Special Member Thank You
Naomi Simon, PhD
ADAA would like to thank Dr. Simon for her commitment and contributions to the Scientific Council (SC). Dr. Simon helped refine the direction and activities of the SC to improve the scientific quality of our community as Vice Chair (2014-2015) and as Chair (2016-2017).
Dr. Simon notes: "It has been an honor and privilege to serve as Vice Chair and then Chair of the Scientific Council over these past four years, a time of significant growth and change at ADAA. ADAA remains a critically important professional home for so many of us in the field of anxiety disorders and now depression research, education and clinical care, while also serving the needs of consumers through the provision of much needed reliable information about these conditions and evidence based care. I look forward to continuing to serve ADAA as a member of the Scientific Council."
The ADAA Scientific Council (SC) is comprised of mid- and senior-level basic and clinical researchers committed to the organization. The SC contributes scientific expertise and mentorship, actively grows membership and encourages participation among colleagues, students and fellows, and volunteers to participate in projects that maintain ADAA’s leading edge in research, dissemination and treatment.

"I first joined ADAA in 2012 and attended the conference in 2013. Since that first meeting, I was hooked. ADAA is a vibrant community of clinicians and researchers who are dedicated to advancing the field. I became involved in the OCD SIG when it began in 2016 as a Vice Chair to the Chair Dr. Phil Seibell and am delighted to be the OCD SIG Chair this year. The monthly case consultation call is a highlight of the OCD SIG's offerings. We are hosting several webinars over the year and look forward to expanding our presence on the online community in the coming months. We hope to see many of you in D.C. next year!"

In addition to her clinical specialty in anxiety and related disorders, she is involved with the administration of the psychology training program at New York Presbyterian Hospital--Weill Cornell Medicine.
 Angela Wai Mon Chiu, PhD — Co-Chair
"I joined ADAA in 2016 to attend the annual conference as I had heard from colleagues that it is a wonderful place to get hands-on, practical clinical skills. I left my first conference thoroughly impressed. I enjoyed participating in clinical roundtables and learned many techniques and concepts that I was excited to apply right away in my own clinical work as well as in my role as a supervisor.
My work focuses on implementing evidence-based interventions in acute care settings for emerging adults with anxiety. I joined the OCD and Related Disorders SIG hoping to connect with other colleagues with interests in the treatment of anxiety disorders in youth. At my first SIG meeting, I met several experts who launched intensive outpatient OCD programs. Within one hour, I acquired new ideas about different models of treatment and also had an interesting conversation about the systemic challenges of offering exposure-based treatment. Through the web-based peer supervision and webinars throughout the year, the SIG has continued to offer outlets for me to expand my learning and to connect with other professionals."
Dr. Chiu is a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in evidence-based interventions for children, adolescents and young adults suffering from anxiety and related disorders. She specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as modular approaches to treatment. Dr. Chiu provides a variety of clinical services including diagnostic assessments, therapy and consultation. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Chiu is an Assistant Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College and an Assistant Attending Psychologist at the New York-Presbyterian Partial Hospital Programs. Dr. Chiu travels nationally to train clinicians on Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems (MATCH-ADTC) and Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP) system.

Researchers used a British database of 134,427 men and women with acne and 1,731,608 without and followed them for 15 years. Most were under 19 at the start of the study, though they ranged in age from 7 to 50. The study is in the British Journal of Dermatology.

A new study unravels the mechanism by which compounds found in grapes improve resilience to stress in mice and attenuate the brain changes linked with depression. Previous research has shown that so-called grape polyphenols have some efficacy in managing major depressive disorder, but the precise mechanisms behind this were unclear. The new study, published in Nature Communications, explains this mechanism.

Emerging research suggests declines in IQ during early childhood and adolescence can lead to psychotic episodes in adulthood. Investigators theorize that declining IQ causes children and young adults to fall progressively behind their peers across a range of cognitive abilities. Researchers believe educational interventions could potentially delay the onset of mental illness.

Only one-third of people newly diagnosed with depression start treatment quickly, and seniors and minorities are the least likely to get help in a timely fashion, a new study finds. For the study, researchers analyzed data from more than 240,000 people in the United States who received a new diagnosis of depression from a primary care provider between 2010 and 2013.

The drug prazosin failed to effectively alleviate post-traumatic stress disorder in military veterans, according to a trial conducted by researchers with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Although the drug has been effective in controlling nightmares or improving sleep quality associated with PTSD, the researchers concluded it was no better than a placebo, according to results published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

A new study suggests that processing of negative emotions can be influenced by tweaking/tuning the excitability of brain cells located in the right frontal part of the brain. The study, published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, provides support for an approach clinicians use to guide treatment in depression, but has never been verified in a lab.

I've been seeing a new guy for the past month, and while I may not be head over heels just yet, I can see it lasting a while. My question is, when should I bring up my depression? My last relationship lasted almost three years, but ultimately he ended it because he couldn't handle me at my lowest — which obviously didn't help.
