About of Greg M. Murray

Greg M. Murray is a psychiatrist based in Hawthorn, VIC. His practice address is PO Box 218, John Street, Hawthorn, VIC 3122, Australia.

Greg helps adults who are dealing with ongoing mental health and pain-related problems. In many cases, mental health and physical symptoms can affect each other, and he focuses on understanding the whole picture, not just one part of it. This can include mood changes, anxiety, and periods where people feel low, overwhelmed, or not quite like themselves.


You might see him for conditions such as major depression, generalized anxiety, and seasonal affective disorder. He also looks after people with bipolar disorder and cyclothymic disorder, including the ups and downs that can come over time. At times, he may help with trigeminal neuralgia and neuralgia, as well as trigeminal and facial pain concerns where stress, sleep, and mood can make symptoms harder to manage.


Chronic pain and acute pain are also part of the work. That can include situations related to TMJ disorders (jaw joint pain) and ongoing discomfort that affects everyday life, like eating, speaking, or getting proper rest. Some people also come with symptoms linked to adult syndrome concerns, and he aims to take a steady, practical approach to care.


Greg’s role as a psychiatrist means he spends time looking at how thoughts, feelings, and body signals fit together. The goal is usually to reduce distress and help people get back to day-to-day routines. Treatment can involve talking through what’s going on and working out a plan for the next steps, especially when symptoms keep coming back or don’t respond as expected.


For some people, the hardest part is not knowing what’s happening or feeling stuck between appointments. In these situations, clear next steps matter. Greg looks at what has helped before, what hasn’t, and what might be worth trying in the current stage of illness.


There isn’t a lot of “one size fits all” in mental health or pain. Over time, conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar-related mood changes, and pain can shift. Greg helps people stay focused on what they can control, while also working with the support around them to improve how things feel day to day.
