Scientific Sessions

Track 1: Psychiatric Disorders and their Manifestation

Psychiatric Disorders are disorders of brain function. It results from complex interactions between a person’s genes and the environment. The DSM and ICD separate mental disorders into separate categories. The goal of this session is to understand the manifestation, prognosis, treatment and diagnosis of various types of dissociative disorders.

Track 11: Diagnostic Approaches towards Psychiatry

The recent diagnostic systems for mental disorders depend upon signs and symptoms, of the disorders and also on the development of new treatments. Deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes or brain pacemaker within areas of brain. Those electrodes produce electrical impulses that regulate abnormal impulses. DBS is an interface between neurology and psychiatry. DBS is also being studied as a treatment for epilepsy, headaches, major depression and Tourette syndrome. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of the most invasive neuromodulation techniques available in recent times. Our conference will address all areas related to Psychosurgery, neuro feedback mechanism and side effects of DBS. In our conference we will be discussing about electroconvulsive therapy, somatic treatments including drugs and deep brain stimulation such as Trans cranial magnetic stimulation therapy, Electroencephalography and Magneto encephalography, Computed tomograph and Positron emission tomography.

Track 12: Cognitive Neuroscience

Cognitive Neuroscience is a branch concerned about both psychology and neuroscience. Cognitive neuroscience is all about perception, memory, action, and language. It can look at effects of damage to the brain and subsequently changes in the thought processes. Cognitive neuroscience has emerged from many other fields like psychology, neuroscience and computer science. Our conference will mainly emphasize on induced cognitive function and response, psychological aspects of cognitive neuroscience, cognitive impairment and prevention of relapse.

Track 13: Psychoactive Medication

Psychoactive Medication often helps in treating depression, anxiety and other psychological complications. It does not affect the underlying causes of these disorders, but it provides symptomatic relief to allow people to live more normal lives.

Psychotropic drugs for the treatment of mental illness are dependent on the disorder for which they are prescribed. Mainly it is used as an enhancing therapy for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Females (4.5%) were more likely than males (2.0%) to use antidepressants. The goal of this session is to understand the relationship between antipsychotics and psychotherapy, role of Akt/GSK3 signaling and dopamine in the action of psychotropic drugs.
