Psychiatry

Houston Methodist offers comprehensive psychiatric treatment for patients with complex neurological conditions. Our board-certified neurologists and psychiatrists work together to provide compassionate, collaborative care.  

Mental health issues can occur after brain injury, cancer or neurological illnesses. These conditions can affect brain chemistry, causing mood changes, anxiety and other mental health concerns. Physical illnesses can also make pre-existing behavioral health symptoms worse.
