Psychiatry Center of Excellence

Supporting patients living with a rare or complex psychiatric condition

Orsini’s Psychiatry Center of Excellence launched in 2016 with our first program for shizophrenia. Today we support multiple psychiatry programs across several rare and complex conditions. Our dedicated Therapy Care Teams work with the physician’s office and insurance on a patient’s behalf so that our patients and their family have more time to focus on their treatment and quality of life. We are here to listen, provide counseling on treatment, including side-effect management, and assist with sourcing third-party financial assistance.

About Alcohol Dependence

Alcohol dependence is a chronic and debilitating condition marked by a compulsive need for alcohol consumption despite adverse consequences. Individuals with this disorder develop a tolerance, necessitating increased alcohol intake to experience the desired effects. The inability to control or limit drinking, coupled with withdrawal symptoms when not drinking, characterizes alcohol dependence. It adversely affects physical health, mental well-being, and social relationships, often leading to a cycle of escalating consumption.

About Huntington’s Disease Chorea

Huntington’s disease chorea is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary, jerky movements known as chorea. This hereditary condition results from a mutation in the HTT gene, leading to the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. Chorea involves random, uncontrollable muscle contractions, affecting coordination and voluntary movements. As Huntington’s disease advances, it causes cognitive decline, emotional disturbances, and impaired motor skills. The relentless nature of chorea significantly impacts an individual’s quality of life, requiring comprehensive support and care.
