About
Nanjing Brain Hospital, founded in 1947 as China's national psychiatric and neurological institute, is one of the country's premier brain-disease institutions, nationally ranked in the top ten for psychiatry. Uniquely, it combines top-tier psychiatry with equally serious neurology and neurosurgery under one roof on Guangzhou Road in central Nanjing.
History & scale
Created in 1947 as the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, the hospital carries one of Chinese neuropsychiatry's founding legacies. Affiliated with Nanjing Medical University, it has developed parallel strengths across the full brain-disease spectrum — psychiatric wards, a large neurology service, functional neurosurgery and medical psychology — serving Jiangsu Province and drawing referrals from across eastern China.
Star specialties
Psychiatry covers the complete range with particular depth in mood disorders, early psychosis intervention and child mental health. Neurology is a genuine second flagship: epilepsy diagnosis and treatment including presurgical evaluation, Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, cerebrovascular disease and cognitive disorders. Functional neurosurgery bridges the two — epilepsy surgery and deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's — a combination few Chinese hospitals integrate this well. Medical psychology, sleep medicine and rehabilitation complete the platform.
Achievements & recognition
A national top-ten psychiatry program descended from China's founding neuropsychiatric institute, the hospital is among the few in China performing integrated epilepsy surgery and deep brain stimulation programs alongside full psychiatric services.
International services
International patients most often come for the neurology-psychiatry interface: epilepsy evaluation, Parkinson's management, unexplained neurological-psychiatric symptoms. Consultations run in Chinese; our companions are briefed for the longer, detail-heavy consultations these conditions involve, and imaging and EEG records are translated and transferred properly.
Why choose this hospital
Choose Nanjing Brain Hospital when your condition sits between neurology and psychiatry — epilepsy with mood complications, Parkinson's with cognitive change, or diagnostically unclear brain disease — and you want both specialties, plus the surgery that serves them, in one institution.
