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.

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?

The show grounds have been thoroughly saturated by the heavy rain and there is more forecast to come. We cannot in good conscience ask our sponsors, competitors, tradespeople, food vendors and the public to deal with the extreme deterioration of the grounds if the show went ahead. We're heartbroken.
We understand the disappointment that this will cause in our community.
For those that have entered the show - please visit our website for information about refunds. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we put this process in place.
Thank you for your support through this difficult time. We look forward to putting on a sunny, spectacular show next year.
