About the 2024 Congress
The first International Patient Congress Depression was more than just a conference; it was a 360-degree exploration of depression. The event offered a balanced approach, weaving expert insights, personal experiences, and interactive Q&A sessions – ensuring that the voices of patients and their loved ones were as prominent as those of the experts. The key focus was on people with depression: their stories, their questions, and their need for connection and understanding. The result was a supportive, engaging atmosphere that fostered learning, connection, and a deeper understanding of depression.
