Private Patients (Ward 1)

In many patients, the assumption that they might suffer from a psychiatric disorder provokes fear, especially considering the past reputation of “traditional psychiatry”. Times, however, have changed considerably. Modern psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychosomatics are open, transparent and cooperative disciplines, providing you with various individual ways to tackle mental illness and supporting your personal development.

The multidisciplinary team of therapists on our private ward support and accompany you in your recovery in a personal and competent manner. At the highest therapeutic and scientifically-well-grounded standard, we dedicate all our strength and experience to contributing to your convalescence.

The concept of individualized and personalized diagnostics and treatment enables us to choose from a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic options the most suitable therapy approach, adjusted precisely to you and your symptoms. Experts of psychiatry, psychotherapy, internal medicine, endocrinology and neurology work together in interdisciplinary teams.
