I can’t imagine my career without ADAA.
It has provided friends, professional
networking, a must-see annual meeting,
journal and web-based materials for me
and my patients.
It’s a priceless resource for advancing
my career.
Karen Cassiday, PhD, ACT
2016 President-Elect

I never thought I would experience severe anxiety.
But thanks to modern medicine, I can live a
somewhat normal life. I’m grateful to the doctors and
drug companies who have made this possible.

#ADAAis35
ADAA has been my
professional home and
a pillar in my career for
25 years. An invaluable

#ADAAis35
ADAA is my professional
home. Its commitment to
member interests and to
community building is
unparalleled.
Carmela Alcantara, PhD

#ADAAis35
You have to want to change. Treatment alone can’t make
you change, and you have to apply what you learn to
succeed in the “real” world outside of treatment.

“
”
ADAA has given me access to training in evidenced-based
treatments, which gave me the confidence to open my own
practice. And it provided me with the opportunity to train other
clinicians so that fewer people suffer with the devastating
effects of anxiety and depression.
I have met some of my best friends and colleagues through
ADAA. Thank you!
Kimberly Morrow, LCSW #ADAAIS35

Past, Present, and Future

depression. We can always find
a way to show the bright side to
feel better about ourselves.
Believe in yourself — and no one
can put you down.

ADAA has played a central
role in my career, from my
receiving an ADAA travel
award well over a decade
ago to each annual meeting I
have attended since.

#ADAAis35
I overcame 20 years of panic by learning to choose
thoughts of positive possibilities instead of “terribilities!”
Never give up!!

I have learned that
anxiety and depression
go hand-in-hand, and
there is no shame in
having either.

 P.S. You’re not going to die.
Here’s the white-hot truth: If
you go bankrupt, you'll still be
okay. If you lose the gig, the
lover, the house, you'll still be
okay. If you sing off-key, get
the beat by the competition;
have your heart shattered, get
fired...it’s not going to kill you.
Ask anyone who’s been
through it.
 Jonathan Lammers

#ADAAis35
ADAA is a place to spend time with colleagues who

It’s been a great pleasure to be
a member of ADAA over the last
two decades of extraordinary
growth in the organization and
our field, and also to serve on its
Scientific Council.
Andrew W. Goddard, MD

#ADAAis35
I believe ADAA stands alone in the ability to
interact with colleagues from various disciplines.
At other conferences I see and hear speakers.
At ADAA I also get to meet them.
Mark B. Powers, PhD

#ADAAis35
With your comfort
object, you can
accomplish anything.
My anxiety will not
disappear, but the way
I wear clothing can
always be my choice.
Laura

#ADAAis35
I went from fear to freedom; so can you!

“
”
You are not alone. I have been dealing with
depression for years, panic attacks, and anxiety. My
medication helps me, but you have to work on it all
the time. I’m showing my support to all others out
there dealing with these issues.
Christine
#ADAAIS35

#ADAAis35

1980: My first panic attack. There was no name for it or much
information. I recouped with help from God and my family.
2014: My second panic attack with a topping of
depersonalization just for fun. God, my family and
friends, my doctor, and a therapist and your website helped
me this time. I still wrestle with it. But with information from
ADAA and others, I know the big difference is that I am not
alone and in time I’ll be OK.
#ADAAIS35

#ADAAis35
The ADAA conference has
everything I want. I feel energized
and ready to innovate my practice.
It renews my connections with those
in research and practice and feeds
my interests in being part of a
mental health community that is
inclusive of all disciplines.
Luana Marques, PhD

#ADAAis35
ADAA helps me network with
other researchers to promote
science, education,
advocacy, and clinical care
that benefits people affected
by anxiety and depression.
Dina R. Hirshfeld-Becker, PhD

#ADAAis35
Make the choice to think
differently about your life: Listen
to music, hug a puppy, walk on
the beach — do something to lift
your spirits. It works!
Get out of your head and start
living!
Kim

#ADAAis35
The networking, knowledge, and
training I've obtained through

Education Committee not only
allows me to share my passion
with others, it has also opened
many doors professionally, from
blogging for the Huffington Post

Andrea Umbach, PsyD

“

I can't give up fighting for access, advocacy, resources, and even
acknowledgment of suffering with anxiety, PTSD, depression, and
trauma — and having nowhere to turn for help.
I can’t and won’t give up for my nieces and nephews who are going
through exactly what I went through: Hospitalizations for suicide
attempts and no help. They are my fight!

#ADAAis35

Without ADAA, even fewer people would have
access to information about their diagnosis and
how to find support and successful treatment for
anxiety disorders and OCD.
I rely on ADAA for current research, listings of
therapists, and information about effective
therapy and medication.
Laura Lokers, LMSW
#ADAAIS35

#ADAAis35
I know it’s possible to overcome suffering from
panic attacks because I did. When I learned to
walk into my fears, I found that they disappeared.
I became a believer in cognitive and behavioral
approaches, and now I’m a therapist.

#ADAAis35
ADAA provides terrific up-to-
date research, interesting
