When every day is a struggle

Aesculapius Health Ltd

For adults and adolescents living with mental health problems, every day is a struggle. Relating to the outside world feels like an insurmountable challenge and treatment seems never-ending. Because of this, Dr Rui Mendel uses an open, caring approach underpinned by his philosophy that “less is best”. Patients experience the briefest, most effective treatment possible with the longest lasting benefits. 


When mental and behavioural health problems compromise basic functioning, patients arrive at a crossroads: reach out for support and treatment, or continue as things are. With over 28 years experience as a Psychiatrist, Dr Mendel has treated hundreds of clients, successfully guiding them towards the functional, meaningful life they hope to achieve.

Dr Mendel offers a service giving assessment and treatment for a variety of psychological problems including depression, anxiety, occupational stress, psychological trauma and sleep disorders.

For some patients with depression who have not responded, cannot tolerate medication, or prefer a medication-free treatment, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (TMS) - a non-invasive and effective treatment for depression. We are proud to be the first to make this treatment available in New Zealand.

So, if you, a friend or family member is suffering from a mood, anxiety, stress, or any mental or psychological problem, Aesculapius is an open, caring practice with a wealth of international experience in helping people in distress.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
