Welcome to the website of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University Medical Center Mainz

The Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy is the main mental health institution for the city of Mainz providing basic and specialized mental health services for more than 200.000 people locally as well as throughout the state of Rhineland-Palatinate and the Rhine-Main metropolitan area. Also patients from all over Germany and foreign countries may be treated in specialized treatment programs. Our therapies are based on a multidimensional disease conceptualization and individualized multimodal treatment options with psychotherapy, pharmacology, neurostimulation and psychosocial interventions. Highest standard of care is achieved by the implementation of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) as well as national and international guidelines into routine treatment.
