Mental Health World Conference 2026
Scientific Sessions
Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention
At the Mental Health World Conference (MHWC 2026), this crucial session will feature perspectives from emergency psychiatrists, crisis intervention experts, suicide researchers, and policy leaders working at the forefront of prevention. Discussions will cover real-time risk identification, online and hotline-based services, prevention models in schools and communities, and postvention approaches supporting survivors and caregivers.
The Anxiety, OCD, and Trauma Related Disorders Session at MHWC 2026 will be an in depth analysis of the complicated interaction among anxiety disorders, obsessions/compulsions, related disorders, and trauma-related psychopathology. This session will feature experts in clinical psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience discussing new diagnostic techniques and the neurobiology underlying the development of disorders, including the role of dysregulated fear circuitry, stress, and cognitive control. This session will pay special attention to differential diagnosis since generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and PTSD share similar presentations in their symptoms and can pose difficulties for clinicians.
This year, the major emphasis will be on new treatment options and evidence-based therapies. Psychotherapeutic approaches that can be used to treat anxiety, OCD, and trauma disorders, as well as their combination in cases when established approaches prove ineffective, will be addressed during the session. New approaches to drug therapy, including novel medications used to relieve anxiety and augment traditional drugs' effects, will be discussed in this section as well. This session will also be devoted to discussing the combination of technologies in the therapeutic process of managing anxiety disorders and their complications.
