Introduction to Research in the Division of General Psychiatry

As would be expected from a large and diverse group, there are several lines of research being pursued within the Division of General Psychiatry.

Our first episode-early intervention and general programs are at the forefront of producing high impact clinical outcomes and health services & policy research.

A number of members are actively engaged in smart health technologies research, psychopharmacological and non-pharmacological trials including meditation and neurostimulation interventions. 

Cognition and emotional processing studies, sometimes in conjunction with brain imaging research are conducted within the division. 

Suicide-related research is a priority area within the division. 

Several division members are actively engaged in educational scholarship, and there is a growing emphasis on research within the division in the areas of Indigenous mental health and health systems innovation.
