Clinics Research Staff Patient Information A - Z Glossary Map & Directions Health Professionals
UHN’s Neuropsychiatry program has links with all other areas of the Krembil Neuroscience Centre and is involved in research activities, including studies of pain and Parkinson’s disease. Our patient care and research is based on understanding neurological disorders as more than simply disorders that affect the nerves, we are dedicated to better understanding how these conditions have an impact on an individual’s behaviour and emotional well-being.
Research
Through the Krembil Neuroscience Centre and Toronto Western Research Institute, we focus particularly in the areas of:
- Neurodevelopmental problems in children: specializing in Tourette’s syndrome, attention deficit disorder, and other behavioural problems
- Sleep disorders: one of Canada’s largest sleep programs, addressing problems such as panic attacks during sleep, insomnia, breathing problems and epileptic seizures during sleep
- Brain injuries: a predominately community-based program, treating individuals with mild to severe brain injuries
- Epilepsy: linked with the Neurology department, this program addresses emotional and psychological aspects of this disorder in children and adults
