About of Leonardo F. Fontenelle

Leonardo F. Fontenelle is a Psychiatrist based in Clayton, VIC. You can find the practice at 770 Blackburn Road, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia.


In his day-to-day work, he looks after people dealing with mental health conditions and some related neurological problems. This can include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder (BPD). At times, care may also include support for people who are managing Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders, like transient tic disorder.


He also works with movement-related conditions. That includes benign essential blepharospasm and drug-induced dyskinesia. For some people, treatment can involve deep brain stimulation (DBS), which is a more specialised option when other approaches haven’t worked well enough.


For younger patients, the focus may be on paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus infections. These situations can be tough for families, especially when behaviour and symptoms can shift quickly. In many cases, getting the right assessment and a steady plan is the main thing.


The profile information available here doesn’t list specific details about Leonardo’s exact years of experience or where he studied. It also doesn’t include publication, research, or hospital affiliation details. Education and experience information is simply not shown in the current profile.
