Professional background

Dr. Szatmar Horvath is a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of international experience across Europe, the United States, and New Zealand. Now practising in New South Wales, he brings broad expertise across general and older adult psychiatry, early psychosis, dementia, hospital consultation-liaison, and both acute and community care. He has worked extensively in high-acuity settings including psychiatric intensive care, as well as in rehabilitation services, forensic and medico-legal contexts, and insurance-related mental health assessments. With experience across public and private systems—as well as a background in academic teaching and research—Dr. Horvath brings practical knowledge, calm presence, and a clear head (even when things get complex). Other doctors and scientists rely on his work—it’s been cited over 1,000 times—and he’s published in world-leading journals like Nature Medicine, Molecular Psychiatry, and Biological Psychiatry. In short, your care is backed by the latest science, but delivered without the jargon. Patients and families appreciate his respect
