Partners and Carers mental health checklist
Your results
Results
These checklist results show that it is possible that your loved one is experiencing perinatal anxiety and/or depression, or may be experiencing some difficulties in the transition to parenthood.
This checklist does not give a diagnosis, only a health professional can provide this.
You can download a PDF copy of your checklist results using the button below.
If your loved one has indicated that they feel physically and/or emotionally unsafe at home or in their relationship, help is available. Please call 1800 737 732 (1800 RESPECT).
If you are worried about your partner or loved one’s emotional wellbeing, we encourage you to talk with them about your concerns. You can also seek support or advice yourself, for example from a friend, family member or health professional.

Talk with friends or family
Consider talking about how you are feeling with someone you trust. This might be a friend or family member. Once you start talking you might be surprised at how many others have had similar experiences and the support they can provide you.
Talk with your doctor
Talking with your doctor can be an important step to getting the help you need. They should be able to give you non-judgemental support, assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing care and treatment. They can also refer you to specialists such as a counsellor, psychologist or psychiatrist.
