How can mental health conditions be recognized? Where can you find help? How can I support someone who is affected? At info-psyche.org, those affected, their relatives, and anyone interested can find easy-to-understand answers to their questions about mental health.

The DZPG’s new information service (Informationsdienst Psychische Gesundheit) provides scientifically grounded knowledge about prevention, early detection, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illnesses. The german-language website addresses everyday questions, explains what can help those affected and their families, and offers guidance for school, college, and work. The content was developed in collaboration with DZPG researchers, as well as those affected and their relatives.

The DZPG conducts research at six locations across Germany on new approaches to the prevention, early detection, and treatment of mental illnesses. The CIMH coordinates the Mannheim-Heidelberg-Ulm site.

The mental health information service can also be found on Instagram.
