About the Mood & Anxiety Program
The Royal’s Mood and Anxiety Program provides specialized treatment for patients with difficult-to-treat mood and anxiety disorders. We support people suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and trauma- and stressor-related disorders.
Services offered
We offer a range of services to support people living with mood and anxiety disorders. Depending on your needs, you may receive a detailed consultation with short-term follow-up or access to more specialized treatment options. Our goal is to provide the right level of care, ensuring each patient receives personalized, evidence-based support at every stage of their journey.
Most patients receive a thorough consultation to confirm a diagnosis and make evidence-based treatment recommendations, including medication and non-medication options. In some cases, short-term follow-up may be offered. While some clients may access allied health services through the Mood and Anxiety Program, ongoing care is the responsibility of the patient’s primary care provider.
For patients requiring the highest level of treatment, options may include inpatient care or access to options such as neurostimulation and ketamine/esketamine through our research program. Treatment plans are tailored to the complexity of each patient’s condition.
Our model emphasizes collaborative care. Patients’ perspectives and experiences are integrated into evidence-based treatment delivered by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in medical, psychological, social and vocational areas.
We work closely with family physicians, community mental health agencies and referring hospitals to support continuity of care beyond The Royal.
