Stiftung Deutsche Depressionshilfe

The Stiftung Deutsche Depressionshilfe is an independent non-profit foundation under German civil law, founded in 2008 as the successor to the Competence Network Depression, Suicidality, which had been funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) until 2009.

It offers information and help services such as the Info-Mail Depression and the Germany-wide Info-Telefon Depression, and it coordinates the German Alliance Against Depression, under whose umbrella local alliances have formed in 90 cities and municipalities. Its office is in Leipzig, and it is academically affiliated with the Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy of the University Hospital Frankfurt/Main.
