Further, external support

Germany offers a comprehensive support system for mental health. Public health insurance typically covers psychotherapy, psychiatric consultations, and hospital stays. Individuals can access therapists through referrals from general practitioners, though waiting times for therapy can be long. In addition, helplines, online resources, and support groups provide immediate help.

If you or someone you know is struggling with issues related to depression and mental health, please seek help immediately. In Germany, you can contact the Telefonseelsorge at 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222 for free, confidential support. 

For international support, you can find resources and helplines through organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) at https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/
