Psychiatry and Psychotherapeutic Medicine
Psychiatry and psychotherapeutic medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses. Psychiatrists are physicians who have completed specialized training in this field and are therefore able to both diagnose and medically treat mental disorders.
Psychiatric treatment not only provides supportive counseling, but often also includes complementary medication therapy that temporarily alleviates distressing and limiting symptoms. Most of the time, a combination of Psychotherapy and psychiatric support are particularly helpful.

Psychotherapeutic medicine combines medical knowledge with psychotherapeutic approaches to the treatment of psychological and psychosomatic complaints. It looks at the interactions between the body and psyche and integrates therapeutic discussions into medical treatment. The aim is to identify and treat both mental and physical symptoms holistically. Doctors and therapists often work together on an interdisciplinary basis to find individual solutions for the patient's health.
