About the event

🌍 WCP 2026: 26th World Congress of Psychiatry in Stockholm 🇸🇪

Join us as the World Psychiatric Association (WPA), in collaboration with the Swedish Psychiatric Association, invites you to the 26th WPA World Congress of Psychiatry (WCP 26) in the vibrant heart of Stockholm, Sweden from 23-26 September 2026.

Our guiding theme, “Guided by Compassion, Grounded in Science: Psychiatry for Our Time,” encapsulates the core of contemporary psychiatric practice. As we navigate a swiftly evolving landscape, it is crucial that psychiatry harmonizes empirical knowledge with empathy. This Congress will evaluate how mental health professionals can tackle today’s challenges with kindness, maintain ethical integrity, and innovate responsibly to address the ever-changing requirements of our society.

📍 Why Stockholm?
Set against the backdrop of a city celebrated for its progressive ideals and breathtaking natural vistas, WCP 2026 is poised to be an inspiring arena for exchange, collaboration, and enlightenment. The WPA 2023-2026 Action Plan will continue to direct our efforts towards significant priorities in research, preventive care, education, and global partnerships.

🔍 Key Features:

Specialist Corner: Engage with leading experts discussing crucial topics such as psychotic disorders, affective disorders, trauma, substance use, neurodevelopmental conditions, and digital mental health.
Healthy Lifestyle Focus: We will highlight the importance of physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and overall wellness, with a particular emphasis on mental health challenges faced by youths in an increasingly digital environment.
