Even if the suffering is enormous, teacher training students often do not seek help for psychological problems. But does treatment actually mean not being placed in civil service? And is there an alternative to a psychotherapist?
In October 2023 it will be too much for Maya Brückmann. The now 25-year-old has been studying English and French at the LMU since 2018, becoming a high school teacher. The state exam is due in spring 2024.

She also suffers from exam anxiety. But she doesn’t initially look for outside help.
