These are Columbia Psychiatry Programs designed to enhance collaboration and integration across clinical, education, research, and community service missions.
The program brings together clinicians, educators, and researchers who focus on cognition and psychosis across disorders and the lifespan.
The program supports a cutting-edge scientific program in computational psychiatry that facilitates impactful scientific advances through innovation, collaboration, and education.
The program focuses on the influence of social, cultural, structural, and environmental factors on mental health, as well as the ability of individuals and communities to transform them.
The program unites department members focused on improving outcomes for children, adolescents and adults with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and stress-related conditions.
The program is dedicated to understanding and treating conditions – such as substance use, eating, obsessive-compulsive, and personality disorders – that are characterized by unwanted or unhelpful behaviors.
