Ourbestminds are focusedonnew treatments inpsychiatry.
Knowledge transforms, illuminates, and unlocks the door to the science
of mental illness. Over the past 30 years, UPMC’s Western Psychiatric
Institute and Clinic (WPIC) has set the standard for innovative clinical care
including pioneering short- and long-term treatment approaches. We have
incorporated both pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic regimens that
are standards of care in behavioral health today. As the number one
recipient of federal psychiatric research funding and with a history of
clinical advances, our psychiatrists’ findings have informed their colleagues’
practices across the country. WPIC clinicians and researchers have shed
light on mental illness across the lifespan and have created new tools for
managing pervasive developmental disorders, addictions, mood and
anxiety disorders, geriatric psychiatry, and eating disorders. Our specialized
clinical programs tackle the most complex cases, with teams who specialize
in psychiatry, psychopharmacology, clinical psychology, and neurology
assessing and crafting complete, individualized procedure plans. WPIC
psychiatrists provide treatment based on current scientific advances so
thosewithmental illness can livehealthierandmoreproductive lives.
