Clinical Research Center

We offer patients
with severe mental disorders state-of-the-art evaluations, new and advanced
treatments, and extended inpatient care in a convenient, safe, and comfortable
environment.
Our immediate goal
is to relieve the suffering of the mentally ill patients in our clinical
research programs. At the same time, we help introduce new treatments
into general mental health practice. Most importantly, every patient
we treat contributes to the base of scientific knowledge necessary to
develop cures. Our research promises to bring hope to patients with
severe mental illness and to set new standards for mental health care.
We are currently working on projects which include: Repetitive Transcranial
Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for treatment of depression, new treatments
for mania, GABA treatments for schizophrenia, atypical antipsychotics
for water intoxication, and sensory gating and genetic studies in psychotic
patients.
