Moriyama General Psychosomatic Hospital

Moriyama General Psychosomatic Hospital (もりやま総合心療病院) is a private psychiatric hospital located in Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by Hasseikai Medical Corporation (医療法人八誠会), a specified medical corporation recognized by the National Tax Agency since March 1995. The hospital traces its origins to 1952 (Showa 27), when it was founded as Moriyama-so Hospital (守山荘病院). In May 2016 it changed its name to Moriyama General Psychosomatic Hospital to reflect a broader commitment to high-quality acute care and comprehensive rehabilitation. The hospital provides psychiatric, neurological and psychosomatic medicine services. Its clinical scope covers depression, dementia, insomnia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder, among other conditions. It operates a memory clinic (もの忘れ外来) and, since 2012, has run a Dementia Disease Medical Center under commission from the City of Nagoya, focusing on early diagnosis and treatment of dementia and associated psychiatric symptoms. The hospital states that Lewy body dementia was first discovered in the world through research conducted at its institution. Care is delivered through a multidisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, psychiatric social workers, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists and registered dietitians. The hospital emphasizes acute-phase treatment, having opened an acute care ward in 1999 with a system designed to enable discharge within three months. It also offers day care, occupational therapy, welfare support, and family education classes (家族教室) to support patients and their families. Beyond the main hospital, Hasseikai Medical Corporation operates related services including Ozone Mental Clinic (opened around 2015 near Ozone Station), the visiting nursing station Time (訪問看護ステーションたいむ, launched in 2021), a dementia care center, employment support, group homes, and community support centers. The hospital is located at 11-50 Machikita, Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, and is accessible by Meitetsu Seto Line, city bus, JR Chuo Line, and the Yutorito Line guideway bus.

Moriyama General Psychosomatic Hospital was founded in 1952 (Showa 27) as Moriyama-so Hospital (守山荘病院). From its inception, it aimed to provide high-quality psychiatric care rooted in the local community under the hospital philosophy of "practicing sincere and open medicine and contributing to the community." In March 1995, the operating entity, Hasseikai Medical Corporation, received approval as a specified medical corporation (特定医療法人) from the National Tax Agency, recognizing its high public benefit and publicly oriented management. In 1999, the hospital opened an acute care ward (急性期治療病棟), establishing a system to enable discharge within three months. In 2012, it began operating a Dementia Disease Medical Center under commission from the City of Nagoya, focusing on early diagnosis and treatment of dementia and associated psychiatric symptoms. The hospital has long been active in dementia research and states that Lewy body dementia was first discovered in the world through research conducted at its institution. Around 2015, Hasseikai opened Ozone Mental Clinic (大曽根メンタルクリニック) near Ozone Station. On May 10, 2016, the hospital changed its name from Moriyama-so Hospital to Moriyama General Psychosomatic Hospital (もりやま総合心療病院), reflecting its commitment to high-quality acute care and comprehensive rehabilitation. In 2021, the corporation launched a visiting nursing station, Time (訪問看護ステーションたいむ). The hospital has actively incorporated advances in psychiatric medicine, including second-generation antipsychotics such as risperidone (available in Japan since 1996), olanzapine and aripiprazole, and clozapine for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It maintains close collaboration with Nagoya University Hospital, Fujita Health University Hospital and other specialized institutions for clinical practice and research. Today, Hasseikai Medical Corporation operates a range of services including the main hospital, clinics, visiting nursing, welfare services, consultation services, community living support, and a dementia care center, all aimed at realizing a symbiotic society.
