Hipaa has additional restriction/controls for psychotherapy notes as they are considered highly sensitive. I'd expect this is the same line of thinking in Germany.

Discussing your heart disease or skin condition is sensitive, but it's not as sensitive as discussing deeply personal thoughts or inner monologues.
