Anxiety

Feeling anxious or stressed occasionally is perfectly normal. But sometimes, these feelings become overwhelming and persistent, impacting daily life. This is when anxiety takes hold.

Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in Australia, affecting around one in four people.

Symptoms of anxiety can include:

• Excessive worry or fear
• Restlessness or feeling on edge
• Irritability
• Fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating
• Muscle tension
• Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
• Panic attacks (in some cases)

Treatment Options at Ramsay Clinic Northside

We understand that anxiety manifests differently for everyone. That's why our dedicated mental health team offer a variety of treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

This may include:

• Inpatient Program: For individuals requiring a more intensive level of support, we offer inpatient stays where you can focus on recovery within our clinic's supportive and stable environment.
• Day Programs: We offer a variety of evidence-based group therapy programs tailored to address specific needs. These programs help you develop coping mechanisms, manage symptoms, and prevent relapse. You'll work with our experienced therapists to build life skills and connect with others facing similar challenges. Click here to view a list of day programs available.
• Neurostimulation and Interventional Psychiatry Treatments: Alongside medication and psychological therapies, our clinic provides Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Medication-Assisted Psychotherapy through psychedelic medicines, some of which are also used as dissociative anaesthetics, all informed by the latest research findings. These services may be available to enhance your treatment plan based on the research and clinical experience of the Interventional team’s Medical Director, Professor Colleen Loo. Prof Loo is known for her groundbreaking research in ECT, TMS and ketamine, and continues to lead research in these fields along with psychedelic assisted therapy.
