managed by your individual clinician with the option of sharing your care with our psychiatrist as needed.

Depsypher Mental Health Services believe that clients should have a choice in who provides mental health treatment and understands that you want consistency in your health care. To facilitate consistency, you will be offered appointments with your preferred clinician and, unless there are exceptional circumstances, this clinician will remain constant throughout your treatment with us. 

Here at Depsypher Mental Health Services we have access to highly trained nursing, allied health and medical staff. All assessments must have an initial assessment with one of our Clinical Nurse Consultants or Psychologists, prior to being referred to our psychiatrist. This team approach allows the efficient use of our psychiatrist's time, reducing waiting times and cost for the client. This is particularly important with the current significant waiting times to see a psychiatrist in NSW. Generally, we are able to review our clients within around two-weeks, with psychiatrist appointments being booked approximately one to two months later.

In the interim, whilst you are waiting to see the Depsypher Mental Health Services psychiatrist, our clinicians will work with you, providing psychological treatment, case management support, and liaise closely with your GP to support timely review for medication or  medical testing.  

Depsypher Mental Health Services offers assessment and treatment to eligible patients. We provide individualised, evidence based, ethical treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions.  Whilst we specialise in the sub-specialty of forensic mental health we offer comprehensive assessment and treatment regardless of whether the client is involved with the criminal justice system. Our expertise in complicated mental health matters allows us to offer tailored treatment no matter what the presenting issue.

We are often the first clinician to assess the client and we provide  gold standard assessment, treatment and follow up. We work closely with GPs, psychiatrists and other allied health professionals as required to ensure that clients receive the very best mental health care.

Examples of treatment include (but not limited to):

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Bipolar affective disorder
• Psychotic disorders
• Personality disorders
• Sex offender treatment
• Violent offender treatment
• Complicated mental health matters
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

We have expertise in most areas of mental health which places us ideally to assess and treat our clients to an exceptional standard. All clients, regardless of their legal status are provided with an individualised plan of care and all treatment is based on up to date evidence (evidence based practice).
