Hospital for the lovesick

Munich: A clinic for the broken-hearted has been set up in Germany to give treatment to those who have been dumped by their partners.

Set up by Munich-based Dr Birgit Delisle, the clinic in the Schwabing Hospital is aimed primarily at lovesick teenagers who do not know how to cope with a broken relationship.

According to Delisle, heartbreaks can lead to physical and psychological problems.

One can suffer from loss of appetite, which leads to sudden weight loss, and it can also lead to mental stress.

The free clinic in the Bavarian capital will have experts on hand to advise both sexes on how to cope with being single.
