Hi @sadness

Welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear you're not doing so well at the moment.

Unfortunately, discussions about specific psychiatrists and hospitals is not allowed in the forums.

Sorry we couldn't be useful in that regard. If you have any questions, or looking for support or advice about what you're going through, there's a great group of people here who are always willing to listen.

Take care

Re: Hosptal

@sadness no need to apologise at all. You weren't to know. It's completely fine. It sounds like you're at the end of your tether.
You're among friends here

Hi @sadness

Sorry to hear you are struggling. I too have suffered from major depression and dysthymia.

I would go talk to your GP or do some research on the Internet to see what private hospitals are available in Perth. I myself I travelled interstate to get into the facility I wanted to be in. I choose this one because its quite unquie and they run group therapy (process work).

I would ring a few of the facilities and just see which one you feel more comfrtable with, we all have different needs, and what we want/need from a hospital admission. I guess what I look for is how professional they are, respecting privavcy etc. I think its also important they are efficient in what they do. Hope this helps a little.

Re: Hosptal

@sadness. I was in a similar situation earlier this year, but in Victoria. I googled private psych hospitals. I looked up their websites. I read details on their depression and anxiety programs. I looked at what groups they ran during the day. I found one that looked just right and it was.
Have a search. Ask your gp or psychologist or psychiatrist which they would recommend. Be sure to find one that runs different therapy groups.
All the best
