From 3 to 6 March, Prague Congress Centre hosted the 20th European Congress of Psychiatry.
The congress brought about 3500 experts on psychiatry of all specializations from many European countries. Under the motto “Beyond Diversity Towards Harmony”, a large number of lectures and workshops took place. According to one of the members of the organizing committee, well-known Czech psychiatrist Cyril Höschl, in some areas of psychiatry and in various European countries there are different views on the nature and treatment of some diseases.
Therefore, the purpose of the congress was to clarify these opinions and agree on the common procedures in the diagnosis and treatment. Other topics discussed this year were the genetics of the syndrome of attention disorders in children or individualized treatment of alcoholism.
