The New York State Psychiatric Institute offers a wide range of clinical services, for individuals with schizophrenia, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, anxiety disorders, and other conditions. Most treatment occurs in the context of research studies. Inpatient care is provided on two research units and one clinical unit.
Our outpatient research clinics treat a wide range of psychiatric disorders and serve adults, children and the elderly. In general, people eligible to participate in our studies can receive treatment at no cost. In addition, the Washington Heights Community Service provides inpatient and outpatient treatment to residents of upper Manhattan.
New York State Psychiatric Institute prides itself on providing quality care to patients. All clinical programs are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
