Perinatal Mental Health

The journey of parenthood is a beautiful one, but it can also be challenging. At Ramsay Clinic Mitcham, we understand that new parents are especially vulnerable to mental health concerns.

That's why we offer specialised care through our dedicated Perinatal Mental Health Team. Our care focusses on a wide range of challenges that expecting and new mothers might face, including:

• Perinatal Depression
• Perinatal Anxiety
• Bipolar Disorder in the Perinatal Period
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after birth
• Pre and Postnatal Adjustment to Parenthood
• Perinatal medication changes
• Perinatal Mood Disorders

Treatment Options at Ramsay Clinic Mitcham

Our comfortable and supportive environment allows you to focus on healing alongside your baby (up to 12 months old).

Our inpatient program includes:

• Individualised care: Tailored treatment plans address your unique needs and your baby's well-being.
• Private rooms with ensuites: Ensure your comfort and privacy during your stay (average 2-3 weeks).
• Support for loved ones: We understand the importance of a strong support network. Partners are welcome to stay and we offer flexible visiting hours.
• Discharge planning: We work with you to create a smooth transition back home, including follow-up care and building a support system.

In addition to our inpatient program, we offer a specialised day program to help continue your care.

The Circle of Security is an evidence-based eight-week program designed to assist caregivers in developing a secure attachment with their child. By doing so, it strengthens the bond between caregivers and their babies, ultimately boosting caregivers’ confidence in their parenting skills.
