A note on using this site.
Everything published here is general information, written to help readers understand mental health conditions, treatment options and what to expect from psychiatry and psychotherapy.
General information only
The content on drsangeethamakielan.com.au — including page text, blog articles, FAQ answers and downloadable resources — is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not intended to replace consultation with a qualified clinician about your individual situation.
Reading the site, contacting either clinic, or starting a referral process does not establish a therapist-patient or psychiatrist-patient relationship. That relationship begins only after an in-person or telehealth consultation has taken place and Dr Makielan has accepted you as a patient.
Do not delay seeking help
Do not delay or avoid seeking professional medical or psychiatric advice based on information you've read here. If you have a clinical concern about yourself or someone in your care, please contact your GP, a qualified mental health professional, or one of the crisis services listed.
This practice is not a crisis service. If you're in immediate danger, call 000 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.
External links and references
Links to third-party websites — including clinic websites, professional bodies and crisis support services — are provided for convenience. Dr Makielan is not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of those external resources.
Personal information
This website does not host a contact form, does not capture personal health information, and does not require an account to use. Standard server logs are kept by the hosting provider for security and performance.
Aggregate visitor analytics are collected via a privacy-friendly, cookieless service that records page views without identifying you personally. No marketing cookies, third-party tracking pixels or behavioural advertising tags are used.
Clinical records, if you become a patient, are held by the treating clinic (Blue Fig Clinic or Dolphin Tribe) and are governed by each clinic's own privacy policy and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
