Mental illnesses are common and often cause years of suffering. They are so widespread that almost every second person suffers from mental illness at least once in the course of his or her life. These illnesses can usually be treated well with psychotherapy and medication on an outpatient basis, but sometimes hospitalisation is necessary. The University Hospital for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy in Tübingen offers you a modern range of treatment tailored to your needs in a historic setting. We have the most modern diagnostic procedures at our disposal, so that we can also clarify complex illnesses.
