Mental health has increasingly come into the societal spotlight in recent years. The media, social networks, and public discussions have contributed to topics such as stress, anxiety, or depression being discussed more openly today than a few years ago. This development is fundamentally positive, as it helps destigmatize these issues and makes it easier for those affected to access help.

At the same time, however, a new dynamic has emerged: psychological strains are sometimes presented in a highly simplified manner or even perceived as a 'trend'. It is important to distinguish between serious illnesses and everyday emotional fluctuations. A nuanced perspective is crucial to take those affected seriously while also enabling a medically sound assessment.

As part of a recent media piece, MedR. Dr. Jutta Leth, a specialist at JUVENIS, was also interviewed on this topic. She emphasizes the importance of responsible medical assessment and honest counseling. She criticizes the trend toward self-diagnosis and the tendency of increasing numbers of people to present themselves as specialists and give advice on mental illnesses on various online platforms. 'The concept of destigmatizing mental illnesses has turned into its opposite,' reports psychiatrist MedR. Dr. Jutta Leth.

At JUVENIS, comprehensive, responsible treatment by professionally trained staff is therefore central. Our goal is to support patients individually and to create realistic expectations.
