Current and Past Psychiatry Section Events & Conferences:
CMDA 2026 National Convention – Lifestyle Psychiatry Presentations
Lifestyle-related behaviors—such as sedentary behavior, physical inactivity, poor nutrition, disrupted sleep and substance use—are increasingly recognized as important factors in the onset and persistence of mental illness. Evidence for the efficacy and cost-efficiency of lifestyle interventions in mental health is growing, and such approaches are now embedded in international guidelines and endorsed by major health organizations and associations as ‘lifestyle psychiatry’. Nevertheless, despite this progress, these interventions remain underused in mental healthcare and support.
