The Korea-Japan Young Psychiatrists’ Conference (KJYPC) was originally established by Prof. Byung Kun Min and Prof. Masahisa Nishizono as the Joint Workshop for Psychiatric Residents of Korea & Japan. Afterwards, the Korea-Japan Young Psychiatrists Academy has held the conference every year as the organizer since 2013. The advantage of the KJYPC is the community mainly for the young psychiatrists who have promising possibilities in the future, and the face-to-face conference where the participants have a fruitful time. The presentation topics that showed the trends in psychiatry in Korea and Japan were various and different for these 20 years. The similarity and the difference of the psychiatric issues between Korea and Japan are affected by their cultures. The educational system for psychiatrists is also partially different between Korea and Japan. The KJYPC gives the good opportunity for young psychiatrists to know the cultural psychiatry in Korea and Japan, to discuss the psychiatric topics in the clinical practice, and to understand the persons one another beyond the country. In the presentation, the cultural effect on mental health in Japan will be also discussed.
