The mood disorders program includes a large, outpatient program, a 24 bed inpatient unit and a robust cohort of researchers. All residents have opportunity to gain skill in the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
The Schizophrenia & Community Integration Service is a large service encompassing three inpatient units, an outpatient case management service, three assertive community treatment (ACT) teams and a First Episode Clinic.
In addition to training opportunities in multi-disciplinary settings, residents have opportunities to participate in a wide spectrum of ongoing research, including:
- Pathways to care, including in ethnic minorities
- Metabolic syndrome
- Relation between substance abuse and schizophrenia
- Neuro-cognition and the neurophysiology of language processing in psychosis
- Protein and genetic indicators for responsiveness to treatment
- Patient preferences for services
- LGBTQ2S+ community and their experience of psychosis
- Community Treatment Order (CTO) process and predictors of success
- Models for testing compounds for treatment, including PCP and amphetamine models
