Vladan Starcevic is a psychiatrist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He looks after people who are dealing with real day-to-day mental health problems, not just “stress” that goes away on its own.
In his clinical work, he supports patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). These can show up as constant worries, tough thoughts that won’t switch off, or habits that feel hard to control. Many people also come in because sleep, concentration and relationships have been affected.
Vladan also works with people who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For some, the hardest part is the way past events keep coming back, sometimes through flashbacks, nightmares, or feeling on edge all the time. At times, the goal is to make life feel safer and more manageable again, step by step.
His practice also includes support for selective mutism and anorexia. Selective mutism can make speaking in certain settings feel impossible, even when someone is otherwise able to talk. Anorexia is serious and can affect the body as well as the mind, so early, steady support matters.
There are also less common mental health needs that he helps with, including spasmodic dysphonia. That’s a voice-related condition, and it can be deeply frustrating for everyday communication. He may also be involved in support for people connected with COVID-19 and SARS, where mental health can be hit hard by serious illness, uncertainty, and recovery.
