Research at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry
The main goal of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry is to uphold a uniquely close interaction between basic science, clinical research and clinical services in order to gain knowledge about and understanding of the causes of psychiatric disorders. This knowledge can then be applied in the development of novel diagnostic possibilities as well as therapeutic and preventive approaches. Stress-related disorders, such as major depression and anxiety disorders, are our main research and clinical focus.
