- Clinical trials focused on enhancing resilience in individuals with anxiety or depression
- Neuroimaging studies of resilience to stress or trauma
- Research in animal models of resilience
- Novel resilience-focused programs (e.g., clinical, family or community-based, school- or college-based programs; programs for the elderly)
ADAA encourages:
- Any submissions pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment, and/or prevention of depression related disorders
- Interactive presentations comprised of both clinicians and researchers and speakers from different institutions.
- Submissions on diversity and those related to cultural, racial and socioeconomic barriers to mental health care.
The 2020 Conference committee is co-chaired by Cindy J. Aaronson, PhD, and Adriana Feder, MD. Please visit the ADAA website for #ADAA2020 submission and #ADAA2020 program updates. Please also view the "How to Submit" Guidelines.

 ADAA Welcomes Our 2019 Summer Intern
Caroline Armstrong is a rising senior studying Psychology and English at Duke University. Following her graduation, she would like to study clinical psychology research and practice. Caroline chose to intern with ADAA because she shares the organization’s commitment to making evidence-based treatments more widespread and because she wanted to learn more about the mental healthcare system. We’re delighted to welcome Caroline to the ADAA team and look forward to working with her on a number of professional education, marketing and membership projects.

Neurobiology of Fear and PTSD Lab - McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Belmont, Massachusetts
The Neurobiology of Fear and PTSD Lab was founded by ADAA member Dr. Kerry Ressler at Emory (Atlanta) in 2001 and moved to McLean (Boston) in 2015.
The Ressler Lab investigates the molecular, genetic, epigenetic, and neural circuit mechanisms underlying fear processes through an integration of animal models of fear learning and human genetic research. Our lab uses well-established mouse models to examine different aspects of fear learning (e.g., acquisition, consolidation and extinction). These models allow us to investigate the role of different brain regions, in particular the amygdala, as well as neural cell populations, and the underlying gene regulation in these cells in fear processing. Read more about the Neurobiology of Fear and PTSD Lab here.
If you are interested in featuring your research lab, please download this flyer for more information or contact Astrid Masfar.
Mary Alvord, PhD
“Although I have been an ADAA member for more than 20 years, I have become most involved in the past 6 years. My draw in recent years has been the complementary blend of evidence-based science and clinical practice. Bridging the gap between science and practice isn’t just a good name for a symposium, it’s a necessity! Regularly attending the annual conferences, presenting and participating in webinars, and co-hosting ADAA live Twitter chats has provided another professional home. I have been an APA Public Education Coordinator for over a decade. The mission is to disseminate accurate information about mental health to the public, promote mental health, and reduce stigma.” Read more about Dr. Alvord and ADAA here.
Dr. Alvord has also launched a nonprofit organization, Resilience Across Borders, Inc., a 501(c)(3) dedicated to increasing the resilience of children and adolescents as well as decreasing barriers to intervention. Through clinical practice, research, and training, we strive to enhance resilience and mental health for all. Currently, they are implementing the Resilience Builder Program® in schools in the Washington DC area. This is a group therapy program based on the foundations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help children enhance their social competence and self-regulation. Check out the segment on NPR to hear more about the Resilience Builder Program®! They also hope to expand the non-profit to develop technologies (e.g. augmented reality) to further access to mental health information and services.
You can learn more about the organization at www.resilienceacrossborders.org, and stay up-to-date with Resilience Across Borders as well as learn more about current work being done in the field of resilience by following our social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter.
Recent ADAA Live Public Webinar
 Thank you to ADAA board member Ken Goodman, LCSW for presenting a live public webinar (with 78 attendees participating) this past week on overcoming the fear of driving. There was a $10.00 donation fee for participants to attend and we raised $780.00 to support ADAA’s free public resources. This webinar also featured a former client of Ken’s who had struggled with the fear of driving. The recording of the webinar (free of charge to members) can be viewed here. We also invite you to read Ken’s blog post on this topic.

Something frightening or unpleasant does not go unnoticed. In our brain, the so-called limbic circuit of cells and connections immediately becomes active. First and foremost, such experiences activate the amygdala. In order for the brain to function properly, the siren must also be switched off again. For this, a restful REM sleep, the part of the sleep with the most vivid dreams, turns out to be essential.

Reports claiming that antidepressants are effective only in patients with severe depression have affected treatment guidelines, but these reports usually use a disputed measure of improvement, a decrease in the sum-score of the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, and are based on group-level rather than patient-level data.

Study findings published in International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health indicated a link between a biomarker of pesticide exposure and youth depression symptoms.
Teenagers in agricultural communities whose acetylcholinesterase activity indicated greater exposure to cholinesterase inhibitor pesticides had greater depression symptoms than those with less exposure, the results showed.

According to a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, both self-report and clinician rating should be used to fully assess depression in individuals. However, due to agreement between rating measures in symptom domains, self-report is sufficient to evaluate remission of major depressive disorder symptoms.

Among combat-exposed male veterans, trajectories for depression and anxiety decreased until age 60 years before increasing in later life, according to study results.
These findings, published in Psychology and Aging, suggest that combat exposure is a hidden variable for mental health in the aging population, according to the researchers.

A range of studies reveal the powerful effects grief can have on the body. Grief increases inflammation, which can worsen health problems you already have and cause new ones. It batters the immune system, leaving you depleted and vulnerable to infection. The heartbreak of grief can increase blood pressure and the risk of blood clots. Intense grief can alter the heart muscle so much that it causes "broken heart syndrome," a form of heart disease with the same symptoms as a heart attack.
