What is the Maudsley Mediterranean Forum (MMF)?
Since 2007, the Institute of Psychiatry of King's College London has regularly exported its worldwide reputation for psychiatric research and clinical care to the centre of the Mediterranean. Thus, in this tradition of new learning and new experiences, 5th MMF will provide an update on social, psychological and biological aspects of psychiatric disorders, reviewing both advances in understanding the disorders and exciting new methods of treatment.
Registrations for the Fifth Edition of The Maudsley Mediterranean Forum (the 5th MMF) are now closed.
The meeting took place in the enchanting city of Palermo, Sicily, from the 21st to the 24th of May 2018.

They presented the most recent advances in Hot Topics in the fields of Psychotic and Mood Disorders, Addiction, Pharmacological and Psychological Treatment Interventions, Eating Disorders, Genetics and Epigenetics in Psychiatry, Neuroimaging and Neurocognition, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
Who was the Forum for?
