[H2] Research Milestones

[H3] 1974

Dr. Philip Seeman discovers the effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs is directly related to their ability to block the dopamine D2 receptor. This opens the way to a scientific explanation for the drugs’ reactions. His papers are among the most highly cited in the schizophrenia literature.

[H3] 1977

The Addiction Research Foundation (now part of CAMH) is named the first World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre in the field of drugs and alcohol. This international collaborative role continues today; in 2008, CAMH research underlies WHO’s adoption of the Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol.

[H3] 1977

Addiction Research Foundation develops RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving in Etobicoke) as a pilot project beginning Oct. 1, 1977. Today RIDE (now Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) is used by police across the country.

[H3] 1992

Opening of Canada’s first PET (positron emission tomography) Centre dedicated to medical imaging research in mental illness. Over the following decade, CAMH’s PET Centre develops several ligands (illuminating radiotracer agents) commonly used in human neuroscience.

[H3] 1998

Merger of four organizations to form the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH): Queen Street Mental Health Centre, Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, Donwood Institute, and Addiction Research Foundation—a pioneering move recognizing the interconnected nature of mental illness and addiction.

[H3] 2005

CAMH scientists identify a new variant of the gene that causes Rett syndrome, a serious neurodevelopmental disorder that affects almost exclusively females. The discovery is translated into a licensed diagnostic tool for the disease currently available to the public.

[H3] 2006

CAMH PET studies reveal that most antidepressants miss the key target—serotonin receptors—for treating clinical depression. The discovery establishes a standard that anti-depressants being developed for the market be 80 per cent effective in hitting this target.

[H3] 2006

Opening of the Krembil Family Epigenetics Laboratory at CAMH—the first psychiatric epigenetics lab in the world exploring the “switches” that turn genes on or off, for example, the impact of nutrition and stress.

[H3] 2008

CAMH opens Canada’s first pharmacogenetics clinic, dedicated to understanding the genetics of people’s response to psychiatric medication and the side-effects they experience. Its vision is a new era of personalized medicine for people living with all forms of mental illness, including addiction.

[H3] 2008

CAMH researchers discover the first concrete genetic linkage to schizophrenia via a subtype of the disease called Deletion Syndrome (22qDS).

[H3] 2010

CAMH scientists demonstrate that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy provides equivalent protection against depressive relapse as traditional antidepressant medication.

[H3] 2010

CAMH scientists discover higher levels of a brain protein called monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) in women after childbirth, providing a possible explanation for why postpartum blues and clinical depression occur. Using this knowledge, scientists begin developing supplements to target this loss of nutrients and lower the risk of postpartum depression.

[H3] 2011

Using brain imaging and genetics, CAMH scientists identify a variation of a gene that may play a role in late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

[H3] 2011

CAMH launches first mobile research laboratory to study mental health in rural, remote and First Nations communities across Ontario.

[H3] 2012

The Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute at CAMH, dedicated to understanding brain structure and function to identify the causes and best treatments for mental illness, including addiction, officially opens.

[H3] 2012

CAMH opens the Temerty Centre for Therapeutic Brain Intervention to research innovative non-invasive brain stimulation treatments, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and magnetic stimulation therapy.

[H3] 2014

Campbell Institute scientists are part of a large international team that identifies 108 genetic variants associated with schizophrenia.

[H3] 2015

Through brain imaging, Campbell Institute scientists show brain inflammation occurring during major depressive episodes. The finding provides a potential new target for depression treatment, as current therapeutics do not target inflammation.

[H3] 2015

Opening of the Cundill Centre for Child and Youth Depression, the first global centre dedicated to child and youth depression.

[H3] Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Research
At CAMH, we know that inclusive research is better research. Advancing mental health science means ensuring that every discovery reflects the diverse communities we serve - and actively working to eliminate the systemic barriers that prevent equitable participation and impact.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are central to how we conduct, support, and apply research. From study design to knowledge translation, CAMH Research is embedding inclusive values at every stage of the research process.

Learn more

[H5] Advancing Equity Through Targeted Initiatives
Our commitment is exemplified through initiatives like:
womenmind™ - a community of philanthropists, researchers, and leaders working to close the gender gap in mental health research. womenmind is helping to build a future where women researchers thrive and where sex and gender differences are prioritized in scientific inquiry.
The BRIDGES (Building Research and Innovation through Diversity, Growth, Equity and Sustainability) initiative leverages CAMH’s hospital-based research programs to improve mental health outcomes in Black and Indigenous communities, underprivileged youth, as well as other marginalized groups. BRIDGES offers funded research opportunities for Black, Indigenous, and racialized trainees and early-career scientists, and grant competitions focused on studying mental health and substance abuse in underrepresented groups.
The Koerner Centre for Research Training (KCRT) supports the next generation of leaders in mental health and substance use through building key knowledge and skills, informed by current best practices in adult education and centred on EDI principles.
The Azrieli Centre for Adult Neurodevelopment is the first research and education centre in Canada focused on improving care for adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and mental health challenges. It is making major progress in identifying the needs of adults with disabilities, developing best practices, and training a new generation of clinicians and researchers to support people who have been historically underserved.
Shkaabe Makwa is the first hospital-based centre in Canada designed to drive culturally responsive systems to achieve health justice and wellness for First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities through the advancement of research, workforce development, and innovative healing models that harmonize traditional knowledge and medical expertise.
The Research Patient and Family Engagement Core supports the engagement of people with lived experience and family members (PWLE/F) as partners in research. It has been so successful, it is now common practice to include patients and families in clinical research at CAMH.

