Alexian Center for Psychiatric Research

Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital has an active and established program for clinical research trials under the direction of Mark Lerman, MD, Medical Director and Principal Investigator.  The Alexian Brothers Center for Psychiatric Research offers several medication studies to interested and qualified participants who suffer from Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and some addictive disorders.

The goal of the Center is to actively search for new methods to improve the health of patients.  We work in collaboration with drug development companies to research new therapies that can help alleviate the symptoms associated with psychiatric disorders.  These investigational trials help to determine if experimental methods of using new or existing medications are safe and effective.  Read more.
