The Depression Center operates a small sub-specialty practice where senior faculty from the Department of Psychiatry provide expert consultations for patients with depression and bipolar disorder. Patients receive a comprehensive assessment, recommendations and a treatment plan based on the most current knowledge in the field. Our psychiatrists and psychologists collaborate with the patient to select evidence-based, state-of-the-art interventions to address treatment needs. Most patients eventually transition to a provider in their community for their long-term follow-up care.
