Professor Anne Buist

Professor Anne Buist is Chair of Women’s Mental Health at the University of Melbourne, with thirty years of clinical and research experience in perinatal psychiatry. With a multi-million dollar grant from Beyond Blue, she established an Australia-wide screening program for perinatal depression. Anne began writing at eight, but medicine intervened until 2012, when she wrote an erotic fiction series (under a pseudonym). This was followed by four crime novels and a standalone thriller, The Long Shadow.
