OVERVIEW / WHAT WE DO

The Interventional Psychiatry Program at St. Michael’s Hospital specializes in the treatment of mood and co-morbid disorders. We offer novel interventional and psychopharmacological treatments for major depressive disorder and other psychiatric disorders where previous treatments have been unsuccessful. Some of these treatments include intravenous ketamine, repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy, and other emerging anesthetic and neurostimulation modalities.

We are also conducting a number of research studies with a goal of improving the way that mood disorders are diagnosed and treated using novel interventions and digital platforms.
