 ADAA Now Accepting Submissions for 2021 Annual Conference, Resilience & Recovery: From Research to Practice
#ADAA2021 – Resilience and Recovery: From Research to Practice – will be held March 18-21, 2021 in Boston, Massachusetts. Join your colleagues for more than 140 cutting-edge conference sessions, special events, and unique networking opportunities.
The 2021 ADAA Conference Committee invites you to submit your presentations for the 41st Annual Conference. ADAA leads the way in bringing together a multidisciplinary community of basic and clinical researchers and clinicians with diverse backgrounds in psychiatry, psychology, social work, counseling, nursing, neuroscience, and more.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE IMPACT OF COVID-19:
While ADAA is looking forward to hosting our annual conference, we recognize that the impact of COVID-19 may interfere with our ability to convene a fully in-person conference in Boston in 2021. As such, ADAA is planning for a variety of contingencies including offering our conference as a hybrid meeting or a virtual conference.
ADAA will continue to monitor the health situation and will provide regular updates. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we pursue our options on how to best offer you a broad-ranging education program and an engaging conference experience. The health and safety of our conference participants, conference attendees, partners, and staff remain our top priority.
- ATTENTION ACCEPTED 2020 SESSION PRESENTERS:
ADAA is pleased to announce that all accepted submissions for the 2020 Annual Conference will be automatically accepted for the 2021 conference and will not require additional peer review. Please note, however, that ADAA has launched a new submissions portal for 2021 so you must resubmit your 2020 accepted presentation. While ADAA encourages you to update your data as appropriate the overall topic cannot be changed. If you wish to submit a new session abstract, it must be treated as a new submission.
ADAA also encourages new research poster submissions. Poster sessions are lively, engaging sessions promoting the exchange of new research findings in a visual format. Poster sessions are interactive and provide an opportunity to interact with researchers, to ask questions, discuss findings, and share information. Regardless of the final format of the 2021 Annual Conference, ADAA will be incorporating poster sessions. Click here for more information or click here to begin your submission.

ADAA Board Member
"I first became involved in 2008, when my mentors Kerry Ressler and Barbara Rothbaum, who were very active in ADAA, encouraged me to apply for the Travel Award. I was fortunate to get the award in 2009, and have been coming to the ADAA conference every year since then. I have found ADAA to be a wonderful place to network with clinicians and researchers—it is small enough to be able to get to know most members, but also bring in new mentees to the field of anxiety. It is an excellent place to learn and grow a career. Over time I became more and more involved with ADAA and in 2015 Dr. Ressler and I were co-chairs of the conference program. I have now become more involved in mentoring trainees—after several years of being a mentor on the Career Development Leadership Program (CDLP), I am now one of the co-chairs of this program—this allows me to provide the kinds of career opportunities that ADAA gave me more than a decade ago. Now I bring my own mentees every year and several have received travel awards!”

The effects of COVID-19 are here to stay, including in the brain, at least according to a new study by Mario Mazza and colleagues in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. Patients in the study had their mental health assessed using clinical interviews and commonly used self-assessment screening tools. One month after they presented to the emergency room with COVID-19 and then were either treated in the hospital or at home, out of 402 patients, 55 percent were found to have at least one psychiatric disorder. These included: post-traumatic stress disorder in 28 percent, depression in 31 percent, anxiety in 42 percent, insomnia in 40 percent, and obsessive-compulsive disorder in 20 percent.

Pandemics can be indiscriminate, with viruses making no distinctions among the victims they attack and those they spare. If you’re human, you’ll do. COVID-19 has been different, particularly when it comes to age. The disease has shown a special animus for older people, with those 65-plus considered at especially high risk for hospitalization and death, and those 18 and below catching a semblance of an epidemiological break. Though a small share of adolescents have suffered severe cases, most who contract the disease in that age cohort are likelier to experience milder symptoms or none at all.
But if COVID-19 is sparing most kids’ bodies, it’s not being so kind to their minds. Nobody is immune to the stress that comes with a pandemic and related quarantining. Children, however, may be at particular risk.

This year, with a pandemic, a recession and an election shredding Americans’ nerves, concerns about questionable marketing practices, data mining, and ethical dilemmas at Talkspace — an app that lets people text and chat with a licensed therapist throughout the day — are relevant to more people than ever before: In May, Talkspace told The Washington Post that its client base had jumped 65 percent since mid-February.
“The app-ification of mental health care has real problems,” said Hannah Zeavin, a lecturer in the English department at the University of California, Berkeley whose book about teletherapy is scheduled to be published next year by MIT Press. “These are corporate platforms first. And they offer therapy second.”

A new study from Australian National University examined the coexistence of anxiety and depression. Over time the pairing had a profound effect on brain areas associated with memory and emotional processing (the hippocampus). The study, published in The Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, observed people with depression and anxiety to learn the simultaneous effects of both disorders on the brain. The researchers examined 10,000 people and found those with depression alone had lower brain volumes, especially in the hippocampus. According to the study’s authors, this becomes even more relevant later in life because a smaller hippocampus is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and may accelerate the development of dementia. The second finding revealed that when both anxiety and depression occur together, no shrinkage appeared to the hippocampus, and the amygdala—the part of the brain linked to emotions—increased in size.

This case-control study used data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study to examine associations between the use of specific antidepressants and select birth defects. Many first-line agents for depression and anxiety – including specific SSRIs, bupropion, and especially venlafaxine – were associated with an increased risk of birth defects if used during early pregnancy.

The body makes serotonin naturally, but there are some ways to increase its production. For example, certain medications, dietary factors, and exercise might promote increased serotonin levels.
In people who are not experiencing depression, it is unclear whether increasing serotonin will be beneficial. However, for those who are, some may find that addressing serotonin deficiencies could help with symptoms.
