Researcher
Professor Paul Fitzgerald
MBBS, MPM, PhD, FRANZCP
Director of Monarch Research Institute and Founder
Professor Paul Fitzgerald is the Co-founder and Director of Monarch Mental Health Group and the Monarch Mental Health Research Institute. Professor Fitzgerald is an internationally recognized expert in novel treatments for mental health conditions, including the use of TMS.
Depression
We offer comprehensive assessments to identify depression and tailor treatment plans that may include Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both.
Adult ADHD
Through in-depth assessments, we diagnose adult ADHD and develop treatment strategies through non-stimulant and stimulant medications as well as psychological therapies focusing on improving focus, attention, organisation, and emotional regulation.
Anxiety
Our team utilises advanced diagnostic tools to identify anxiety disorders and create personalised treatment plans that can involve Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, or medication management.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
We provide specialised assessments for PTSD and develop evidence-based treatment plans, including psychotherapy approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) to help manage symptoms and promote healing.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Our team offers thorough assessments for OCD and develops treatment strategies, often including cognitive behavioural therapy with exposure, Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) using specialised Brainsway dTMS machines and response prevention (ERP) to manage intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours.
Chronic Pain
We work closely with pain specialists to develop personalised treatment plans that may include pain management techniques, medication, rTMS transcranial magnetic stimulation and psychological interventions.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a difficult to treat condition. There is emerging evidence of rTMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation used as a treatment option. Monarch Mental Health Group led by Professor Paul Fitzgerald has a treatment protocol specifically targeted to treat Tinnitus.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Through rigorous assessments, we diagnose BPD and develop treatment plans that often involve psychotherapy approaches for this mental illness like dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) to help manage emotions, improve relationships, and build healthy coping mechanisms.
Bipolar Disorder
We utilise comprehensive assessments to diagnose bipolar disorder and develop treatment plans for mood disorders that may include mood stabilisers, medication management, and psychotherapy to manage mood swings and promote long-term stability. In some cases rTMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation can be used in the treatment of Bipolar Disorder.
Schizophrenia
Our team conducts thorough assessments for this mental health condition and develops treatment plans for this mental health condition that often include a combination of medication management, supportive therapy, and skills training programs to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. In some cases rTMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation can be used in the treatment of negative symptoms of Schizophrenia and or Auditory Hallucinations.
Psychosis
As a symptom of mental illness, we work within a diagnostic framework to identify the underlying cause of psychosis and develop a treatment plan that may involve medication management, psychotherapy, and support services to address the specific needs of the individual.
