Breaking Barriers: John’s Journey through Perinatal Mood Disorder
John was diagnosed with perinatal mood disorder by his psychiatrist and referred to Belmont Private Hospital’s Brisbane Centre for Perinatal Disorders (BCPND). It's important to note that patients are not required to have a formal mental health diagnosis or see a psychiatrist before admission. GPs can refer patients directly to the centre, ensuring they receive timely care to improve patient outcomes.
