About of Wai S. Chen

Wai S. Chen is a Psychiatrist based in Perth, WA 6150. They work with people and families who are dealing with day-to-day mental health challenges, plus some complex support needs that can affect school, home, and relationships.

In many cases, the work is about helping with attention and behaviour difficulties, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). At times, these issues can feel overwhelming for everyone involved. The goal is to make things clearer, steadier, and easier to manage, step by step.


Wai S. Chen also looks after patients who are going through mood changes after having a baby. Postpartum Depression can be tough to handle on your own. Getting the right support early can make a big difference, whether you are dealing with low mood, anxiety, or feeling worn out and not like yourself.

Some referrals involve learning and developmental conditions too, such as Prader-Willi Syndrome and Williams Syndrome. This kind of work often needs a calm, practical approach and good communication with caregivers. It’s not just about symptoms. It’s also about finding strategies that fit the person, their routine, and their environment.


Menorrhagia is also listed among the areas connected to their care. Bleeding that is heavy or hard to control can affect energy, mood, and day-to-day life. When mental and physical health overlap, it helps to have someone who can look at the whole picture and think through what support makes sense.

Over time, Wai S. Chen’s focus stays on building a plan that feels workable in real life. Appointments can involve talking through what is happening, checking what has helped before, and thinking about next steps. The approach is grounded and patient-led, with an emphasis on safety, comfort, and steady progress.


Training in psychiatry supports the way this care is delivered, along with ongoing professional development as new guidance and treatment ideas come through. Research is kept in mind in a practical way, not as big theory—just to help make sure decisions are based on what is known to work.

If you need support for ADHD, ODD, postpartum depression, or you’re navigating a diagnosis like Prader-Willi Syndrome or Williams Syndrome, Wai S. Chen can help you work out a clear path forward. When symptoms affect daily life, it helps to have someone who takes the time and keeps things simple.
