Completing your studies is challenging and can be associated with great pressure to perform as well as financial uncertainties and uncertainties relating to your prospects. As a result, the psychological strain during your studies can sometimes be high.
Mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, etc. are already very common around the world. The WHO expects a further sharp increase in mental health disorders and therefore calls for mental health to be respected and for help to be sought in good time if needed.
The Universities of Bern Counselling Centre is an important point of contact for students to find out more about the topic and obtain support. The Counselling Centre offers personal counseling, which you can use free of charge as a student of the University of Bern.
