Understanding Mental Health Disorders
Mental health disorders are complex conditions that affect a person’s mood, thinking, behavior, and ability to function in life. Psychiatrists have advanced training to accurately diagnose and treat mental illness through a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes.
Some of the most common disorders treated by psychiatrists include:
Depression
Depression is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt, and disinterest in life. Symptoms may include:
Our psychiatrists conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the causes and severity of depressive symptoms. Treatment often includes antidepressant medication and psychotherapy to help patients regain joy and meaning in their lives. Lifestyle changes like exercise, improved nutrition, stress reduction, and more can also make a big difference.
ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD symptoms may include:
To diagnose ADHD, our psychiatrists look for symptoms that have been present since childhood and lead to difficulty functioning at school, work, or home. Effective treatment includes stimulant medications to improve focus along with counseling for organization, time management, and coping skills.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. Symptoms occur in cycles of manic and depressive episodes.
Mania may involve:
Depressive periods may include:
Our psychiatrists have extensive expertise treating bipolar disorder. Medications can stabilize mood swings and psychotherapy provides coping strategies for managing symptoms. With appropriate treatment, many patients achieve long-term remission.
PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur after exposure to a terrifying event involving actual or threatened death or violence. Symptoms may include:
By encouraging patients to process their trauma in a safe environment, our compassionate psychiatrists help reduce PTSD symptoms. Medications can also alleviate associated anxiety and depression. Therapy provides tools to manage triggering situations and gradually resume regular activities.
Sleep Disorders
Many psychiatric patients experience sleep disorders that exacerbate their mental health conditions. Our psychiatrists evaluate sleep problems like:
After identifying the root cause of the sleep disorder, we provide customized treatment plans. These may include sleep hygiene education, cognitive behavioral therapy, medications, or referrals to sleep specialists.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder involves sudden, overwhelming waves of anxiety accompanied by frightening physical symptoms. Attacks may involve:
Our psychiatrists help patients understand the underlying causes of anxiety and avoid perceiving normal physical sensations as dangerous. Medications can prevent panic attacks, while cognitive behavioral therapy teaches coping strategies. Relaxation techniques and stress reduction may also help.
Overview of Psychiatric Services in Texas – Psychiatrists in Texas
Texas has a growing need for accessible and affordable psychiatric services:
Prevalence of Mental Illness
Nearly 1 in 5 adults in Texas experience some form of mental illness each year. Leading diagnoses include anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and more.
Shortage of Psychiatrists
Texas has 127 counties with no psychiatrists and high demand for mental health services. This shortage hits rural areas of the state especially hard.
Low Access to Care
Despite the high mental health burden, less than half of Texans with mental illness receive treatment each year. Stigma and limited awareness of options are partly to blame.
Higher Risk Groups
Certain groups like veterans, adolescents, low-income families and marginalized communities have even less access to psychiatric care in Texas.
At PsycPlus, our psychiatrists aim to bridge these gaps in mental healthcare by offering both in-person and telepsychiatry options. Keep reading to learn more about the psychiatric services we provide.
Our Areas of Expertise
PsycPlus psychiatrists have advanced training to accurately diagnose and provide individualized treatment plans for a full spectrum mental health disorders including:
Mood Disorders
Mood disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, and others involve pervasive disturbance in emotions. Our psychiatrists have deep knowledge of the latest medication and therapy approaches to stabilize mood. We look beyond just treating symptoms to improve patients’ overall quality of life.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders range from generalized anxiety to panic attacks, phobias, OCD, and PTSD. Our psychiatrists teach healthy stress management and help patients overcome fears interfering with daily function. Medications and therapy give patients tools to prevent and cope with anxiety.
ADHD
Our psychiatrists conduct thorough assessments using validated rating scales, clinical interviews, and records. This comprehensive process confirms ADHD diagnoses in children through adults. Our treatments improve focus, organization, time management, and impulse control.
Substance Use Disorders
We understand the complex biological and social factors driving addiction. Our treatment plans combine medications to ease withdrawal and cravings with therapy to identify triggers and build a strong support system. We offer confidential help and do not judge patients for their addiction history.
Eating Disorders
Our psychiatrists partner with dietitians and therapists to provide complete care. We stabilize medical issues, improve body image, establish healthy eating patterns, and address psychological factors maintaining eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating.
Personality Disorders
Patients with personality disorders often feel misunderstood. Our psychiatrists take time to see beyond labels and understand patients’ self-image, social struggles, and goals. Medications and therapy help regulate emotions, improve relationships, and achieve a more stable sense of identity.
Psychotic Disorders
We have specialized expertise in early intervention for psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. Our treatments help relieve delusions, hallucinations, and confused thinking. Medications and therapy allow patients to pursue education, employment, and meaningful relationships.

Choosing the Right Psychiatrist – Psychiatrists in Texas
The psychiatrist-patient relationship is vital for successful treatment. At PsycPlus, we help match each patient with the psychiatrist that best fits their needs and preferences. Here are some things to consider when choosing a psychiatrist in Texas:
Age Group Focus
Does the psychiatrist specialize in children, adolescents, adults, or older adults? Treating patients in one’s age group allows a psychiatrist to tailor care based on stage of brain development.
