Tamsyn E. Van Rheenen is a Psychiatrist based in Carlton, VIC, working out of 161 Barry Street. She helps people who are dealing with changes in mood, thinking, and behaviour, especially when symptoms affect day-to-day life.
As a psychiatrist, her work often focuses on conditions like bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder. She also looks after people with schizophrenia, and supports those who experience ongoing issues with attention and focus, including ADHD. In many cases, she helps patients and families understand what’s going on and find a steady way forward.
Mental health can get tangled up with stress, sleep, and physical health. At times, people she sees may also be coping with serious medical conditions, including neurodegenerative illnesses. The aim is to look at the whole picture, so treatment plans fit the person, not just the diagnosis on paper.
She may also see patients who report memory problems. And when someone is feeling overwhelmed by a new illness or a tough recovery, support can be just as important as medication. Mental health care can include regular check-ins, practical advice, and careful monitoring of how symptoms are changing over time.
Along with mental health support, her clinical work can include helping people manage anxiety or distress linked to major health events. This can be especially relevant for people dealing with things like respiratory infections and other significant health problems. In these situations, it helps to have someone who can bring calm structure while the rest of life is a bit up in the air.
