Adult Psychiatry
UT Health San Antonio's Psychiatry and Behavioral Health physicians provide specialized treatment for adults with emotional or behavioral problems.
The Department of Psychiatry at the UT Health San Antonio opened its doors in 1965 with five founding faculty. The department has developed a reputation for excellence in the education of psychiatrists and groundbreaking research. Today, the department has 86 faculty and over 100 staff working in education, research, and clinical services.
Conditions we treat but are not limited to:
Anxiety/depression
If nervousness or sadness last much of your day and interfere with your life, this could be more than just the normal “blues”. Our clinicians employ a combined treatment package of medication and psychotherapy to assist you with managing your emotions, thoughts and behaviors.
Bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder)
Bipolar disorder is a condition that affects over 2 million Americans. Mania symptoms may include feelings of extreme happiness or irritability, increased energy, and a reduced need for sleep. Depressive symptoms can include overwhelming feelings of sadness, a lack of energy and changes in appetite and sleep.
Dementia and cognitive disorders
Emotional and memory problems in later life can be a great concern to patients and their families. Our geriatrics division offers comprehensive assessment for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We also treat a wide range of psychiatric problems in the elderly.
Marital, family and adjustment issues
Divorce, illness, job change or loss are but a few of the many stressors that can take a toll on our relationships with spouses and children. Individuals can find the stress of career or relationships overwhelming. UT Health's experienced psychologists and social workers can help you work through these issues.
Eating disorders
UT Health has a psychologist who specializes in psychotherapy for individuals with anorexia, bulimia and other eating issues.
