Getting mental health support

Mental health support can look different: talking, counseling, medical assessment, consultation hour, or looking for a therapy place.

Where you can start

Common first paths are a family doctor, 116117, a psychotherapeutic consultation hour, a counseling center, or TelefonSeelsorge. Which path fits depends on urgency and what you can manage right now.

You may seek help before it escalates

You do not have to wait until nothing works anymore. If your daily life suffers or you feel burdened for longer, a first contact makes sense.
