Tomball Psychiatrist & COVID-19 Update

---

A compassionate word to our community:
​
At the start of this global pandemic, I think most of us believed that social isolation and the virus would be short-term issues.  I had hoped that during this intermission from normal that I would quickly adapt, but with each passing week I am still surprised that we are facing the same social burdens as 4+ months ago.  Tomball and Harris County remain Covid-19 hotspots despite many adjustments.  As a nation, I hope we are moving back toward the road to normal.
 
The well-being of our patients is at the forefront of our thoughts and prayers as we battle this relatively new threat.  While the virus physically effects the body of those infected, the mental health toll continues to weigh on us all.  We are all attempting to manage change, social isolation, economic unrest, and other unique challenges to our mental health.  As a diverse community, there is no one healthy way to handle all of these changes.  As an individual, it is important to reflect on our emotions to determine how we are managing the isolation and associated frustrations. 
 
 
Rest assured that Your Family Psychiatrist is available to you during this crisis.  We continue to offer psychiatric and counseling services to patients via online appointments, and we hope to offer in-person services electively soon.  We encourage our patients to make use of our confidential and accessible options now rather than delay treatment.  If you are struggling during these unfamiliar conditions, please reach out to us at 281-849-4080.
