About this provider

Psychiatrie-Dienste Sued was the public psychiatric provider for the southern canton of St. Gallen (Rheintal, Werdenberg-Sarganserland and Linth regions), anchored at Klinik St.Pirminsberg in Pfaefers. On 1 January 2023 it merged with Psychiatrie St.Gallen Nord to form Psychiatrie St.Gallen, a single cantonal organisation with over 1,300 employees and nine locations. Patients formerly served by PDS now register with Psychiatrie St.Gallen; the southern locations - including Pfaefers, Sargans, Heerbrugg, Rapperswil and Uznach - are listed on psychiatrie-sg.ch.

Common questions

Does Psychiatrische Dienste Sued still exist?

Not as a separate organisation. It merged with Psychiatrie St.Gallen Nord on 1 January 2023 to form Psychiatrie St.Gallen. All of its former services continue under the merged organisation, reachable via psychiatrie-sg.ch.

Where do I register if I was a patient of the former PDS?

Use the Psychiatrie St.Gallen Anmeldung und Information desk in Pfaefers (+41 58 178 66 66) or the online registration form at psychiatrie-sg.ch; self-registration and physician referrals are both accepted.

Looking at alternatives? One of the BAG-designated Spravato centers; see the country guide and the limited-medical-use PAT program.
