Today we recognize World Bipolar Day—a day to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and honor the lived experiences of those navigating bipolar disorder.

Observed on the birthday of Vincent van Gogh, this day reminds us that brilliance and struggle can exist side by side, and that mental health deserves understanding, compassion, and care.

Let’s keep the conversation going, support one another and advocate for a world where no one feels alone in their journey.

UTHealth Psychiatry

Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at McGovern Medical School. Our team of faculty and staff is dedicated to our missions of education, research and patient care.

Through education, we train the students, residents and fellows of today to become the mental health care leaders of tomorrow – whether in public or private sectors, in solo or group practice, as researchers, educators or clinicians. Our training programs include general psychiatry residency, child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship and psychology internship. Our faculty members are also involved in the medical school program through their behavioral sciences course, clinical clerkships and fourth-year elective rotations.

In research, our faculty and staff are at the forefront of the exploration of the causes of and treatments for mental illness. Great strides have been made in recent years through research – some at our institution. We have research centers that study mood disorders and addictions, as well as labs devoted to molecular psychiatry and behavioral sciences research.
