Psychiatric Institute Outpatient Clinic (PIA)
Here you can find out more about our extensive range of consultation hours and groups. The Campus Polyclinic brings together various treatment services. In addition to the traditional university outpatient clinic with numerous consultation hours, there is also the Psychiatric Institute Outpatient Clinic, where patients with mental illnesses are cared for by a multi-professional and interdisciplinary team of physicians, psychologists, social workers/educators and nurses. Various treatment options are brought together: this involves both the initial diagnosis of mental illnesses and, if necessary, longer-term care for patients in our outpatient clinic.

Special treatment services offered by the outpatient clinic
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder in childhood. While it was long assumed that this disorder "grows out" until adulthood, it is now known that ADHD persists into adulthood in up to 70% of affected children. Hyperactivity (ADHD) may or may not be present.
If desired, treatment at our clinic is mainly medication-based. Other options such as occupational therapy are offered in many good practices and can be prescribed by us. Sometimes treatment with a psychotherapist is recommended, which would take place independently of us and cannot be arranged.
Unfortunately, there are currently no resources available for the admission of new patients with suspected ADHD.

Special consultation hours for autism in adulthood
The autism consultation is a service for adults who are suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder. We offer a detailed and thorough diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders and advise on possible treatment strategies. Furthermore, there is also scientific interest, which is pursued within the framework of research projects.
If you are suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder, you can find out how to make an appointment with us and what procedure you can expect in the "Diagnostics & organizational procedure" section.
Diagnostics & organizational procedure
Unfortunately, no appointments can currently be made for new patients. As soon as new patients can be seen during consultation hours, we will make a note of this on our homepage. We would therefore ask you to check this at regular intervals. We ask for your understanding that your request by e-mail cannot currently be processed.
We ask for your understanding that general, cross-disorder diagnostics are not possible within the framework of specific autism diagnostics. Should differential diagnostic indications arise during the course of the consultation, we will, if possible, refer you to the appropriate authorities for further diagnosis and clarification of the treatment required.

Competitive sport can motivate athletes to achieve extraordinary performances and at the same time requires a very high level of resilience, physical fitness and mental health. However, the special demands of training and competition and the resulting effects on all areas of an athlete's life can also pose a risk to their health in the long term. Competitive athletes therefore need competent contact persons for all areas of physical and mental health to whom they can turn in confidence when health problems arise and who know the special features of competitive sport and can take them into account accordingly in their advice and treatment.
Our consultation hours offer advice, diagnostics and therapeutic recommendations, including treatment if necessary, for competitive athletes from the age of 18.

Mental illnesses can affect anyone. If they occur in people with a rare syndromic disease or a mental disability, a wide variety of problems have to be considered and solved at once. The psychological changes often also represent a challenge for the families and caregivers of those affected.
Our particular focus is on the treatment of patients who suffer from a genetic syndrome, e.g. Prader-Willi syndrome, Down syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, Smith-Magenis syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome and others.
Those affected often suffer from psychotic symptoms with hallucinations and delusions, can be plagued by severe anxiety and may display aggressive behavior as a result. However, depressive moods also represent a psychiatric problem area, whereby adequate treatment can improve quality of life. In addition, living with a rare syndromic disease usually requires adjustments that make normal life more difficult. In addition to the psychological problems mentioned above, many patients also have physical problems that require special attention during treatment.
Comprehensive healthcare of the same range, quality and standard as for people without mental disabilities is an important care goal. We will take the time to get to know you during your first appointment. Our services include advice for those affected and their caregivers, discussion of problems and diagnostic classification of the respective symptoms. This allows us to plan further therapies, whereby further psychiatric treatment can also be provided by us.

The consultation is aimed at women who feel psychologically stressed during pregnancy or after giving birth and are looking for support. It is irrelevant whether or not there was a previous mental illness.
Anxiety, depression or other psychological changes can occur during pregnancy or after the birth. The causes are many and varied and include changes in a woman's role (from working to being a mother), insecurities in dealing with the child, exhaustion due to lack of sleep, miscarriage or stillbirth, a difficult birth or psychosocial stress situations. Sometimes no obvious cause can be found.
The aim of the consultation is to work with you to find ways to achieve the best possible mental health. This can lead to a better organization and management of everyday life and greater satisfaction.

Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses worldwide and one of the most frequent causes of incapacity for work. In Germany, 8.2% of all German citizens fall ill with depression in the course of a year. After the first attempt at antidepressant therapy, 35% of patients currently recover. After the second attempt at drug therapy, 1/3 of patients still recover, meaning that around 30% of patients suffer from difficult-to-treat depression.
If you are suffering from difficult-to-treat depression, we can offer you a detailed diagnosis and advice on possible treatment strategies. These include electroconvulsive therapy, ketamine infusion therapy, vagus nerve stimulation and psychotherapy. There is also a scientific interest, which is being pursued in research projects.
Please fill out the registration forms and send them back to us by post or fax. You will then be contacted regarding an appointment.
Please bring your insurance card, a referral slip from your specialist and all medical documents with you to your appointment.

The Tourette's consultation at Hannover Medical School is a service for people who have or are suspected of having a tic disorder or Tourette's syndrome. We advise and treat people of all ages, i.e. children as well as adults.
The diagnosis of a tic disorder is made clinically on the basis of the patient's medical history and examination findings. A personal examination is therefore an essential prerequisite for a correct diagnostic classification.
The aim of an initial outpatient appointment, which usually lasts around 60 minutes, is to establish the correct diagnosis and provide comprehensive advice on all aspects of the disorder. We also offer advice for relatives or other caregivers. We also provide advice on issues relating to the inheritance of Tourette syndrome and the desire to have children.
We offer the entire spectrum of treatment for tic disorders, including behavioral therapy, medication and surgery. Of course, we also provide treatment for psychiatric comorbidities associated with tic disorder such as ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety disorder and auto-aggressive behavior.
Over the past 15 years, more than 1100 children and adults with tic disorders have been treated in our consultation. This makes our consultation the largest of its kind in Germany.
