1st Department(Department of Psychiatry)
Department of Psychiatry provides timely, short-term admissions with high levels of medical care which is planned in coordination with the patient's community. When adequate medical treatment is not available at other facilities, we offer specialized treatment programs which provide original and well tested techniques, especially in the fields of various types of dementia, epilepsy, chronic alcohol and drug dependence, and severe depression which may require modified electroconvulsive therapy (m-ECT). Approximately 900 patients are admitted to our Department each year and we also participate in a psychiatric emergency system operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan government. The forensic unit was opened in July, 2005.
