We Never Give Up.

This isn’t just a sign on the wall. It’s a declaration. A promise to everyone fighting depression that hope is stronger than despair and that no matter how heavy the darkness feels, there is always a way forward.

At the Center for Interventional Psychiatry, giving up is not an option. Every day, lives are being rebuilt, strength is being rediscovered, and futures are being reclaimed.

Depression does not define you.

Because here, the fight never stops. And neither do we.

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.
