We provide treatments for various psychiatric disorders caused by central nerve dysfunction or by psychosocial stressors. Specializing psychiatrists perform diagnoses, examinations, rational pharmacological treatments, and psychotherapy so that patients and families can improve their quality of life. We also aim to contribute to clarification of the causes and pathologies of those psychiatric disorders.
