Division of Mental Health and Addiction

The Division encompasses five units organized by research topic, and these units are located at Oslo university Hospital. 

Psychiatric research is primarily concerned with studying the causes, development and distribution of mental disorders in the population.

In addition, an important function of psychiatric research is to test and evaluate different treatment methods, ideally through clinical trials. In other words, the aims of the Division’s research is to better understand mental disorders in order to increase the quality of future treatments and ensure that the treatment methods are evidence-based, i.e. that they have documented effects.
