The purrleasures of staying at home 💕
The best part about social distancing is that, not only do you help save lives, but you get to spend time reconnecting with the people and things that you love.
My furry friend here is sending you all positive vibes. 💖
Take care and stay healthy 😘

What are you watching?
My top tip to help your mental health today is to remember that the news is incentivised to keep you watching. Whilst it is important to get information about the situation, being over-exposed to large amounts of the same information can be very taxing.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

Mental Health Week 🧠
1 in 5 Australians between the ages of 16-85 will experience a mental disorder in any year. The most common mental illnesses include depression, anxiety and substance misuse. Mental health not only affects adults but it also affects our youth of today.
Being a GP, mental health covers over half of my consults in any given day and the commonest feeling? Feeling alone and isolated.
We are so fortunate that mental health is no longer ‘taboo’ and there is so much help out there from support groups to psychologists and medication. The hardest step is recognising the need to ask for help. This mental health week, I am encouraging those of you who may be affected and haven’t made a connection for help to make a brave step forward. You’re not alone and I’d love to help you on your journey back to good health.
Take care and stay healthy 😘
