Clinic Services
The Neuropsychiatry Outpatient Clinic works with the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders (schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, mood disorders, depressive bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, panic disorder and psychiatric symptoms associated with neurodegenerative diseases). The diagnostic therapy provides an initial clinical interview according to psychiatric standards and neurological diagnostic hypothesis, followed by administration of questionnaires and tests carried out to obtain a detailed psychopathologic, cognitive and functional profile of the patient. In particular Clinic specializes in early detection of these types of disorders and their prevention.
Cognitive Disorders and Dementias
Within the Special Diagnostic Center for Cognitive Disorders and Dementias the Outpatient Clinic makes specialized investigations regarding the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of brain aging, initial forms of cognitive impairment and dementia (Alzheimer's disease, Front temporal issues, Lewy Body Dementia, Cerebrovascular and other disorders). Particular care is taken in analyzing the structural and functional brain correlations of these disorders using neuroimaging techniques (MRI), both conventional and advanced non-conventional techniques. The rehabilitation of mental and cognitive disorders is done using innovative techniques, many developed in research projects funded by the Ministry of Health and the European Community.
