Psychiatry
The Department of Psychiatry at West Penn Allegheny Health System strives to provide the highest quality mental health services to our patients, maintain a strong commitment to excellence in education, advance knowledge through research and improve the mental health of our community.
Our team of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, master's level clinicians, nurses, research staff, and support staff offer treatment for a number of different conditions, including mood disorders (Depression, Bipolar Disorder) and anxiety disorders (Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), as well as psychotic disorders (Schizophrenia).
Through our broad continuum of outpatient, partial hospital, and inpatient services, we offer comprehensive mental health care to patients of all ages.
If you are experiencing significant emotional or psychological distress or a medical emergency at this time, please contact 911 or your nearest emergency room. This is not an interactive website. No behavioral health services can be provided on-line. If you believe you would benefit from outpatient psychiatric services, please contact 412.330.4000 during normal business hours (Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm) to schedule an appointment.
Information for Patients
This month marks the national observance of Mental Health Awareness Month, which began in 1949 to raise awareness of mental health conditions and treatments. Today, most people who have mental health concerns will talk to their family doctor or general practitioner, who in turn will refer them to a mental health professional if the criteria for a diagnosis is met.
If you or someone you know could benefit from mental health services, please contact the Department of Psychiatry at 412.330.4000. All calls are confidential.
