Lauren Wadsworth, PhD
”I became a member of ADAA my first year of graduate school (2012). My mentor, Dr. Sarah Hayes-Skelton, highly recommended the annual conference as a way to gain additional training and insights on treating anxiety and researching mechanisms of anxiety development and treatment. Since then, I have attended the conference yearly.
"I enjoy the conference as a way to connect with other anxiety researchers and clinicians. I appreciate that the conference has historically felt more focused on clinical work and is smaller/more intimate than other conferences I have attended. I also appreciate that ADAA has explicitly committed to increasing the percentage of multiculturally informed presentations and roundtables. Most recently, I have valued serving as a co-chair of the Multicultural Advances Special Interest Group with Dr. Briana Woods-Jaeger.”

 Introducing Mental Health for All
Are you looking for additional resources to support your mental health during these stressful times?
The Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital recently released a free online course, featuring ADAA President Luana Marques, PhD, for individuals, teams, and organizations seeking skills for navigating stressful situations. In this course, participants will meet three individuals who learn and practice science-based skills for building resilience. Anyone enrolled in the course will have the opportunity to test their own knowledge of the skills and begin applying them in their own lives.
 Study on Effect of Yoga on Generalized Anxiety Disorder
ADAA members Naomi Simon, MD, MSc, Stefan Hofmann, PhD, and Elizabeth Hoge, MD with collaborators Eric Bui, MD, Sat Bir Khalsa, PhD, Susanne Hoeppner PhD, and David Rosenfield, PhD authored a newly published study in JAMA Psychiatry entitled "Efficacy of Yoga vs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy vs Stress Education for the Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial.”
In this randomized clinical trial of 226 adults with generalized anxiety disorder, 12-week group treatment with either Kundalini yoga or CBT was more effective than the stress education control condition, but the non-inferiority test did not find Kundalini yoga to be as effective as CBT. However, after six months of follow-up, the CBT response remained significantly better than stress education (the control therapy), while yoga was no longer significantly better, suggesting CBT may have more robust, longer-lasting anxiety-reducing effects.
“Generalized anxiety disorder is common, impairing and often undertreated,” Naomi M. Simon, MD, MSc, of the department of psychiatry at New York University Grossman School of Medicine. Although evidence-based treatments, such as CBT and medication, are available, not all people with this disorder are willing or able to access them. Yoga is a popular stress reduction strategy, but little was known about how effective it is in treating a clinical anxiety disorder. This study filled a gap by examining Kundalini yoga, a multicomponent form of yoga, under rigorous conditions compared with a control condition and compared with the first-line psychosocial treatment CBT.” She added, “Although CBT effects were more robust and persistent, our findings demonstrate that yoga, which is safe and widely available, can improve symptoms for some people with GAD at least short term and could be a valuable tool in an overall treatment plan.”
Stefan G. Hoffman, PhD of the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Boston University notes “Given its efficacy, CBT should be made more accessible. Yoga classes are widely available, but this is certainly not the case for CBT classes. The study also shows that not all psychological treatments work the same way and they differ in their effectiveness. The study suggests that CBT works by changing problematic thinking styles, such as worrying, whereas yoga and stress education work via differently mechanisms that have not yet been explored. More research on the treatment mechanisms are needed.”
The study was funded by grants from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health to Drs Simon and Hofmann." Click here to read the study.

 APA Seek Nominations for Guideline Development Panel
The American Psychological Association’s (APA) Advisory Steering Committee for the Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines is seeking nominations of individuals to serve on a guideline development panel that will produce an updated version of APA’s 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Adults. The Advisory Steering Committee seeks to produce an updated version that will be approved as policy by the APA Council of Representatives by 2022 or as soon as feasible, in keeping with the widely accepted recommendation that clinical practice guidelines be considered for updating at least every five years.

The study also shows how increased resilience is able to reduce rates of anxiety and depression during the pandemic.

Around the country, school leaders are trying to anticipate how mental health burdens will shape what unfolds in classrooms and via screens during a school year in which the trauma is likely to worsen. Some school districts, such as Los Angeles Unified, are running hotlines to provide guidance and connect families to services. Other schools are offering grief training to teachers, counseling them on how to recognize signs of distress, and encouraging them to attend to their own emotional well-being. Still others are setting up virtual “wellness rooms” and unveiling new or expanded “social-emotional curricula” to help students process their feelings.

Psychiatric Times
Ronald W. Pies, MD writes, "A recently released survey from the Centers for Disease Control found that from June 24-30, 2020, adults in the United States reported 'considerably elevated adverse mental health conditions associated with COVID-19.' Using validated screening instruments, the CDC survey found that, overall, 40.9 percent of 5470 respondents reported an adverse mental or behavioral health condition, including those who reported symptoms of anxiety disorder or depressive disorder; trauma-related symptoms; new or increased substance use, or thoughts of suicide. The prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression were substantially higher than reported in 2019, and people with pre-existing (clinically diagnosed) psychiatric disorders reported an even higher prevalence of symptoms, compared with those without an established diagnosis. So, yes, many folks are indeed suffering.
All this has led many news outlets to declare a 'mental health pandemic' or 'secondary pandemic,' amidst the already devastating COVID-19 pandemic. I found about 145,000 results, searching the term, 'mental health pandemic' on Google. Indeed, several respected mental health professionals have taken to using this linguistically awkward term. And yet, while well-intentioned, the casual and colloquial use of the term 'pandemic' is not warranted in this context."

A new study found that people searched for severe anxiety-related information at record highs in March when the coronavirus pandemic was first declared a national emergency.
Researchers analyzed Google Trends for terms such as “anxiety” or “panic” in combination with “attack” emerging from the U.S. dating back 16 years, according to the study.
Most of the searches occurred between March 16, shortly after President Donald Trump declared a national emergency, and April 14.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends screening women for depression and anxiety at least once during the perinatal period followed by appropriate referral and treatment when necessary. Although common and impairing, much less attention has been focused on the treatment of perinatal anxiety, both in the literature and in the media. Untreated mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy have been associated with multiple adverse outcomes for both the mother and baby, including a worsening of medical conditions, lack of medical care, substance use, smoking, suicide, and infanticide. Anxiety itself is a strong predictor of postpartum depression. Anxiety disorders have also been associated with negative birth outcomes such as preterm birth, lower birth weight, earlier gestational age, increased odds for being small for gestational age, and smaller head circumference.
