NBRHC Neuropsychiatry Clinic

Modelled after clinics that adopt an interdisciplinary approach to brain medicine, the NBRHC Neuropsychiatry Clinic is intended for patients living in Northeastern Ontario with co-occurring psychiatric and neurological symptoms, particularly those with cognitive deficits. We conduct cognitive assessments, order relevant investigations (imaging, genetic testing), diagnose psychiatric conditions including neurocognitive disorders, and offer treatment recommendations.
