The German Center for Mental Health (DZPG) investigates new methods to prevent, recognize and treat mental disorders. To this end, scientists at six locations are pooling their expertise. Patients and their relatives are actively involved in the committees and research projects. In this way, scientific projects can be better aligned with the needs of patients, thus improving the quality and chances of success of new therapies and diagnostic procedures. The goal is to ensure that people benefit from scientific discoveries as quickly as possible.

While the initial development phase focused primarily on establishing the foundations for early detection and prevention, the expansion phase through 2030 will focus on expanding shared infrastructures, flexibly addressing emerging research questions, and translating research findings into healthcare practice.
