Your score is (Low)

You are likely not experiencing perinatal depression and/or anxiety.

  • If your score is low but you feel down, stressed, or anxious we recommend that you see your GP, a psychologist or other mental health professional for a personalised assessment.
  • It’s important to seek help as soon as possible and talk to someone about how you are feeling.

What To Do If You Need Help

Speak with your GP

For a more in-depth assessment and/or to discuss how you are feeling, make an appointment to see your GP.

Talk to a Psychologist

See a mental health professional such as a Psychologist or Psychiatrist to discuss your concerns and get a personalised clinical assessment.

The first appointment with a Clinical Psychologist involves a comprehensive clinical assessment where:

  1. you are provided a provisional diagnosis;
  2. we discuss your goals for therapy;
  3. a tentative treatment plan is developed including the recommended type of therapy likely to produce the best outcome;
  4. you are provided with initial treatment strategies to start working on immediately.
