UTHealth Houston Harris County Psychiatric Center

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about UT Houston Psychiatric Center. From the moment we walked in the staff was professional and truly caring. They create such a welcoming and supportive environment during difficult times. A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO NURSE MARLEN RIVERA for the compassion , passion and genuine care shown every step of the way . She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, heard and supported.Her kindness and dedication made a difference and will never be forgotten. I highly recommend UTPC to anyone who is seeking mental health care ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I was admitted here back in October of 2018 because I have a rare thyroid/immune system disorder and my medication had stopped working which left me both very sick as well as suicidal. The nurse that checked me in was a bit harsh with me because she may have thought that I was just being difficult due to my special dietary needs. Also, two of the night nurses in the ward I was placed in were just down right mean but there wasn't much I could do about it because they had the upper hand and could have said that I was being unruly. Anyway. They kept me for ten days and were able to put me on new medications and helped me to get well again which I will be forever grateful to them for. Also. The bed was comfortable, the food was good and my room mate didn't snore...”

“Truly a nest of vipers. I was stuck in there with dangerous people, there were multiple fights and times where patients had to be sedated for fighting staff members (rightfully so, because they were horrible people), and the entire process would've been infinitely better for me if the entire Harris Center system hadn't been so hostile to me. There was very little offered to keep us occupied, and they also used A.I. on some of the commercials and programs on the TV to keep patients confused, which I very much did not appreciate. They also listen in on all phone calls, and will cut the line at any time if they don't like what you're talking about.”

“Unfortunately, dealing with a Family member with issues of Mental Health Issues. My son was released from this facility. Unfortunately, I didn't realize what transpires if they are a adult. I was out of Harms way, but my son was released. I received call from a St.Joeseph hospital because he was released and was treated for exposure, trench feet from rain. If you're relative is mentally I'll try to do Medical Power Of Attorney in front of A Notory. They are delusional, but, You know they need help. Plus, you gotta stay safe. The Mental facility will release them, because they are a adult by law. That's my next step in getting my son help. Without, This document you can't assist them if they are a Adult. Its necessary in determining there help in getting on medication. God, Bless! Good Luck All.🙏”
