Region Hovedstadens Psykiatri has about 5,000 employees, and treats about 35,000 patients with mental disorders each year, which is about 40% of the total psychiatric treatment given in Denmark.

OPUS teams for early detection and intensive case management of young psychotic patients were established in Aarhus and Copenhagen in 1998 by professor Merete Nordentoft.

Results from follow-up analysis at both one and two years revealed marked improvements in areas such as transition rates from schizotypal disorder to psychotic disorder, positive and negative symptoms, substance abuse, adherence to treatment, satisfaction with treatment, and other clinical and social outcome measures[2][3][4][5] Several research projects are undertaken in Region Hovedstadens Psykiatri.
