Psychotherapy: My way through the fifth semester in Berlin

according to a report by www.berliner-zeitung.de , a medical student in Berlin reports of his fear that his depression will be revealed as part of his studies. He describes how he avoided the psychiatric courses because he did not always want to be confronted with the certainty that he had a depressive episode. He also expresses concerns that psychotherapy places in Berlin are scarce anyway.

As a citizen of Berlin, it is important to understand that the availability of psychotherapy places in the city is actually a problem. Especially in metropolitan areas such as Berlin, it can be difficult to find a therapy place. This can lead to inadequate care for people with psychological problems, since many, like the medical student, hesitate to address their needs if they fear that they will not receive adequate help. Even if therapy places are available, there may be delays in the treatment due to waiting times, which also contains the already difficult situation.

It is important that the health service providers and the government in the city take measures to improve the availability of psychotherapeutic care and to support access. This could include the creation of more therapy places, the promotion of online therapy options and the provision of resources to raise awareness and prevention. It is important that the needs of citizens, especially in relation to mental health, are taken seriously to ensure holistic care and to combat the stigmatization of mental illnesses.
