Case scenario 1: Sara
Sara is a 41-year-old female married to an Australian citizen and gave birth to her first child, Rebecca, 2 months ago. Sara and her husband relocated to Australia from Syria two years ago. Sara misses her family badly and feels there is not much support for her here in Australia. Her GP referred her to the local mental health service as she has expressed feelings of sadness and worthlessness. She feels guilty as she does not want to spend time with her newborn daughter and does not know why. Sara’s husband, Bob, is often away interstate with work commitments. Although Sara talks to her mum on the phone, who often gives her advice about raising Rebecca, she cannot come down to visit. Sara enters the interview room with Rebecca in the baby capsule. She begins to cry uncontrollably as she is afraid that she may have a mental illness and is fearful of the impact that may have on her relationship with her husband.
