CHIRS' Neuropsychiatric Services are offered by Dr. Chanth Seyone and his team at the Acquired Brain Injury Clinic.
Acquired Brain Injury Clinic
Specialized neuropsychiatric services are provided
to individuals who have sustained a brain injury
through the unique collaboration of the Acquired
Brain Injury Clinic, Neuropsychiatry Program at the
Toronto Western Hospital, University Health Network
and Community Head Injury Resource Services of
Toronto (CHIRS). These neuropsychiatric services
address the complication of psychological and
psychiatric disorders affecting some individuals who
have sustained a brain injury.
Neuropsychiatric Services
Through the Acquired Brain Injury Clinic, Dr. Seyone
offers a focused and multi-disciplinary approach to
assist individuals who have experienced a brain
injury. Individuals are assessed and may be provided
with long-term treatment for chronic and disabling
post-brain injury psychiatric manifestations. Where
appropriate, families are included in the assessment
and the ongoing treatment of the individual.
Dr. Seyone provides on-site education and guidance
to CHIRS staff via regular attendance at residential
team meetings, in-house neuropsychiatric clinics
and inon-callli support. In addition he lends his
experience and expertise in the development and
implementation of CHIRS' programs and services.
As a participant on CHIRS' Ethical Review
Committee, Dr. Seyone provides the
neuropsychiatric perspective for CHIRS' clinical and
practical standards.
The Acquired Brain Injury Clinic is complemented by
a number of comprehensive programs such as
clinics devoted to sleep and alertness as well as the
Sleep Research Unit. The Acquired Brain Injury
Clinic can also access specialists investigating the
treatment of patients suffering from Epilepsy,
Parkinson's Disease and Tourette's Syndrome who
have psychological and neuropsychiatric difficulties
such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, personality
change and cognitive decline. If needed, referral to
other medical specialists can also be made. The
clinic is also able to address legal issues and carry
out assessments for other interested parties.
CHIRS is proud to be a cofounder of this ground
breaking program.