Condition Expertise
Look for a psychiatrist extensively trained and experienced in treating your specific condition. For example, an anxiety disorder psychiatrist will use different approaches than one focused on mood disorders.
Gender
Some patients feel more comfortable with a psychiatrist of their own gender due to the sensitive nature of mental health issues.
Personality Style
Choose a psychiatrist with a relatable, compassionate approach to make treatment more effective. Nurturing psychiatrists empower patients to drive their care.
Location
Convenience is key, especially for frequent medication management appointments. We have 16 locations across Texas to minimize travel time.
Insurance Accepted
Verify the psychiatrist takes your specific insurance plan. PsycPlus accepts most major insurance providers.
Appointment Availability
Look for a psychiatrist that schedules timely appointments and makes themself available for urgent concerns. Our patients can get appointments within 1 week.
Feedback From Others
Read reviews from current patients and seek referrals from healthcare providers familiar with the psychiatrist’s abilities. Our psychiatrists come highly recommended by patients and peers.
Therapy Approaches
Ask about the psychiatrist’s therapy model and determine if it matches your preferences. Our psychiatrists tailor their approach for each patient.
Medication Philosophy
Some psychiatrists prefer to minimize medication use when possible. Others leverage medications to treat symptoms rapidly. Understand the psychiatrist’s perspective on prescribing.
Hospital Affiliations
In case higher level care is ever needed, selecting a psychiatrist affiliated with top local hospitals ensures continuity. Our psychiatrists have privileges at leading hospitals.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial consultation lays the foundation for treatment, so it is important to prepare in advance. Here is an overview of what to expect at your first visit with a PsycPlus psychiatrist:
Complete Paperwork
This includes forms about your medical history, insurance information, consent for treatment, and other standard intake documents. Completing paperwork ahead online makes the appointment more efficient.
Psychiatric History
The psychiatrist will ask detailed questions about current symptoms, past diagnoses, hospitalizations, previous providers, family history, and any psychiatric medications tried. Provide complete information to get an accurate big picture.
Mental Status Exam
This clinical assessment evaluates general appearance, mood, affect, speech, thought processes, cognition, insight, and judgment. Simple tests determine orientation and memory.
Physical Exam
A basic physical exam checks vitals, listens to heart and lungs, feels the abdomen, and looks in ears, nose, and throat. This provides context about possible medical factors influencing symptoms.
Diagnostic Assessment
Based on all the information gathered, the psychiatrist synthesizes the most likely diagnosis. They will explain their clinical impression and answer any questions about it.
Treatment Plan Discussion
With the provisional diagnosis, the psychiatrist will recommend medications, therapy referrals, and/or other interventions expected to provide symptom relief. Together, you will decide on a personalized treatment plan.
Next Steps
Before concluding the initial visit, all follow-up questions are addressed, additional appointments are scheduled, and clear instructions are provided for any prescriptions or next steps in care.
Arriving early, bringing records, writing down questions, and having an open mind helps you get the most out of the first psychiatric appointment.

Integrated Care for Whole Health
Mental health and physical health are closely intertwined. At PsycPlus, our psychiatrists partner with patients’ primary care providers, nurses, social workers, dietitians, and other clinicians to deliver integrated care addressing the whole person.
Collaborating with Primary Care
Nearly 1 in 5 adults in Texas experience some form of mental illness each year. Leading diagnoses include anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and more.
Inpatient Care Coordination
If escalated care like psychiatric hospitalization is needed, our psychiatrists coordinate closely with inpatient providers to continue medication and treatment plans after discharge. This prevents setbacks.
Social Services to Address Needs
Unmet social needs like food insecurity, inadequate housing, and inability to afford medications can negatively impact mental health. Our social workers help patients access local community resources.
Nutritional Counseling
Supporting Mental Wellness
In addition to treating specific psychiatric disorders, our psychiatrists provide guidance to help all patients achieve better mental health through:
Stress Management Techniques
Unmanaged stress takes a toll on both physical and mental health. We teach healthy coping mechanisms like meditation, yoga, deep breathing, journaling, and using social support. These reduce anxiety and build resilience.
Balancing Work and Home Life
Overworking leads to burnout, while too little meaningful activity is also unhealthy. We help patients strike the right work-life balance and set healthy boundaries.
Developing Good Sleep Habits
Quality sleep is essential for mood, focus, and well-being. We educate patients on optimizing sleep environment, maintaining a regular schedule, limiting screen time before bed, and more.
Quitting Smoking and Drugs
Nicotine, alcohol, opioids, and other substances exacerbate psychiatric issues. We provide counseling and smoking cessation aids to help patients overcome addiction.
Getting Regular Exercise
Exercise boosts endorphins, reduces stress hormones, improves sleep, enhances self-image, and relieves depression. Our psychiatrists discuss ways to incorporate appropriate exercise.
Maintaining Social Connections
Loneliness and isolation feed depression. We help brainstorm ways patients can expand their social support network and engage in meaningful community activities.
With lifestyle approaches supplementing medications and therapy, patients are empowered to truly thrive in all aspects of life. Our holistic model leads to lasting mental and physical well-being.
