Anorexia, anxiety disorder, depression: mental illnesses among young people are increasing. And with them the call to take pressure off the children becomes louder. In the psychosomatic clinic in Prien we take a different approach.
When the patient begins to curse, her doctor is satisfied. The young woman, who in this story will only be called Jana for her protection, says she “doesn’t feel like being in this clinic anymore.” She spent enough time of her life with her anorexia. Now Jana wants to live her life, wants to be famous. “I don’t want to hide anymore,” she says. Bravo, praises ward doctor Carolin Göhre. She knows that for the slim 18-year-old, sentences like this – the insight into her own illness and the desire to change something – are a breakthrough.
