Revolutionising mental health care with integrative approaches The Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) Conference returns September 11–14, 2025 in San Diego Taking place September 11–14, 2025 at the award-winning Town and Country Resort in San Diego, California, this four-day, in-person event (virtual tickets also available) brings together over 1000 globally recognized experts, as well as seasoned and beginning practitioners in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry to transform mental health care. The way mental health is currently diagnosed and treated falls short of the need, and the stakes are high. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in every 8 people in the world live with a mental disorder whether that’s anxiety, depression, insomnia, poor concentration, poor memory, attention disorders, brain fog, as well as severe conditions such as suicidality and psychosis. IMMH addresses this urgent need by going beyond symptom management to treat the root causes of mental illness with personalized, precision approaches. "Having personally experienced the devastating challenges of mental illness and coming from a family history profoundly marked by it, I have made it my mission to bring better mental health care into the mainstream," says Kirkland Newman, IMMH Executive Director. "I believe in a future where mental health is accurately understood and treated based on root causes, and offering personalised, precision solutions. At IMMH, we aim to provide education and resources to those suffering from mental health issues, their friends and families and health practitioners.” MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, psychotherapists, psychologists, nutritionists, naturopaths, chiropractors, social workers, and even a few passionate laypeople will gather to learn the latest in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry. The program will highlight best clinical practices and new research addressing the biochemical, psycho-spiritual, and lifestyle factors that shape mental health. Leading researchers, clinicians, and practitioners in the field will share their expertise. This year’s theme, The Anthropogenic Drivers of Mental Health, will examine how human behaviors, societal structures and environmental influences impact mental wellbeing – and how integrative medicine can heal the individual, the community and the planet. Conference highlights include: Interactive sessions from leaders in the field on a host of cutting-edge and timely topics such as the gut-brain-immune connection, psychoneuroimmunology, metabolic, mitochondrial and nutritional psychiatry, psychedelics and spirituality, circadian rhythms, environmental toxicity, infections and the brain, genomics, hormones, trauma, and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders (and more). A focus on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction and dementia – with actionable, whole-person strategies for care. Networking opportunities, immersive workshops and exclusive events designed to connect attendees with one another and with leading voices in the industry.
