Your Health In Mind
This website provides expert information about mental illness, treatments, psychiatrists, and how to get help.

It’s written in plain English, based on the best available evidence. It’s especially for Australians and New Zealanders.

We know that many people aren’t sure about things like:

• the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist
• what psychiatrists do and how they can help with mental health problems
• what happens when you visit a psychiatrist
• how to find and get in touch with a psychiatrist.

We hope this website will answer these questions.
