About ADAA's Social Anxiety Special Interest Group (SIG)
Since forming, just over a year ago, the Social Anxiety Special Interest Group (SIG) has organized many opportunities for learning and consultation. There have been monthly online peer consultations, open to all ADAA members. These have been attended by members across the country, with rich discussions about cases and current treatments for social anxiety. The SIG has put on various webinars, including two on CBT for social anxiety, another on evidence based group treatment for social anxiety, and another geared towards consumers about overcoming their social anxiety.
The SIG held a breakfast meeting at ADAA's Conference last year, resulting in interesting case discussions and a great networking opportunity. This year, the SIG will also hold at the Washington, D.C., Conference. As part of their participation in the SIG, two of the leaders will be presenting different workshops at the conference on social anxiety related topics.
Meet the Social Anxiety SIG Chairs and Vice-Chairs
 Noah Clyman LCSW-R, is the director of NYC Cognitive Therapy, a group practice in Manhattan which specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT). NYCCT's mission is to make quality, culturally-competent CBT available to the public, and NYCCT is first CBT center that places particular emphasis on diversity, serving populations such as the LGBTQ community, and those living with HIV/AIDS. Noah's team of expertly trained CBT clinicians offers cutting edge treatment that is tailor-made for the client's circumstances. The clinicians at NYCCT teach clients tools they can use throughout their life to improve mood and solve problems. Treatment is time-limited and goal oriented, to provide solutions for their anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. Noah is also a Board member of the National Social Anxiety Center (NSAC), and NSAC created and leads the ADAA SIG.
"I decided to help lead the social anxiety SIG because social anxiety is a highly prevalent problem we see in our practice, and it is also a problem that is highly treatable. When clients get the right therapy for their social anxiety, in as quickly as 12-16 sessions, they learn the skills to take back their life and aren't hijacked by fear any longer. I am delighted and honored to have a partnership with NSAC and ADAA."
 Lauren Neaman, PsyD, is the Chief Clinical Officer at The Depression and Anxiety Specialty Clinic of Chicago, where she has been since 2013. She treats individuals with anxiety disorders, with special interests in OCD, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. Dr. Neaman also supervises graduate students and junior staff in cognitive behavioral therapy. Dr. Neaman serves as the Chicago based Board Member for the National Social Anxiety Center (NSAC). She is also a Diplomate with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.
"I am pleased to be co-chairing the social anxiety SIG for ADAA. Since choosing to research social anxiety for my doctoral dissertation, I have been actively involved in treating those affected by this disorder using evidence based practice, as well providing training to other therapists. I am hopeful that as a SIG we can increase the number of providers who can effectively treat social anxiety."
 Celeste Conlon, PhD is the owner of Conlon Psychological Services in Sugar Land, Texas, founded in 2011. Dr. Conlon is a licensed psychologist and school psychologist with more than 25 years' experience treating behavior disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, school refusal, and social anxiety. Dr. Conlon serves as the Houston/Sugar Land based Board Member for the National Social Anxiety Center (NSAC). She is a candidate for Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.
"I have had an interest in social anxiety my entire professional career. I teach other mental health professionals about social anxiety and developed a school refusal program to reduce the devastating impact of severe anxiety on academic progress. As a member of NSAC and co-vice chair of the ADAA Social Anxiety SIG, I advocated for peer consultation meetings so that clinicians would have access to colleagues trained specifically in evidence-based strategies for social anxiety. We look forward to meeting and consulting with other clinicians around the country who treat social anxiety. We hope you will join us at our monthly meetings."
 Larry Cohen, LICSW, is Chair of the National Social Anxiety Center (NSAC), which he cofounded in 2014. He has directed the Social Anxiety Help clinic (NSAC District of Columbia) in Washington, DC since 1990 where he has provided cognitive-behavioral therapy for more than 1,000 persons with social anxiety, and has conducted more than 85 20-week social anxiety CBT groups. He is certified as a Diplomate in cognitive-behavioral therapy by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.
"I decided to help lead the social anxiety SIG because of my career-long passion toward helping people whose lives are debilitated by this underserved and under-recognized problem. My volunteer work with NSAC and ADAA is aimed at promoting increased availability of evidence-based treatments for social anxiety, and increased awareness of how severely the problem affects so many people's lives."

The way depression is diagnosed and treated needs a major overhaul, say authors of a new review article in the scientific journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. This is because current treatment of depression is ineffective and lacks a plausible, coherent theoretical basis, they claim. A new theory for depression and its treatment is proposed in the article.

Managing long-term sleeplessness may help to stave off such negative health outcomes, the researchers hypothesize. The results were presented this week at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2017.

Apparently, the way young individuals use social media is more important than the amount of time a person spends online. A new study provides some assurance that strong social media use is not linked to possible mental health problems such as loneliness, decreased empathy and social anxiety. The study appears in the journal Psychiatric Quarterly.

A new study links over-activity in a small part of the brainstem to heightened arousal and reactivity, core symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Swedish researchers discovered the PTSD symptoms were associated with excessive brain activity in the locus coeruleus, which is involved with physiological responses to stress and panic. The study appears in the journal Biological Psychiatry.

Children in this mountain hamlet have seen roofs blown off their homes, endured weeks of cold dinners and hot nights and witnessed loved ones die in their living rooms.
