Bündnis gegen Depression Frankfurt am Main e. V.

About us

The Bündnis gegen Depression Frankfurt am Main e. V. is a regional association that works to destigmatize depression in the public and contributes to improved education and diagnostics for those affected. In addition to committed private individuals, the network also includes Frankfurt's five psychiatric clinics, the health department and two psychotherapeutic advanced training clinics.

As part of a national network of alliances against depression, we work on the following four levels: cooperation with doctors, PR activities, cooperation with multipliers (teachers, pastors, police etc.) and offers for those affected and their families. In a research project Prof. Dr. Hegerl was able to prove in 2000 that these measures effectively reduce the suicide rate. We invite you to personal exchange and community with regular free offers: e.g. yoga, painting, hiking, jogging, dog walking or trialogue. We also organize information stands and events.
