With a lecture by Prof Dr med Dr phil. Thomas Fuchs on the topic “Fast, faster, too fast. Overwork, burnout and depression”.

In addition to the lecture by Mr. Prof. Fuchs, the event will be followed by a panel discussion and an exhibition of TU offers on the topic. The event is aimed at all employees and students at TU Darmstadt.
Good health, both physical and mental, is crucial to being able to work and study well and successfully. The importance of mental health is often underestimated as it is not always visible. Symptoms such as exhaustion, sleep disorders or irritability can develop gradually and lead to serious illness if they are not recognised and treated in time.
It is important to talk openly about these issues and raise awareness that mental illness should be taken just as seriously as physical illness. Seeking support and taking care of your own mental health is an essential step.
The aim of the FiF event is to contribute to the removal of taboos from the topic, including in university contexts, and to provide information about the topic, its connections and possible answers in the best sense of the word. It also offers opportunities to meet and exchange ideas – for all status groups at TU Darmstadt from science and administration.
