Biolab records unprecedented podcast episode on mental health at Brain Congress 2025, in Fortaleza (CE)
Biolab Farmacêutica reaffirms its commitment to promoting initiatives that value mental health in a humanized way by participating in Brain Congress 2025, one of the most important meetings focused on innovations and scientific debate in the field of mental health and neuroscience. The Brain Congress connects neuroscience to clinical practice through a multidisciplinary approach. With renowned specialists, the event enables professionals to offer more effective diagnoses and treatments in mental and neurological health. The event takes place between June 18 and 21, at the Centro de Eventos do Ceará, in Fortaleza (CE).
Among the initiatives promoted by the company at the event is the scientific symposium taking place on June 18, with the presence of psychiatrists Dr. Carmita Abdo, professor at the University of São Paulo Medical School (FMUSP), and researcher Márcia Kauer, Associate Professor at the Department of Psychiatry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). The central theme of the symposium will be "The role of the sigma-1 receptor and the use of fluvoxamine in the treatment of depression", highlighting innovative therapeutic approaches in the fight against one of the conditions that most affects the quality of life of the world's population. According to the Ministry of Health, the lifetime prevalence of depression in Brazil is 15.5%. Last year, the Ministry of Social Security reported almost half a million sick leaves due to anxiety and depression - the highest number in 10 years.
As well as contributing to the scientific debate, Biolab will also be presenting an unprecedented event during the congress: the live recording of a special episode of the Biolab Conectados podcast, which is produced in partnership with its animal health business unit, Avert. The initiative discusses issues related to mental health and the positive impact of animals on human well-being, reinforcing the importance of complementary and integrative approaches to mental health care.
"Participating in Brain Congress 2025 is an opportunity to share knowledge and foster new perspectives in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Biolab is an innovative company with a mission to bring health and quality of life to the population and, without a doubt, mental health is the first step towards integral well-being," says Tati Marques, Biolab's Director of Corporate Communication and Sustainability.
