Together with our member societies, the Czech Psychiatric Association and Slovak Psychiatric Association, WPA is thrilled to invite you to the 25th WPA World Congress of Psychiatry 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.

It is my honor to welcome you to the 25th World Congress of Psychiatry (WCP 2025), set against the breathtaking backdrop of Prague. From October 5-8, 2025, we will transform this historic city into a hub of psychiatric excellence, where the WPA’s 2023-2026 action plan will guide our discussions and collaborations, emphasizing our unwavering commitment to enhancing mental health and well-being worldwide.

Our Congress will feature the ‘Specialist Corner,’ fostering insightful dialogues between our members and leading experts across various psychiatric fields. From tackling psychosis, affective disorders, substance use disorders, and ADHD, to addressing contemporary issues such as internet addiction, our specialists will provide invaluable perspectives. Beyond professional engagement, we are dedicated to making educational materials accessible to patients, families, and the public, breaking down barriers to knowledge and understanding.
