Studying mental disorders from biological, psychological, and social perspectives
The Endowed Department of Psychiatric Medicine is introduced on the same website as the psychiatry department of the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine.
The website is shared with the divisions of Psychiatry, Developmental and Geriatric Psychiatry, Psychiatry for Parents and Children, and Elucidation of the Pathophysiology of Mental Disorders.
The psychiatry department's research overview covers schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dementia, and more.
This page covers three of the research topics in that overview: neuropathology, clinical pharmacology and epidemiology, and child psychiatry.

*Illustrative imageMental Disorders in Older Adults and Neuropathology
The lab conducts clinical research on mental disorders of late life and studies the pathology of older adults with dementia. It also conducts neuropathological research on late-life mental disorders and schizophrenia.
*Illustrative imageClinical Pharmacology and Epidemiology of Delirium and Related Conditions
The lab uses epidemiological methods to study the psychopathology and psychopharmacology of conditions such as delirium. Schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder, and sleep disorders are studied from the perspectives of clinical pharmacology and epidemiology.
*Illustrative imageResearch on Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children
The lab studies the biological basis of neurodevelopmental disorders (genetics, cognitive function, and neurophysiology), as well as their diagnosis, assessment, and intervention. It also works on co-occurring physical conditions, the need for genetic testing and genetic counseling, and the development and evaluation of a child psychiatry training program.
