What a psychiatrist does
Psychiatrists are medical doctors specialising in mental health, so they can assess, diagnose and prescribe. Perinatal psychiatrists work with mental health in pregnancy and after birth, including decisions about medication while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Usually on referral, when medication is being considered or reviewed, when symptoms are severe, or where there is an existing diagnosis to manage through pregnancy. Deciding about medication in pregnancy is genuinely complex, and stopping something suddenly can carry more risk than continuing it.
Referrals, fees and Medicare
You will need a referral from a GP or another doctor.
Medicare rebates apply with a GP referral, and gaps vary widely between practitioners. Public perinatal and mother-baby services are free where available, though waiting times differ by state.
