Development of evidence-based transdiagnostic primary care for people with mental illness in primary care

  • More than a third of all people in Germany develop a mental illness in the course of their lives. The first point of contact is usually the family doctor. With an average time window of 7 minutes per patient, it is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis and provide adequate treatment. The transdiagnostic approach, which is symptom-oriented rather than diagnosis-oriented and offers cross-disease treatment approaches, can help here. Building on this, the STARC (STructured, first-Aid geneRic, psychologiCal interventions) project, funded by the German Center for Mental Health (DZPG), aims to develop and evaluate a transdiagnostic intervention for the GP setting.

    The project is part of the German Center for Mental Health (DZPG), which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and aims to conduct comprehensive research into the development and progression of mental and somatic illnesses across the lifespan. Funding for the Munich site started in early summer 2023, consisting of the LMU Klinikum, the Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Technical University of Munich, the University of Augsburg, the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry and the Helmholtz Zentrum München.
