We provide local-based psychiatric medicine to improve quality of life.

We aim to provide comprehensive treatment/rehabilitation to support social participation of patients with psychiatric diseases to make them feel subjective satisfaction. Based on our extensive clinical experiences in the field of psychiatry, we perform short-term hospitalization to help differential diagnosis of depression using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), cognitive rehabilitation of integration disorder syndrome using cognitive remediation (NEAR), and modified electroconvulsive therapy using pulsed waves. Also, we collaborate with the Department of Neuropediatrics and Counseling Center for Clinical Psychology for long-term follow-up of patients with developmental disability.
