Examples from practice

Referral by specialist

In anxiety disorders, patients often first present to general or specialist practices due to physical symptoms. After a suspected mental health diagnosis is made, a referral to a psychotherapist can be issued. Psychotherapy, however, is in most cases not immediately available.

Solution approach:

As immediately available digital helpers, DiGAs can provide initial support for patients in coping with their disorder. DiGAs can be prescribed on the basis of a suspected diagnosis. Through psychoeducation and initial exposure exercises, patients learn to better understand their condition.

The consultation ends, but no therapy slot is available

Patients often come to the psychotherapy consultation with obvious distress and a well-founded suspected diagnosis. Then the dilemma: the waiting list is full and free slots are months away. Many therapists report these frustrating moments: the need is clear, but no therapy can be offered.

Solution approach:

With a suspected diagnosis, a DiGA such as Mindable can already be prescribed during the consultation. This gives patients immediate, evidence-based digital support, e.g., psychoeducation or initial small exposure tasks.

When exposures fail and therapy stalls

The exposure is planned, the goal is defined. But in the next session it turns out the exercise wasn’t carried out. Between sessions, patients often lack structure, reminders, or motivation. The result can be stagnation in therapy.

Solution approach:

Mindable’s DiGAs can provide targeted support in such cases. Clear exercise instructions, motivating prompts, and the ability to document progress make it easier for many patients to implement planned exposures in everyday life.
