The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three different treatment options for those dealing with treatment-resistant depression.  The three different treatment options are: (1) adding aripiprazole to their current treatment, (2) adding repetitive transcranial magnetic stimula

Significant changes in brain morphology are observed in people with first-episode psychosis. Studies have shown that total brain volume and particular brain structures are decreased in people with psychosis disorders.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) as an alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for Bipolar Disorder (BD).

This trial will compare a novel form of rTMS, intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation to the standard conventional high frequency left sided stimulation protocol. The Left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex will be the site of stimulation in both treatment conditions.

To look at the differences in "social cognition"- the ability to look at the interpret the social world and put yourself in someone else's shoes - between people with depression, people with frontotemporal dementia and healthy controls.

The purpose of this study is to learn about biomarkers (biological features such as proteins, genes, and brain images that indicate the state of a disease in a person), and how they can help predict treatment outcomes in patients with clinical depression. 

The objectives of this 15-day study are:

The perception of music requires coordinated neural activities in distributed multi-functional centers across both hemispheres. The association between musical abilities and other general cognitive functions have been studied in several populations with inconsistent results.

Current Canadian Clinical Practice guidelines emphasize the need for effective psychosocial adjuncts to pharmacotherapy for schizophrenia (Canadian Psychiatric Association 2005).

tDCS (transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) is a brain stimulation technique that involves passing a very low current through the scalp to change the excitability of underlying brain regions. Moreover, yoga and meditation have recently gained popularity for their proposed health benefits.

The purpose of this study is to establish a local registry comprised of patients with Parkinson's Disease and Parkinson Plus Syndromes to mainstream research efforts and find more efficient ways to treat Parkinson's Disease.

This trial evaluates two standard of care treatments for opioid addiction: methadone and buprenorphine/naloxone.  The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of buprenorphine/naloxone as an alternative treatment for prescription opioid disorder.
