There are times when our ability to cope with daily responsibilities breaks down, making emotional and physical functioning difficult. When a diagnosis of mental illness is made patients and their loved ones often confront many concerns and emotions. Fear. Confusion. Perhaps anger. We understand this. And our Psychiatry Department can help. Mental illness can come from biologic or environmental factors and our treatment plans are designed with this in mind. We offer comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illness for adults and children (both inpatient and outpatient) through programs that apply the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques available. In addition, our care team receives ongoing medical training in applied and clinical psychiatric research from leaders in this highly specialized field. This is a difficult time for you and your loved ones. Why not let us assist you in making the transition back to better health? Through proper diagnosis and treatment you can regain your health and an improved quality of life.
