Frequently Asked Questions
Who writes the East Texas Psychiatry blog?
Our articles are written for East Texas Psychiatry and Counseling and reviewed by our board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners for accuracy. The goal is plain-language education you can trust — drawing on primary sources like the National Institute of Mental Health and reflecting how our Tyler-based team actually approaches care. Every article is reviewed and updated over time as guidance evolves.
Can I use the blog instead of seeing a provider?
No. The blog is educational and is not a substitute for a personalized evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. Reading is a great first step toward understanding your options, but everyone's situation is different, which is why care begins with a psychiatric evaluation where a provider reviews your history and goals. If something you read raises a question about your own health, bring it to an appointment. Call (430) 288-5800 when you're ready.
How often do you publish new psychiatry articles?
We add psychiatry articles in East Texas regularly, covering conditions, treatments, and practical guidance for living well. Topics are chosen from the questions patients ask most often, so the library grows in the directions that are most useful. Use the topic filter above to browse by area such as depression, ADHD, trauma, or telepsychiatry. Bookmark the page and check back, or reach out any time if there's a topic you'd like us to cover.
Are the articles specific to Texas?
Many are written with East Texas in mind — local context, our Tyler clinic, and care delivered by secure video anywhere in Texas — while the clinical information applies more broadly. Where a topic involves state-specific details, such as how telepsychiatry works for patients located in Texas, we say so. The aim is guidance that's both trustworthy and relevant to the people we serve.
What should I do if I'm in crisis after reading an article?
Our pages are educational and are not monitored for emergencies. If you or someone you know may be in danger, call 911, or call or text 988 at any hour to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support. For non-urgent questions about your care, contact our office during business hours. Knowing where to turn ahead of time can make a hard moment easier.
How do I start care after reading the blog?
When you're ready, the next step is a conversation.
