Ward 12 is a general psychiatric, protective ward with 16 regular beds. Women and men from the age of 18 are treated. Patients come to the ward as part of the regular care provided by the district with a doctor's referral or directly via one of our outpatient clinics. Patients from the open wards of the hospital can also be admitted at short notice for crisis intervention.
Mainly patients with the following acute psychiatric illnesses are treated:
- Psychoses
- depressions
- Anxiety disorders
- Personality disorders
- Addictive disorders
We also admit patients in crisis situations and/or with suicidal intentions.
In the case of patients who are a danger to themselves or others, treatment is provided on ward 12 in accordance with the PsychKHG BW or the Care Act according to the German Civil Code (BGB). A detailed diagnostic clarification of the existing psychiatric disorder is carried out, if necessary in close cooperation with the other departments of the University Hospital.
