The Chang Gung Medical Center Department of Psychiatry was founded in 1978  by Dr. Simon Lee,  who had worked as a staff psychiatrist in United States for 5 years.    After 30 years, it has  become one of the best academic psychiatric departments in TAIWAN.   Currently, the Department has three major components: 
1. Section of General Psychiatry , 
2. Section of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. and
3. Section of Rehabilitation & Community Psychiatry , 
          There are also two centers in the Department: 
1. Center for Suicide Prevention , and 
2. Psychotherapy and Counseling Center (at Taoyuan Branch) 


It is an interdisciplinary behavioral sciences department, which serves as a teaching, research  and medical service center of mental health. 

The Department has three outpatient centers (at Taipei, Linko, and Taoyuan branch), an acute inpatient unit with 25 beds, a day care center for adult psychotic patients and another day care center for children with autism.  In the Taoyuan branch, we also have a long stay ward with 100 beds.

The clinical programs serve a large and diverse population. We are also concerned with family, and other social facts affecting mental health, and with the moral issues that arise in the practice of modern medicine.
