UHN’s neuropsychiatry program includes neuropsychiatrists and neuropsychologists with expertise in sleep disorders, brain injuries, epilepsy, Tourette’s syndrome and neurodevelopmental problems in children. Our program has links with all other areas of the Krembil Neuroscience Centre to provide the best diagnosis and care.

Neuropsychiatry

Neuropsychiatry the relationship between the brain and the mind. This specialty brings together knowledge about physical parts of the brain and how they are connected to our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. For example, brain injuries caused by accidents and other neurological conditions such as epilepsy or Parkinson’s Disease can lead to psychological problems such as depression, anger or behaviour problems. By understanding how diseases and injuries of the brain are connected to our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, we can develop counseling and drug therapies to help patients cope with these disorders.
