If you or someone you know is experiencing an acute psychological crisis, it's crucial to take immediate action and seek the necessary support. Remember that seeking help is an act of strength, and there are resources available to navigate challenging situations. Your mental health is a priority, and seeking support is the first step towards well-being.

Psychotherapy search
In the case of a psychological disorder, it is necessary and highly recommended to seek out a 'Psicologische Psychotherapeut' who, after approbation, is able to treat such cases.

To search for a Psychologist Psychotherapist, it may be useful to use this search engine, which thanks to its filters can search for therapists in the vicinity who are available and who speak your language.
