Psychological Help

Fears of contagion, loneliness, worries about the future: The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the measures to contain it are very stressful for quite a few people. Depression can result. The roles that emotions and knowledge about the infection play in this have not yet been investigated. A study by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Stangier, Head of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at Goethe University, and his colleague Schahryar Kananian at the Institute for Psychology at Goethe University, should provide initial insights into this. In addition, crisis counseling by telephone was set up at the Center for Psychotherapy. The offer is aimed at people who feel burdened by the Corona crisis - by conflicts in the family or loneliness and insecurity, mental disorders such as anxiety, depression or addiction problems. Children and young people can also get help from the Corona crisis hotline. "The uncertainty surrounding the pandemic is the trigger for many worries. With the help of the association of friends and sponsors of the Goethe University, we can offer a Corona crisis hotline. "
