Our Health Care Services
Anxiety & Treatment Services
Anxiety is a common mental health condition characterized by persistent worry, nervousness, or fear that can interfere with daily activities. It may present with physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating.
At MSQ Health, our psychiatrists treat anxiety through a tailored approach that includes a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and, if clinically appropriate, the prescription of medication. Treatment may also involve follow-up consultations and coordination with your GP to ensure ongoing support and care.
Depression & Treatment Services
Depression is a mood disorder marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. It can affect sleep, appetite, energy levels, and the ability to function in day-to-day life.
At MSQ Health, our psychiatrists provide a thorough assessment to determine the severity and nature of your symptoms. Treatment may include the prescription of antidepressant medication if clinically indicated, along with regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. Our team also works closely with your GP to support your recovery and overall well-being.
Schizophrenia & Treatment Services
Schizophrenia is a chronic and complex mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It can involve symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and significant disruptions to daily functioning. While the exact cause is unknown, schizophrenia is believed to result from a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors.
At MSQ Health, treatment for schizophrenia is delivered through a comprehensive and personalised approach. Each patient begins with a specialist psychiatric assessment, after which antipsychotic medication may be prescribed if clinically appropriate. Ongoing monitoring allows for treatment adjustments as needed, and we collaborate closely with general practitioners and support services to ensure integrated care. Follow-up consultations are available either via video conference or in person, depending on clinical needs. Our goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps manage symptoms, promote long-term stability, and improve overall quality of life.
Bipolar Disorder & Treatment Services
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels can significantly impact a person’s daily functioning and relationships.
At MSQ Health, our psychiatrists conduct a comprehensive assessment to accurately diagnose and understand the specific pattern of mood episodes. Treatment typically involves the use of mood stabilisers or other medications tailored to the individual’s needs. Follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor treatment effectiveness and ensure long-term stability. Our team also collaborates with your GP to support ongoing care and management.

Book an ADHD Assessment

→ Some health insurance policies may contribute to the cost. MSQ Health is a recognised Southern Cross Easy-Claim Provider.
