Mental health
Health means not only physical well-being, but also psychological well-being.
The causes and effects of mental illnesses are manifold.
If you take care of your mental health, you will also strengthen your physical health. However, it can always happen that you need support in a stressful situation.
Don't wait until you feel better on your own.
Get help. Counselling services are available for adults, children, families and couples.
If you feel ill, first make an appointment with your family doctor. They will receive help there to get to a specialist.
If the family doctor's practice is closed, contact the emergency medical service.
