La RCP procure aux professionnels de la psychiatrie et de la santé mentale une tribune où partager leurs résultats avec plus de 3 000 autres chercheurs et cliniciens.

La Revue canadienne de psychiatrie offre des articles scientifiques révisés par les pairs qui analysent les développements actuels de la psychiatrie canadienne et internationale. Les chroniques régulières sont entre autres:
• la populaire série «In Review», rédigée par les sommités mondiales de la recherche psychiatrique sur un vaste éventail de sujets biopsychosociaux
• les articles de la série Perspectives qui s’appuient sur des données probantes pour traiter des thèmes controversés, complexes ou émergents;
• la dernière Recherche originale et des Articles de synthèse systématiques;
• des Lettres sur la recherche et des Lettres à la rédaction;
• des Énoncés de principes, des Déclarations de principes, des Énoncés de politique, et des Lignes directrices cliniques de l’Association des psychiatres du Canada.

Tous ces éléments contribuent à la somme des connaissances spécialisées.

Le Journal est lu par des psychiatres, d’autres chercheurs et des universitaires du monde entier, et dénombre 1 642 778 téléchargements et 12 863 abonnements, dont bon nombre par des institutions, en 2021.
