Depression & Burnout

When it comes to treating affective disorders and stress-related illnesses, we take a relationship-focused approach. This allows us to establish a connection with our patients and promote trust and self-care.

We treat women who, for example, have experienced a crisis of meaning and orientation or a state of illness as a result of a critical life event, difficult life transitions or multiple stresses. We take a relationship-focused approach to establish a connection with our patients and promote trust and self-care.
We focus on a multimodal and individually tailored treatment strategy, which primarily aims to re-establish basic biopsychosocial functioning, support reintegration into the work environment, create a sustainable work-life balance and enable a meaningful and renewed outlook on life.

The treatment strategy is made up of various components, such as:

• High-frequency psychotherapy (2x per week)
• Mindfulness-based methods
• Integration of modular therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), interpersonal therapy (IPT), Imaginary Rescripting and
• Reprocessing Therapy (IRRT) and biofeedback
• Carer-led activities, daily routine planning and milieu therapy by care professionals
• Art, movement and occupational therapy: Exploring topics through physical and creative tasks
• Biological therapy methods – especially light therapy
• Complementary medicine and phytotherapy
• As required: Discussions with relatives/partners, families and employers
• Core depression and burnout group with special consideration of aspects specific to women
• Interpersonal module group: Focus on interpersonal relationships, conflict behaviour, self-perception and external perception and the effects of one’s own behavioural style on the environment, burnout
