Psychosomatic medicine places great emphasis on the connection between a person’s physical and emotional health, and teamwork among doctors provides the best opportunity to successfully treat patients with psychosomatic problems. The Psychosomatics Clinic and its medical psychotherapists are already implementing successful interdisciplinary collaboration with general practitioners.

Most often, a person seeks help from a psychotherapist when they feel dissatisfied with life or with themselves, when they experience inner discomfort, difficulty forming relationships, or persistent anxiety. A psychotherapist is often sought after a life crisis, such as violence, the death of a loved one, sexual assault, intense fear or anxiety, addiction issues, neurosis, sexual difficulties, or professional setbacks. Frequently, these problems have been present for a long time. Even if there have been moments of improvement, the issues tend to return again and again. Over time, if not addressed, mental difficulties may manifest as psychological or physical illnesses.
