My mother is suffering from depression. We went to see a famous psychiatrist in Melbourne Plaza because he sounds like a nice guy on the radio talk show but he is not ! Can any one recommend one who is professional and kind ?

Why doesn't she see her family doctor? she's probably a lot more confortable with a person she knows, and statistically family doctors treat most depressions in the community. They are therefor familiar with the antidepressants. As a General Practitioner, I would say 20% of my work is helping depressed and anxious people.

If GP are just as good, why would people pay $2,000 for 15 min session with s specialist ?

GPs are not "just as good as psychiatrists" in dealing with specialised psychiatric issues, but for the vast majority of psychiatric-type illness .... anxiety-depressions, OCD, mood disorder, behavioural-personality disorders etc etc, a skilled GP is just as good. Mind you, it does depend on having a good GP. A bad GP is totally useless for most illnesses, including psychiatric issues.

She has seen several psychologist before. I think she has severe depression and needs a psychiatrist who can prescribe drugs. The one in Melbourne Plaza is too busy too tense himself .Any other ?
