In collaboration with:
The Third Latin American Congress on OCD is an event that facilitates dialogue and collaboration among various stakeholders committed to understanding and addressing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This event will be a space for academic, professional, and experiential exchange where the community can share knowledge and experiences to drive research and address challenges associated with OCD. Highlighting the pioneering LATINO study, which explores the genetics of OCD, the congress seeks to disseminate its findings to contribute to more precise diagnoses and effective treatments. Additionally, interdisciplinary connection is encouraged, fostering active participation of professionals, academics, and experts with diverse perspectives, thereby enriching the support network for the affected community.
The congress offers two specific tracks: one dedicated to providing information and support to patients living with OCD and their families, and another focused on knowledge exchange for professionals in the field of medicine, mental health professionals, and academia. This event represents a commitment to continuous improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of OCD through collaboration and the exchange of ideas among various sectors of society interested in this issue. The congress is structured into two tracks, ensuring accessibility and benefit for a wide range of people who have both lived and studied OCD.
This track has been specifically designed for professionals and academics who wish to train or are experts in the study and treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This track, focused exclusively on knowledge exchange, has been carefully designed to meet the needs of the medical, mental health, and academic communities. During the sessions, the latest findings from the LATINO study, an innovative research focused on the genetics of OCD, will be shared with the purpose of promoting significant advances in future diagnoses and treatments. The event represents a firm commitment to continuous improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of OCD, driven by collaboration and the exchange of ideas among various sectors of society dedicated to this issue.
