Carlos Zubaran is a Psychiatrist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
In day-to-day work, Carlos focuses on helping people who are dealing with postpartum depression. This can happen after having a baby, and it’s more common than many people realise. It’s not about “being a bad parent”. It’s about a mental health issue that can make you feel flat, anxious, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself.
Postpartum depression can look different from person to person. Some people feel tearful and low most days. Others feel irritable, tense, or unable to switch off their worries. At times, it can also come with trouble sleeping, changes in appetite, and a strong sense of guilt or shame. Carlos works with you to sort out what’s going on, how it’s affecting your day, and what support can realistically help.
A first appointment is usually about taking the time to understand your story and your symptoms. Carlos will talk through what has been happening since the birth, how things are at home, and what kind of support you have around you. From there, the plan is kept simple and practical. It might include talking strategies, ways to manage stress, and careful discussion about options that can support mood and sleep.
Because postpartum mental health can affect both the parent and the whole family, Carlos also looks at the bigger picture. That might include how you’re coping with caring for a newborn, how you’re managing breaks and rest, and what kind of help you can put in place. In many cases, treatment goes best when it matches your routines, your energy levels, and what you feel comfortable with.
If you’re having scary thoughts, feeling unsafe, or finding it hard to cope day to day, it’s important to get help quickly. Carlos can support you to understand what’s going on and to make sure you have the right next steps and safety plan in place.
At appointments, the goal is steady, not rushed. Over time, many people find their mood improves with the right support, and the days start to feel more manageable again. If you’re in Sydney and you’re looking for help with postpartum depression, Carlos Zubaran offers psychiatric support with a focus on what matters most for your recovery and wellbeing.
