About us

The Discipline of Psychiatry at Tampere University advances research, education, and clinical collaboration across the full spectrum of mental health.

Our work integrates neuroscience, clinical epidemiology, psychotherapy research, and health services science. We conduct large-scale, registry-based and pragmatic studies to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and accessibility of psychiatric treatments. A particular focus lies in developing scalable, evidence-based interventions within real-world service systems. We collaborate closely with wellbeing services counties and university hospitals to ensure translational impact.

We are ambitious in developing education in mental health both nationally and internationally. Our educational mission spans undergraduate medical training, specialization training in psychiatry, doctoral supervision, and developing digital learning systems.

Through research, teaching, and societal engagement, we aim to shape a more effective and sustainable mental health system.
