Scope and Importance

Addiction 2018 aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects such as; Advances in Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery in addiction, psychiatry, and psychological disorders. It also provides the premier interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in the field of addiction and psychiatry.

 One in four individual in the globe will be affected by mental disorders at some point in their lives. About 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill health worldwide. Psychiatry is more vital to the common public than ever before, and with the rise of reported mental health and behavioral health issues, it might seem a bit confusing as to why personalities still tend to ignore the consequences of leaving these symptoms crude. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that the suicide rate of Americans aged 35-64 years has risen almost 29 percent from 1999 to 2010.  In Europe, the rate of employees reporting mental health issues to their employers has risen to two out of every five workers. Tremendous amounts of studies, an increase in global awareness and a shift in attitude towards treating and helping those with behavioral or mental health issues have likely brought more of these issues to light. So this conference will provide novel technologies in the development of addiction, psychiatry and psychological disorders.
