Background  Web-based treatments and online self-management interventions extend the range of therapeutic supply. Since the number of online self-management interventions is steadily increasing, we aimed to examine, how web-based services currently influence mental health care, asking about previous internet use and future interests of patients with mental disorders.    Methods  We consulted patients ( n  = 400) from all services of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University of Leipzig using a 28-item questionnaire. Overall, 301 questionnaires could be used for analysis. The data were analysed by means of descriptive statistics and group comparisons.    Results  The majority of patients (98.3%) were using the internet. Data revealed younger patients were searching for information on diseases ( p  < .001; M = 35.7 ±13.2), psychiatrists ( p  < .001; M = 34.6 ±11.6) and exchange with other patients ( p  < .001; M = 32 ±10.6) more often than older patients. We also found the internet was consulted more often regarding the search for information  (p  = .011; M = 58.3 ±10.9) and psychiatrists ( p  < .001; M = 35.7 ±13.2) the lower the patients’ level of functioning was. While only a small proportion (10.1%) of the sample had used online self-management interventions before, there is a far greater number (46.1%) who stated an interest to use online self-management interventions in the future. This interest was greater in patients who were younger  (p  < .001; M = 33.8 ±13.2) had a higher education level ( p  = .003; university degree = 59.2%, high school degree = 52.3%; mandatory school degree: 34.8%).    Conclusions  While only a small percentage of patients uses online self-management interventions, there is a far greater interest to include them into the treatment. Further research has to investigate how the integration of web-based services into the whole treatment process can be optimized. In addition, standardized diagnostic methods have to be found to evaluate the needs and experiences of patients.
