Conference Series is currently bringing “35th International Conference on Psychiatry and Mental Health” programmed to be held during May 18-19, 2020 at Osaka, Japan. The conference invites all the participants across the globe to attend and share their visions and convey current developments in the field of Psychiatry and Mental Health .Psychiatric Congress 2020  aims to provide expert insight into recent advances in key areas of psychology, and a balanced perspective on how these may influence guidelines and patient management and  brings together researchers, eminent investigators, medical practitioners, scientist, professor, eminent speakers and other key people to discuss the innovative research and advanced applications in the field of Psychiatry at an international platform. The Organizing Committee also invites young researchers and students to have quick access to the knowledge that might advance their research.  The vision behind this is to serve as a unique global platform for Psychologist ,Psychotherapist , Surgeons and Researchers from world-renowned institutions to share and exchange new clinical studies and advancements in dealing with mental diseases.

Mental health is a major concern worldwide . If we evaluate developments in the field of mental health, the pace appears to be slow. Dr. Brock Chisholm, the first Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1954, had presciently declared that “without mental health there can be no true physical health. More than 60 years later, the scenario has not altered substantially. About 14% of the global burden of disease is attributed to neuropsychiatric disorders. The burden of mental disorders is likely to have been underestimated because of inadequate appreciation of the inter-play between mental illness and other health disorders. There remain considerable issues of priority-setting based on the burden of health problems and of addressing inequalities in relation to determinants and solutions for health problems.
