Better Together – Research for a Healthy Mind

As one of eight German Centers for Health Research, the DZPG aims to improve the mental health of the population and reduce the stigma associated with mental disorders. To achieve this, the scientists work closely together with experts from the field. These experts include people living with mental disorders, their families, and relatives, as well as international researchers.

Together, they are searching for new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat mental disorders. The DZPG aims to ensure that people can benefit from the results of this research as soon as possible.
