New Publications from Mass General Psychiatry – July 21, 2023

The Mass General Department of Psychiatry encompasses more than 60 specialty integrated clinical and research programs.  Our wide-ranging research portfolio spans clinical and basic research covering virtually every major psychiatric disorder, as well as the psychiatric consequences of medical illness. 

These initiatives have led to notable expansions in genetics, neuroimaging and basic neuroscience, and this model of cross-talk between clinical care and science has consistently led to research advances that inform and advance clinical care.
