EDITORIALS : International Twined Congress - Psychiatry beyond DSM-5

Zdanowicz, Nicolas [UCL]

(eng) For several years, biological model is running out of innovative molecules. We managed to limit undesirable effects but the efficacy of our molecules reaches its limit. It is the case for antidepressants as well as for neuroleptic drugs. However, this brake on biological research didn’t shake the dynamism of our congress. Even if there are less communications about psychopharmacology, the other branches of psychiatry show an updated dynamism: social psychiatry, art therapy, care organization policy, psychotherapy, consequences of stress and recovery after stress, personality troubles… Concerning psychopharmacology, the researches performed aim to use interactions between different fields such as immune system and psychobiology, therapeutic collaboration and antidepressants, physical and mental health, care and ethics. Our congress has still a bright future.
