The theme for the 2025 Annual Meeting, "Lifestyle for Positive Mental and Physical Health," highlights the critical impact of regular physical activity, nutrition, restorative sleep, avoidance of harmful substances, social connectedness, and stress amelioration practices in improving mental and physical health outcomes.

Considerable evidence shows the effectiveness of these lifestyle interventions in both physical and mental health. Lifestyle interventions can be offered in addition to psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, other somatic therapy and with attention to social determinants of health, not only to ameliorate or cure illnesses, but to help people lead positive, meaningful lives.

Join APA’s 2025 Annual Meeting to discuss how we can work to help improve the lifestyle of our members, our patients, and the community at large, to enhance their mental and physical functioning, prevent illnesses, and ameliorate existing illnesses.
