Amelia J. Hicks is a neurologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Neurology can be a lot to deal with, especially when symptoms show up after an injury or they slowly build over time. Amelia looks after people with brain and nerve conditions, including memory and thinking problems, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. She also supports patients who have mood or behaviour changes that can come with certain brain injuries.
Her clinical work includes care for traumatic brain injury, and issues that can follow it. At times, that can include post-traumatic epilepsy, where seizures happen after a head injury. She also cares for conditions where speech and emotional responses may not match what’s happening, such as pseudobulbar affect.
Some referrals are about remembering and learning. In many cases, this may relate to memory loss, dementia, or other brain-related changes that affect daily life. Other referrals are about movement and medication effects. For example, she manages concerns like drug induced dyskinesia, where involuntary movements can happen as a side effect of treatment.
There are also rarer conditions she may help with, depending on the case. Kluver Bucy syndrome is one example, and it can involve changes in behaviour and how people respond to things around them. Hypothermia is another condition that may be assessed in the right setting, especially when it’s linked to broader illness or injury.
Experience wise, her day-to-day work is centred on making sense of neurologic symptoms and helping people plan what to do next. She focuses on calm, practical care, because families often feel stressed and unsure at the start.
For education, the key point is that she is a trained neurologist, with the background needed to assess brain and nervous system problems. No further study details are listed here.
Research and clinical trials aren’t specifically listed in the information available. If you’re looking for trial options, it’s usually best to ask directly, so you can check what’s relevant for your situation and timing.
