2nd Eastern European Psychiatric Congress and Annual Conference of the Russian Society of Psychiatrists
Collaborating for Mental Health
This Congress follows the very successful First Eastern European Congress that took place in Thessaloniki, Greece in September 2007. The Psychiatric Association for Eastern Europe and the Balkans is rather young, but psychiatry in our region has a long-standing tradition and rapid recent development. The state of the art in mental health is characterized by a variety of challenges in diagnosis, aetiology, pathogenesis and management of mental diseases, psychosomatic and stress-related disorders as well as challenges regarding hot issues like suicide and re-organization of psychiatric services towards community direction. The consequences of the transition in the countries of the former socialist system, natural and man-made disasters, war conflicts, the ecological situation – all these factors constitute new tasks in psychiatry today. The high prevalence of socially significant mental illnesses and the wide range of treatment approaches set a mission to mental health professionals. One of the main additional challenges for psychiatry in our days is collaboration with other mental health care professionals, a collaboration that should be achieved with respect for expertise and for each other’s “territory”, if we want to fulfill our obligation to improve the care of our patients.
