I am so pleased that the 14th Scientific Meeting of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrists will be covering the topic of climate change. No matter what the underlying cause of climate change, there seems good evidence that the world's climate changes constantly, but the rate of change varies from time to time. We need to be prepared for climate change and not only for the physical effects of this on human populations. The mental health consequences of drought, increased storms, sea level changes, food shortages, as well as the migration of arable land from one region to another will cause considerable mental health challenges for many parts of the world and particularly around the Pacific Rim. I look forward to Prof Raphael's presentation and similar contributions from other speakers at the PRCP meeting from Thurs 28 Oct to Sat 30 Oct in Brisbane. Go to www.prcp.org and follow the links to the conference.
The effects of climate change such as drought, frequent storms and increasingly warm weather are causing health problems for people living in some South Pacific islands and other places. This topic will be covered at the PRCP Scientific Meeting on Oct 28-30, 2010 at Brisbane Convention Centre. All mental health professionals are welcome to attend.
A major neuroscience theme will be part of the program at the PRCP Scientific Meeting in Brisbane from Oct 28-30, 2010. A highlight of this program theme will be sessions on the interface between psychiatry and epilepsy conducted by world expert speakers. All mental health professionals are welcome.
