Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Director OZAKI, Norio (Professor)   2E
Our goal is to help children with mental health issues find a promising future
We perform diagnosis and treatment of developmental disorders and emotional disorders in children 18 years old or younger with the goal of improving their mental health.

Our System of Medical Care

To ensure sufficient time for consultation and interviews, we have implemented a reservation only system for new and returning patients. Patients making their first visit are required to make an appointment via telephone with the outpatient clinic of our department.

Target Disease

We provide medical care for developmental problems in infancy such as retardation in language and development, hyperactivity, poor adaptation to peer groups, and inability to establish a good relationship with peers about the same age as well as psychological problems in childhood and adolescence such as the inability to go to school or eat normally.

A Strong Clinical Knowledge

Our staff members have a strong clinical knowledge of developmental and emotional disorders which occur in the life stages from infancy to adolescence. We perform multidimensional treatment consisting of pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and the like. We also conduct evaluations using measures such as psychological tests. Our staff maintain a vigorous interest in the current state of research and modern therapies for the complete range of issues facing our patients.

Clinical Results

To address the increasing incidence of children's mental problems, we provide the latest treatment mainly on an outpatient basis. In addition, we are actively cooperating with mental clinics and hospitals where children's mental problems are handled.

Advanced Medicine and Research

While investigating the best diagnosis and treatment methods at present, our basic policy is to seek to identify the pathology and develop treatments and preventive methods based on the pathology identified. In order to translate the latest advances in knowledge about children's mental problems into clinical practice, we keep our medical staff trained to the highest medical level.
