Can anyone suggest a good regular GP in Cairns who does home visits for mental health? My partner suffers terrible social anxiety, he hasn't worked in years and he rarely leaves the house. We have 2 kids and he has missed out on so much with them and the kids have missed out on having their dad at special events, it's heart breaking for all of us. He wants to get help and has tried online and over the phone councilling but that only does so much. He feels ready to see a doctor but he mentally cannot get himself there. I've tried looking up doctors who come to the house but all I can see is Dial a doctor and I would want to be able to have the same doctor come and see him until he feels able to go to a clinic. If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it. TIA.

Telehealth is an option for GP/Psychiatrist, you are able to book in with the same ones depending on who you go through x Might be worthwhile asking for a Psychologist who would be willing to do home visits too as we do sometimes depending on circumstances x
