Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•Paitents (older 18 years) with a primary diagnosis of a depressive disorder (F32\.xx or F33\.xx) or borderline personality disorder (F60\.31\) discharged from inpatient treatment at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Medical Center University of Freiburg between 01\.07\.2012 and 30\.06\.2016 will be included. At least one stationary stay must have had a minimum duration of seven days in the given period. On the one hand, this minimum duration is required because the planned study is intended to refer to patients with regular inpatient treatment. Shorter stationary admissions are usually crisis interventions, which often indicate an involuntary special situation that will not be included in this study. On the other hand, the minimum period of stay is required to ensure that all included patients un\-derwent an adequate diagnostic process to ensure the correctness of the given primary diagnosis. Another prerequisite for patients to participate is the completion of a discharge questionnaire after their last inpatient stay in the Department for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Medical Center University of Freiburg and the agreement to be contacted for research purposes. In addition, patients must have sufficient knowledge of German language to carry out the standardized telephone interviews and they must be able to give informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

•Patients younger than 18 years of age and those with a primary diagnosis that differs from the listed target diagnoses will be excluded from the study. Furthermore, patients will be excluded, who did not complete the discharge questionnaire during their last inpatient stay at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Medical Center University of Freiburg or who denied to be contacted for research purposes. Lastly, patients will also be excluded, if their longest inpatient stay has not lasted at least seven days or more during any of their stays in the reference period. Further criteria for exclusion are not intended.
