Psychiatry at the Bayview Medical Center

The Department of Psychiatry at The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center is directed by Constantine G. Lyketsos, M.D, M.H.S. and is a central component of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Johns Hopkins Medicine. In addition to treatment programs to serve the community and extensive research programs, the Department has educated Johns Hopkins medical students and residents at Bayview since it opened in 1965. The Department continues to train interns and residents of the Johns Hopkins Psychiatry Residency, as well as medical students and post-doctoral fellows in several subspecialty areas, in both clinical and research programs.
 
Specialty areas at Bayview include chronic mental illness, substance use disorders, geriatric psychiatry, neuropsychiatry (dementia, Alzheimer's and traumatic brain injury), sleep disorders, and behavioral medicine — the interface between psychiatry and other areas of medicine (e.g., burns, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain). Inpatient, partial hospitalization (day hospital) and outpatient programs treat adults, children, and adolescents are available in all these areas. 
 
Bayview Psychiatry is also home to leading research in substance abuse, memory disorders, mind-body interaction, sleep disorders, and behavioral biology. The Bayview Psychiatry faculty hold full-time appointments in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.  In addition, two divisions of the National Institutes of Health are located on the Bayview campus: the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. These programs are integrated into teaching and research at the Bayview Medical Center campus.
