Neuropsychiatry Clinic

The Neuropsychiatry Clinic of the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute examines the relationship between the brain, neuroscience and human behavior. Our neuropsychiatrists work with colleagues in neurology, neuropsychology, neurosurgery and neuroradiology to evaluate complex neuropsychiatric disorders and to formulate coordinated multimodal therapies to treat a variety of patients. We treat patients with treatment-resistant mood disorders, dementias and cognitive disorders with behavioral and psychotic complications, as well as patients with mood and behavior changes related to brain injury caused by trauma, surgery or stroke.

Research initiatives include neuroimaging in late-life mood disorders and collaborative research with Nantz National Alzheimer Center on strategies for evaluating and managing dementia.
