Kristi R. Griffiths is a psychiatrist based in Westmead, NSW. Her practice is at 176 Hawkesbury Road, Westmead, NSW 2145, Australia.
As a psychiatrist, Kristi works with people who are dealing with changes in mood, thoughts, and behaviour. In many cases, that means helping when symptoms feel hard to manage day to day, whether it’s for you personally, or for a family member you’re supporting.
Kristi supports people with conditions such as ADHD, major depression, and bipolar disorder. She also works with eating-related concerns like anorexia and bulimia. At times, people come in with patterns that link to cyclothymic disorder, or with periods where mood swings can be confusing and draining.
She also looks at other mental health and related issues, including conversion disorder. This can look different from person to person, and it can be frustrating when the body and mind seem to be tied up together in ways that don’t always make sense straight away.
People often seek help when symptoms affect sleep, work or study, relationships, or everyday routines. Kristi’s approach is to take things step by step, focusing on what’s going on now and what might help next. Sessions are usually about understanding the bigger picture, looking at triggers, and finding safer ways to cope.
Over time, treatment may involve talking therapy, careful planning, and making sure any mental health care fits with a person’s goals. For some people, that can include reviewing medicines and side effects, and making adjustments if needed. In others, it’s more about building strategies to handle day-to-day stress and reduce how much symptoms take over.
Kristi is based in a convenient Western Sydney location, so appointments can be easier to fit into busy lives. If you’re looking for support for mood concerns, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, or eating-related mental health issues, Kristi can help you work out what to do next.
