Services & Patient Care

Clinical services and institutional consulting are at the center of the mission of the Yale Department of Psychiatry, alongside excellence in teaching and research. Through Yale New Haven Health, Connecticut Mental Health Center, the VA Connecticut Healthcare System in West Haven, Yale Medicine, Yale Behavioral Health, and other clinics, the department hosts groundbreaking programs specializing in mental health and substance abuse treatment. We treat people of all ages, from adolescents through geriatrics, and our specialists treat most brain illnesses, from psychoses and major affective disorders to personality and addictive disorders. We are a nationally recognized provider of clinical and institutional consulting and expertise. These clinical programs are intimately interwoven with the training and research missions of the department.
