Conference bringing together global experts on the future of mental healthcare and functional psychiatry, featuring keynote presentations, workshops and panel discussions.
IMMH 2026 runs from October 8 to 11 at the Town and Country Resort in San Diego, with the option to join in person or virtually. The acronym stands for Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, and the conference brings together clinicians, researchers, and practitioners from across the globe. It's a gathering focused on functional psychiatry, and the whole thing is built around a specific philosophy: treating the root causes of mental illness rather than just managing the symptoms. That means leaning on root-cause, precision, and personalized interventions—non-drug approaches that combine biochemical, psycho-spiritual, and lifestyle factors.
The program keeps a close eye on scientific and medical credibility, with a good deal of the focus on cutting-edge research into environmental toxins and infections. A few of the key themes this year are metabolic psychiatry, personalized care that integrates nutrition, hormones, and immune function, trauma science, and psychedelic-assisted therapies. It's not just a series of lectures, either. The format mixes keynote presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, and the educational content is CE/CME-accredited.
Beyond the sessions, there's a strong emphasis on clinical best practice and a supportive global community of practitioners. The organizers describe it as the world's leading gathering in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry, and the mission they talk about is to revolutionize mental health care by shifting the focus toward those root causes. If you're in the field, it's a chance to hear from experts and connect with other practitioners working in this space.
