Newer Horizons and Frontiers in understanding ADHD across Lifespan 24,25 & 26 October 2025, ESCI, Gachibowli, Hyderabad Register now!
Welcome to
58th Annual Conference of
Indian Psychiatric Society South Zonal Branch
We are delighted to welcome you to Hyderabad : the 'City of pearls', the Biryani Nation, equally famous for its Deccan rock formations and skyscrapers, to convene for IPSOCON 2025 (24 October to 26 October).
We have chosen a novel theme “Newer Horizons and Frontiers in understanding ADHD across Lifespan : Across life span" for this conference. Rapid advances have taken place in the understanding of how ADHD presents in different age groups and its impact on individuals and families. The future generations of children, with their increasing dependence on technology and rapidly evolving skills, demand us to focus on updating our understanding of ADHD.
This conference aims to bring into focus various aspects of ADHD : diagnostic assessments, co-morbidities, pharmacological & psycho social treatments, latest research and Adult ADHD as well.
The subject is relatively new and exposure to child psychiatry is very limited at most training centres, but not for long. The organising committee is very enthusiastic about making this a comprehensive learning experience. Eminent speakers from across the globe will be joining to share invaluable insights.We are also confident that the Telangana state branch, having recently organised ANCIPS 2025 with resounding success, will spare no efforts to recreate their signature style, an atmosphere where scientific temper meets Nawabi hospitality. Certainly not an opportunity to be missed !
We look forward for your active participation and contribution. Join us to hone your clinical skills and become an ADHD expert in no time !

This year’s theme, “Psychiatry Redefined: Novel Interventions,” sets the stage for thought-provoking sessions, fresh perspectives, and engaging discussions that reflect the rapidly evolving landscape of mental health care. The pre-conference day on 12th September has been thoughtfully planned with postgraduate students in mind, and we’re confident it will offer practical takeaways and inspiring interactions.
We encourage all delegates—faculty, practitioners, and students—to actively participate in the free scientific paper and poster presentations, and contribute to the academic vibrance of the conference.
Apart from the academic offerings, we invite you to savour Chikkamagaluru’s local delicacies, including traditional Malnad cuisine and its world-famous filter coffee. We also encourage you to explore nearby gems like Mullayanagiri, Hebbe Falls, Hirekolale Lake, Kemmangundi, and the historic temples of Belur and Halebeedu—each offering a slice of Karnataka’s heritage and natural beauty.
We are working hard to ensure that your time with us is meaningful, comfortable, and memorable in every way.
See you in Chikkamagaluru!
