At Foundations, we follow patients using research-based interviews for a full year after treatment. This allows us to determine not only the immediate impact of treatment, but also the sustainability of results. In 2017, on average, 90% of all patients surveyed at discharge from an FRN residential facility would recommend the treatment center they attended to others. Learn more about our treatment methods and outcomes!

"I joined ADAA in 2018. I have a special interest in treating social anxiety and joined the Board of the National Society Anxiety Center (NSAC) in January 2018. The members of this board are all active ADAA members and several of them were presenting training sessions on social anxiety at the 2018 ADAA Conference. Based on their strong recommendations, I joined ADAA and attended the annual Conference. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from experts in the field. Since joining ADAA, I have been able to learn and collaborate with fellow clinicians in the following ways:
- Live & Recorded Webinars for CE credit
- Mass General Hospital Psychiatry Webinars
- Annual Conference Clinical Sessions, Research Symposium, & Exhibits
- Social Anxiety Special Interest Group
- Co-hosting an Hour of ADAA Twitter Q&A
- Working toward Clinical Fellow status
This membership allows me to feel confident that I am maintaining a high level of training on the latest evidence-based practices to treat anxiety and depression."

Identifying the factors early on could allow earlier treatment and improve chances of a full recovery, say researchers. The four characteristics are: Number of children; ability to function in general life, at work, and in relationships; education level, which can determine access to resources; and depression severity at four to eight weeks postpartum. The study was published recently in Depression and Anxiety.

But a new study suggests that their mental health in the crucial first year of training — called internship — may depend a lot on the nature of the program they enter. The year-long study of 1,276 medical interns in 54 programs finds they were more likely to suffer from depression at certain programs compared with others.
