Causes and treatments of psychosis, a syndrome associated with a variety of mental, behavioural and emotional problems.

Research is an integral part of PEPP-Montréal. It aims at furthering our understanding of psychotic disorders and their impact on patients and their families and at developing and evaluating new treatment and prevention approaches.

Fellowships provide support for senior residents who wish to add to their experience by engaging in mental health research and related activities in the Institute. Candidacy must be approved by the Chair of Psychiatry.
