International Congress On Mood Disorders
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are all united by a common purpose: to better understand and address the complexities of mood disorders. These challenges remain at the forefront of mental health care, affecting countless lives around the globe.As clinicians, researchers and advocates, our collective efforts are more vital than ever. It is through shared knowledge and collaboration that we can make meaningful strides in improving the lives of those we serve.
Following the remarkable success of our first International Congress on Mood Disorders
( ICOM24)—where we had the pleasure of hosting 238 participants and 22 distinguished speakers
from 8 countries—we are excited to extend a warm invitation to join us for ICOM25. This year’s congress will take place from May 1-4, 2025, at The Westin Hotel in the beautiful city of Zagreb, Croatia. Together, we will explore the latest research, innovative therapies, and collaborative strategies that are shaping the future of mood disorder treatment.
A highlight of ICOM24 was the participation of three renowned research consortiums that are leading the way in our field. Paul Thompson and his colleagues from ENIGMA, Martha Sajatovic from GAGE-BD, and Melvin McInnis from the Global Bipolar Cohort Network shared valuable insights and extended an invitation for researchers to join their groundbreaking work. Their presence underscored the importance of global collaboration in advancing our understanding of mood disorders, and we are thrilled to continue this tradition of excellence at ICOM25.
The upcoming congress will once again feature a carefully curated program that covers a broad spectrum of topics—from the neurobiological underpinnings of mood disorders to the latest psychosocial interventions. Esteemed speakers from around the world will share their expertise, sparking thoughtful discussions that cross both borders and disciplines.
Beyond the academic sessions, ICOM25 offers a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues who share your passion for mental health. Whether you are looking to forge new collaborations or reconnect with old friends, the congress provides an ideal setting for meaningful interactions that can spark new ideas and drive innovation.
We would be honored to have you with us at ICOM25, where we will come together to learn, share, and shape the future of psychiatric care. Your presence would greatly enrich the discussions and contribute to the success of this gathering.
We look forward to welcoming you to Zagreb for what promises to be an inspiring and impactful event.
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Çağdaş Eker,
President of Scientific Program Organization Committee
