Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program

The Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program has gained an international reputation over the past 30 years for its high caliber of research. Our researchers specialize in studying the causes of, and latest treatments for, mood and anxiety disorders. We are continually working on new medication treatment programs that will help people cope with mental health problems that could otherwise be debilitating.

By studying both marketed and investigational medications, our researchers are working to establish the safety and effectiveness of new medications as well as look for better and/or new ways to use and prescribe current medications. The most satisfying part of our research is knowing that we play a part in bringing patients the up-to-date advances in diagnosis and medication treatment. Our goal is to help our patients feel better!

Services
Our research group specializes in studying causes and treatments of depression and anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety, social phobia, panic disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
