Deletion syndrome 22q11.2 is one of the most common genetic changes in humans. In about one in every 2500 newborn children, a tiny part of the genetic material on chromosome 22 is missing. This loss of genetic material, known as a deletion, leads to physical symptoms and frequently to mental disorders in the course of development.
The Center of Mental Health in Würzburg has been appointed "Competence Center" by the self-help association KiDS-22q11 e.V. Various professionals from the medical, psychological and socio-pedagogical fields as well as from occupational therapy and speech therapy work together in this specialised outpatient clinic. This comprehensive and multi-professional diagnosis and treatment can improve the quality of life for children and adolescents as well as for adults.

This service is aimed at young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 who have noticed changes in themselves that may be early warning symptoms of a mental illness. These include changes in thinking, thought content and perception or social withdrawal, concentration and attention disorders as well as sleep disturbances.The correct interpretation of such symptoms is enormously important for the early recognition and treatment of a possible mood disorder such as depression and bipolar affective disorder, or psychoses, such as schizophrenia, because the course can be positively influenced.The potential risk can be determined in a detailed clinical interview, with tests and laboratory diagnostics.

Psychotherapy and trauma outpatient clinic

We are a qualified team of psychological and medical psychotherapists who provide cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Our special focus is on a well-founded diagnostic clarification as well as consultation on various therapeutic treatment options.

In principle, we can treat all mental disorders for which a behavioral therapy approach is indicated. These include: 

• Depression
• anxiety disorders
• reactions to severe stress and adjustment disorders,
• obsessive-compulsive disorders 
• somatoform disorders.

We also advise patients within the framework of the BKK ProPsych care contract.

We offer acutely traumatized patients a prompt appointment for an initial diagnostic interview and advise them on further trauma-specific therapy.

In individual cases, we can also make a therapy offer, but in most cases we subsequently refer to an individually tailored treatment offer.

In the specialised outpatient clinic for addiction diseases, we mainly treat patients with an addiction to:

• alcohol
• sleep and pain medications

Treatment only makes sense if there is a real desire to get rid of the addiction. For this reason, before making an appointment, we ask you to answer the questions in the quick-assessment test and, if necessary, to make a personal appointment for a consultation afterwards.
