Shameran Younan-Slewa is a Psychiatrist based in Melbourne, VIC 3010. In day to day practice, they look after people who are dealing with tough mental health issues, especially when things feel heavy or stuck for a long time.
One of the main areas Shameran works with is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can show up in many ways, like flashbacks, feeling on edge, trouble sleeping, and getting easily triggered by everyday things. At times it can also feel like your mind and body are stuck in “alarm mode”, even when you know you’re safe.
Shameran also works with people living with anorexia. This is more than just food. It can involve a big fear of weight gain, strong control around eating, and a lot of worry that takes over daily life. In many cases, the hardest part is that the illness can talk loud and push people away from support.
As a psychiatrist, Shameran’s role is to help untangle what’s happening, understand the patterns, and work out a plan that fits each person. Treatment can include talking through what’s going on, working out goals, and using evidence-based care. Sometimes medication may be part of that plan. At other times, the focus may be on strategies that help people feel more steady and in control.
Mental health care is rarely a straight line. Over time, people often need small steps, not big leaps. Shameran’s approach stays practical and grounded, aiming to make the next step feel doable. Sessions are typically about listening carefully, asking the right questions, and checking how things are going after changes to treatment.
In Melbourne, Shameran works with patients who want support that doesn’t feel rushed or judgemental. When you’re dealing with PTSD or anorexia, it can help to have someone who understands that recovery takes patience, consistency, and the right kind of care.
