Testimonial
I was suffering badly from my bipolar and personality disorder and it was the cause of my marriage break up; but I was offered unconditional love and support at The Kusnacht Practice. I had tried other centers, but it was the therapy and aftercare from The Kusnacht Practice that enabled me to recover from my bipolar disorder.
