Looking After Your Heart and Mind

After experiencing a cardiac event such as a heart attack or cardiac surgery, it’s common to feel increased anxiety or depression, often referred to as the ‘Cardiac Blues.’ These feelings are a natural part of recovery and usually improve as your health stabilises. However, if they persist or worsen, it’s important to seek support.

Mental Health Support: Ramsay Psychology Bundoora, located just 20 minutes from Northern Private, offers experienced therapists who can help you navigate your emotional recovery. No referral is needed.
