Welcome to The University of Texas Harris County Psychiatric Center (UTHCPC), a teaching hospital, delivering a comprehensive program of psychiatric and psychosocial services to more than 6,100 inpatient admissions and 14,000 outpatient visits annually.

Our patients, including children, adolescents and adults suffer, from mental illness, including bipolar disorder (manic depression), depression, schizophrenia, behavioral disorders and adjustment disorders.

UTHCPC is proud of our accomplishments in reaching out beyond our walls to serve the community at large.
