The Department of Mental Health works for a better understanding and treatment of mental disorders, developmental disorders, substance abuse disorders, rehabilitation, habilitation, and child welfare.

We conduct basic research, applied research, epidemiology, and clinical research in our thematic research groups.

Enhanced knowledge for improved treatment in mental health care

The close collaboration between St. Olavs hospital, municipal health services, child welfare, and our research groups, creates favorable conditions for clinical research.

Our two competence centers, Regional Centre for Child and Youth (RKBU Central Norway) and National Institute on Intellectual Disability and Community (NAKU), have a special responsibility to support the health services.
