Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim

40 percent of all people have a mental illness in the course of their lives that should be treated.

We at CIMH are experts in mental health.

We study the causes and mechanisms of mental illnesses and develop new therapies.

We help with individual treatments and support prevention.

Researching the effects of new therapies

The Center for Innovative Psychiatric and Psychotherapeutic Research (CIPP) is a unique research platform to investigate the effects of new therapies on the brain, behavior and multiple biomarkers. Our goal is to gain fundamentally new insights into the mechanisms of neuropsychiatric diseases and to significantly accelerate the development of new drugs and psychotherapy procedures. Learn more.

The CIMH realigns itself

After the new building in K 3 and the modernization of the therapy building in J 5, another new building is currently under construction in J 4.

The CIMH 2020 Master Plan is a forward-looking approach to patient care and further improves the conditions for psychiatric research in Mannheim.
