About the hospital
Psychiatry Clinic Asklepios Nord Wandsbek Hamburg is a day clinic which is a semi-residential psychiatric-psychotherapy facility for patients from the Greater Wandsbek area and its surroundings. The Asklepios Medical Group was founded in 1985 and is one of Germany's largest private clinic networks.
Six wards, a day hospital and a polyclinic of the Institute cover the entire spectrum of outpatient, part-time and internal inpatient therapy.

Psychiatry Clinic Asklepios strives to make the stay of patients in the hospital as comfortable as possible. As part of the Asklepios Patient Safety Program, doctors take many measures so patients can rightly feel that they are in excellent and safe hands. In the clinic, qualified professionals apply mandatory hygiene standards to prevent the transmission of pathogens. Among other things, this provides that the medical centre staff disinfect their hands before each contact or examination. The clinic also conducts extensive hygiene training for all employees.
A wide range of services includes diagnosing and treating depression and anxiety disorders, burnout, stress-related diseases, psychosomatic disorders, and personality disorders. Therapy in clinics is based on modern psychopharmacological, psychotherapeutic and socio-psychological approaches that meet the recommendations of professional communities.

About the city
Hamburg is the second-largest metropolis in Germany, located on the banks of the Elbe. It is one of the wealthiest cities in the country, the largest port, and a real "Gateway to the World." Hamburg has been a center of European trade since it joined the Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages. The maritime spirit and traditions of the Hanse permeate Hamburg through and through: from architecture and sights to culture, food, and the cries of seagulls in the streets.
Most of the sights of Hamburg are concentrated in the central part of the city, bounded from the south by the Elbe and its channels, and from all other sides by the city ramparts. The city's symbol is a 132-meter tower called Michael, belonging to the church of St. Michael.
