Ian B. Hickie is a psychiatrist based in Camperdown, NSW, working from 94 Mallett Street, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia.
His work covers adult mental health and wellbeing, especially when things feel tangled together with other health problems. In many cases, people come in with ongoing mood issues like major depression or bipolar patterns. At times there are also worries and stress symptoms, such as PTSD and OCD, or sleep problems like insomnia.
Ian also helps with harder, day-to-day challenges that can affect how a person thinks and manages daily life. This can include conditions like schizophrenia, memory loss, and dementia. He can also look at neurodevelopmental and related presentations, including autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, where support needs may show up in school or work life, routines, and relationships.
There’s often more than one thing happening at once, so care may include a focus on how mental health links with physical health. For example, he may help people managing chronic pain, acute pain, and issues connected to fatigue. Some patients also seek help when there are changes in appetite or eating patterns, such as anorexia, and when weight and obesity are part of the bigger picture.
Other presentations he sees can include cyclothymic disorder, antisocial personality disorder, postpartum depression, and drowsiness. He may also work with people dealing with serious stress after events, and with people who are navigating long-term illness such as COVID-19 and other complex medical histories.
Education details and work history aren’t listed here, and there are no specific clinical trials shown on this page. What does stand out is that the focus stays practical—supporting people with clear next steps, and helping them find a plan that fits their life, not just the diagnosis.
