Message from President

It gives me immense pleasure to announce the release of the Abstract Book for Annual National Conference of Indian Psychiatric Society (ANCIPS) 2026, Delhi. This volume stands as a testament to the intellectual contributions and shared knowledge that defines our psychiatrist’s fraternity in the country. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Scientific Program Committee of Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) and the Organizing Committee of ANCIPS 2026, whose diligence and meticulous efforts in compiling, reviewing, and presenting the abstracts have made this publication possible. We had a record number of abstracts, over 1,000 this year, which stands testimony to the thriving research and academic environment in the country. The help of our committed Editorial Team is commendable in bringing out the supplement in a timely manner. The IPS is a vibrant national association deeply engaged in continued professional development keeping its members updated about the latest developments in psychiatry. ANCIPS is our annual flagship event for sharing, learning, brain storming, challenging new ideas and research findings as well as for socializing, networking, and professional camaraderie. As we embark on this academic extravaganza together, I welcome each one of you and encourage you to engage deeply, share generously, and carry forward the spirit of collaboration that makes the annual national conference a cornerstone of our professional identity. With warm regards and best wishes,
