 What We Do

The Poul Hansen Family Centre for Depression is UHN's clinic specializing in depression and mood disorders treatment. We provide expert assessment, diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations for patients across Ontario. Patients may also access clinical research trials offering cutting-edge care and novel treatment options.

Our research includes novel pharmacological molecules, brain stimulation and medications that have previously been applied for other disorders. Our team includes clinical research psychiatrists who are experts in mood disorders and are dedicated to advancing care for all patients with diagnosed or suspected psychiatric illness.

All patients will be seen for consultation and assessed for any suitable clinical research trials that may be appropriate for their presentation. Patients of the Depression Centre may be referred internally for access to the centralized psychotherapy service of the Centre for Mental Health.

The overall goal of our Centre is to provide you with care as soon as you need it.​​
