in patient Units

Hi
I have been diagnosed with GAD, Social anxiety and depression. I also have a chronic illness. I am currently at a very low point. I am looking at inpatient units for myself and I have no idea where to start looking. I have google searched but have not found a great deal of detail. I am in semi rural Victoria so there is very limited public options and from what I have been told the system is very regional based and the public system only takes patients that are in the area. I am unsure as how much the costs are for private places and if these a good options. I was after any advice as to which private or public in patient units are around and helpful for someone in my position. Thanks in advance.

Hi Leanne and welcome to our community

Sorry to hear you are feeling very low at the moment and that it's take so long to get a response to you. Please be assured it's not your post, it's what happens to posts sometimes. They get unintentionally missed.

As a place to start, have you spoken to your GP? I've just had a quick look at the government health site in Victoria. It suggests that this is a good starting point. There are various private and public services available and that your doctor can help one make a decision. The Victorian Health site for information about hospitals, clinics and residential options for mental health conditions is -

www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ServicesAndSupport/hospitals-clinics-and-residential-options-for-mental-illness

If there is anyone on the forums who has had experience with inpatients in Victoria, I'm sure they'll respond to you.

Kind regards
