The module Psychiatrie & Computational Psychiatry introduces the most common psychiatric disorders, including etiology, diagnostics and therapy. In addition, under the guidance of a clinician, the students will acquire practical skills for assessing psychopathology in patients. The module concludes with an introduction to concepts and practical applications of Computational Psychiatry.

This course connects the clinical reality of common neuropsychiatric diseases to the underlying brain circuits, and explores how basic research helps to identify disease mechanisms and treatments. In a flipped-classroom setting, project teams will explore the interplay between basic research and clinical needs based on existing treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders.
