Access to mental healthcare, particularly for children and adolescents, remains a significant challenge in many areas. Recent monitoring data indicates that only about one-third (34%) of individuals seeking a psychotherapeutic consultation receive an appointment within four weeks. This delay can be particularly detrimental when addressing issues like school stress, anxiety, or depressive symptoms, as problems can worsen during extended waiting periods.
For those struggling to find timely care, the appointment service available at 116117 can assist in arranging initial consultations and providing further resources for locating a therapist.
