WCP 25: 25th World Congress of Psychiatry

Together with our member societies, the Czech Psychiatric Association and Slovak Psychiatric Association, the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) is thrilled to invite you to the 25th WPA World Congress of Psychiatry (WCP 25) in the enchanting city of Prague, Czech Republic, from October 5-8, 2025.

There has never been a more critical time to explore "The Role of Psychiatry in the Changing World." With the dynamic shifts and unprecedented challenges we face globally, mental health remains at the forefront of healthcare priorities, demanding innovative and comprehensive approaches that encompass evidence-based treatment, prevention, and the promotion of self-help and healthy lifestyles.

WCP 25 will feature the 'Specialist Corner,' fostering insightful dialogues between our members and leading experts in various psychiatric fields. Our specialists will provide invaluable perspectives on topics ranging from psychosis, affective disorders, substance use disorders, and ADHD to contemporary issues such as internet addiction. Beyond professional engagement, we are dedicated to making educational materials accessible to patients, families, and the public, breaking down barriers to knowledge and understanding.

Prague, with its rich cultural heritage and stunning architecture, offers a unique and inspiring setting for WCP 25. As we delve into global mental health practices, this vibrant city will remind us of the importance of adaptable and culturally sensitive strategies. Prague's resilience and charm will undoubtedly enrich our discussions and collaborations.

Join us for an extraordinary event where the world's leading psychiatrists and thought leaders will learn, share, and network. With cutting-edge scientific discussions, invaluable networking opportunities, and Prague's captivating allure, WCP 25 promises to be an unforgettable experience.
