Our tradition of gathering international experts in a collegial environment, fostering open dialogue between speakers, experts, and attendees, remains a core part of our meeting. The interactive atmosphere, both within the sessions and during the breaks, allows for rich discussions that extend well beyond the presentations themselves.<\/p><p>This year, we delve into exciting new developments in treatment-resistant mood and anxiety disorders, explore novel therapeutic approaches, and examine the impact of the gut microbiota on mental health. Discussions also include the latest in dementia treatment, the evolving role of genetics and psychotherapy in psychiatric care, and how emerging therapies like psilocybin reshape our understanding of treatment efficacy. We further address the management of cognitive impairments in both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, among other key topics.<\/p><p>We expect a vibrant exchange of knowledge on these subjects, building on the latest research and clinical experiences. With Budapest as our host city, we also look forward to providing a memorable backdrop for professional connections, international collaboration, and the warm reunion of our IFMAD community. We eagerly anticipate seeing you in Budapest for this special 20th edition of IFMAD, where together, we continue to push the boundaries of psychiatric research and treatment.<\/p><p><strong>A warm welcome from the IFMAD chairpersons!<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> if (typeof(f_tFlgVISA) === typeof(Function))  \tf_tFlgVISA(null);  if (typeof(f_tFlgAllergia) === typeof(Function))  \tf_tFlgAllergia(null);  if (typeof(f_IDTipologia) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar eObjTYPE = document.getElementById(\"id_IDTipologia\");  \tf_IDTipologia(eObjTYPE);  }  if (typeof(f_IDAttivita) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgActivity = document.getElementById(\"id_IDAttivita\");  \tf_IDAttivita(etFlgActivity);  }  if (typeof(f_IDNazionalita) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgNazionalita = document.getElementById(\"id_IDNazionalita\");  \tf_IDNazionalita(etFlgNazionalita);  }  if (typeof(f_IndFattIDNazione) === typeof(Function))  \tf_IndFattIDNazione(null);  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda15141) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda15141 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda15141\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda15141 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda15141(etFlgDomanda15141);  \t}  }  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda15155) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda15155 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda15155\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda15155 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda15155(etFlgDomanda15155);  \t}  }  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda15147) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda15147 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda15147\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda15147 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda15147(etFlgDomanda15147);  \t}  }  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda15221) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda15221 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda15221\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda15221 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda15221(etFlgDomanda15221);  \t}  }  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda15862) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda15862 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda15862\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda15862 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda15862(etFlgDomanda15862);  \t}  }  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda15220) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda15220 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda15220\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda15220 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda15220(etFlgDomanda15220);  \t}  }  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda16092) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda16092 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda16092\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda16092 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda16092(etFlgDomanda16092);  \t}  }  if (typeof(f_IDDomanda16094) === typeof(Function)) {  \tvar etFlgDomanda16094 = document.getElementById(\"id_IDDomanda16094\");  \tif (etFlgDomanda16094 != null) {  \t\tf_IDDomanda16094(etFlgDomanda16094);  \t}  }  <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome 20th International Forum on Mood and Anxiety Disorders Welcome Letter Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 20th International Forum on Mood and Anxiety Disorders (IFMAD), which is taking place in the beautiful city of Budapest from Wednesday, 4 June, to Friday, 6 June 2025.As we&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"iawp_total_views":252,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-241","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=241"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1727,"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/241\/revisions\/1727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ifmad.org\/2025\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
