Mayuresh S. Korgaonkar is a psychiatrist based at 176 Hawkesbury Road, Westmead, NSW 2145. He works in Westmead and looks after adults and young people who need help with mental health and brain-related conditions.
Psychiatric care can cover a lot of different situations. At times, people come in feeling low for weeks, or stuck in a cycle of worrying, bad sleep, or sudden changes in mood. In other cases, the concern is more to do with thinking, focus, and day-to-day functioning. Mayuresh helps patients understand what’s going on and work out a practical path forward.
Common reasons people seek a psychiatrist include major depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD after traumatic events. There are also conditions like cyclothymic disorder and ongoing stress reactions, where emotions can feel intense and hard to manage. If you’re dealing with ADHD, trouble staying on track can show up at school, at work, or at home, and treatment can aim to support focus and routines.
Some people also need support when symptoms don’t always fit neatly into one box. For example, conversion disorder can involve real, distressing symptoms even when tests don’t show an easy physical cause. Concussion and traumatic brain injury can also bring changes in mood, irritability, concentration, and overall wellbeing, and psychiatric care can be part of a wider recovery plan.
Mayuresh also works with patients who have complex, long-term health problems where mental health matters just as much. Conditions listed include ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and primary lateral sclerosis, as well as neurofibromatosis (including neurofibromatosis type 1). At times, living with chronic illness can feel heavy, and it can affect how someone copes day to day.
Eating and weight-related issues may be another reason patients attend. Anorexia is one example, and treatment often needs a careful, supportive approach that takes both health and mental wellbeing into account. Some patients also seek help with problems connected to changes in behaviour and mental strain.
