Support remains available for those struggling with similar pain. Germany's Telefonseelsorge crisis hotline offers free, anonymous help 24 hours a day. People can call 0800/111 0 111, 0800/111 0 222, or 116 123 for confidential support.
Lenhardt's death in 2021 came amid broader concerns about mental health in Germany. Recent data shows worsening symptoms among young women, with 47% reporting depression or anxiety in 2024. While political efforts now focus on expanding youth therapy and reducing stigma, no direct link exists between her case and changes in public perception. The crisis hotline continues to provide immediate assistance to those in need.
