Psychiatric disorders are complex conditions that have a significant impact on how an individual interacts with their immediate surroundings. They disturb the person's concepts regarding themself, relationships, and everyday functioning. From anxiety and depression to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, each presents unique challenges and, at the same time, creates a felt impact on emotional and mental well-being. At the Psychiatry and Addiction World Conference (PAWC) 2025, we are committed to a humancentric approach that investigates the science behind these disorders and comprises inspiring stories of resilience. The conference will address breakthrough research and compassionate discussions to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, focusing on integrative, innovative solutions.