[H5] How We're Putting EDI Into Action
CAMH Research is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion through:
Inclusive hiring, promotion, and leadership development to ensure equitable representation at all levels of research.
Capacity building and mentorship opportunities that support equity-deserving researchers and trainees.
Engagement of people with lived and living experience to co-design studies and ensure research is relevant, respectful, and impactful.
Addressing structural biases in research practices, funding systems, and data collection.
Creating an inclusive research culture where diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but drive innovation.

CAMH operates central clinical and research facilities in Toronto. Our 24/7 Psychiatric Emergency Department is located at 1051 Queen Street West. We also have 10 locations throughout the province that provide communities with education and support for program development, health promotion and prevention.
[H5] Visitors are welcome at CAMH.
To keep you, our patients, and our staff safe, and to minimize the spread of infectious diseases, all visitors must:
Enter through a public entrance.
Review the infection control self-screening questions posted at building entrances.
Clean your hands with hand sanitizer.
Wear a CAMH-provided mask in mask-mandatory areas.
If you are planning to visit CAMH and you feel unwell, please delay visiting until you have recovered.
Visitors and families do not need to provide proof of being vaccinated against COVID-19.
[H5] Visiting patients at CAMH
We welcome and encourage families and friends to visit patients at CAMH to support their loved ones’ care and recovery. Visitors under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult visitor.
Please contact your loved one’s care team if you would like to arrange a visit.
Patients can have visitors after they are admitted, with their care team’s approval. If a patient is potentially infected with COVID-19 or another highly transmissible disease, the patient’s care team will help facilitate virtual visits until the patient is no longer contagious.
[H5] Visiting Information and Hours
Typically, visits are not to occur during the hours of 10:00pm-7:00am. Care teams will work collaboratively with patients and their families to accommodate visits, taking into consideration the needs of their units (e.g., availability of appropriate resources (i.e., meeting space, staffing), other co-patient family visits, the need to have scheduled visits (i.e., booking visits 24 hours ahead of time to support unit operations), IPAC considerations, etc.).
In extraordinary instances where an in-person visit cannot be accommodated, at a particular time, the care team shall offer to arrange a virtual visit, until such time an in-person visit can be arranged. All visitors must record their arrival and departure times in the Family and Visitor Sign-in Sheet.
Lawyers, the psychiatric patient advocate and clergy are encouraged to notify the inpatient unit in advance of an anticipated visit so that appropriate arrangements can be made for the visit.
For information about how to contact specific CAMH units or care teams, please call the CAMH switchboard:
416-535-8501 (calling from the GTA)
1-800-463-2338 (Toll-free)
All visits may be restricted in response to increase in general risk of infectious disease transmission.
Visitors who wish to appeal a decision to deny or restrict visits may do so by contacting CAMH’s Patient and Family Experience Office at 416 535-8501 ext. 32028 or at pfe@camh.ca.
[H5] Accessibility
We are committed to eliminating differences in health status between groups and creating a diverse and inclusive environment. Our policies are intended to ensure that all members of the CAMH community understand the benefits of achieving accessibility for people with disabilities, and know the rights and responsibilities of employees, volunteers, physicians, students, clients and visitors with regard to accessibility and client service. Learn more about accessibility at CAMH.
CAMH is in the midst of an exciting redevelopment of our Queen Street site, where most of our services will be consolidated in the future. Once construction is complete, our new buildings will have enhanced accessibility features.
[H5] Cultural Interpretation Services (CIS) including American Sign Language (ASL/FSL) interpretation
CAMH clients have access to trained professional interpreters in a range of situations, including assessments, consultations, intake and meetings. The interpreters facilitate communication between service providers and clients whose preferred language is not English and clients who are deaf. Usually your service provider will arrange for interpretation services; please let them know what you need.
[H5] Tobacco-Free
CAMH is committed to promoting safety and wellness through reducing the incidents of smoking triggers, reducing exposure to second-hand smoke, and increasing awareness of the impact tobacco use has on others.

[IMG: Alert]
Redevelopment Update

Our fourth and final stage of our historic redevelopment is underway, with the construction of two new buildings at the south-east section of the Queen Street site. See a map below and check out www.camh.ca/redevelopment for more information.

[IMG: Alert]
Masking Update

We are lifting the requirements for masking during direct patient care effective Monday, March 17th.
Your safety, and our patients’ and families’ safety, are our top priority at CAMH. This change aligns with recommendations from the Toronto Region IPAC medical directors and reflects a seasonal approach to masking that prioritizes flexibility based on respiratory virus activity.
Moving forward, CAMH will follow this approach, reinstating masking as needed based on public health trends and risk assessments. We will continue to evaluate masking practices as risk-levels change in the coming months, and we expect to reinstate masking for the autumn/winter respiratory season, in accordance with provincial guidance.

CAMH will continue to be a mask-friendly environment for everyone who chooses to wear a mask. Please use a CAMH-provided mask, which you can find at masking stations throughout the hospital, welcome desks, and nursing stations;
If you would like CAMH staff or volunteers to wear a mask when they interact with you, please let them know and they will put on a mask;
To keep our patients, visitors and staff safe, there may be situations when you are required to wear a mask. If this happens, a CAMH staff member will explain the situation to you and provide you with a mask;
If you have any questions or concerns about masking at CAMH, please speak to a staff member or connect with our Patient and Family Experience team at (416) 535-8501 ext. 32028, or pfe@camh.ca.
