New South Wales is staring down the barrel of a mental health crisis, with nearly two-thirds of public hospital psychiatrists threatening to resign amid a bitter pay dispute.

As the stalemate continues, the region's healthcare network is under immense pressure, with many calling for urgent action to address the crisis and prevent a mass exodus of skilled psychiatrists, which could exacerbate the mental health services and mental wellbeing of residents.
