The purpose of this committee is to build and promote ADAA membership, as well as increase retention of current members. The committee strategizes on developing new recruitment materials and outreach plans to promote the value of ADAA membership. Committee members participate in conference activities and cultivate member engagement throughout the year.
Membership Committee Chair — Brian J. Schmaus, PhD.
Dr. Brian Schmaus is a clinical psychologist at the Anxiety Treatment Center of Greater Chicago. He earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Dr. Schmaus has received training from leading experts in the fields of anxiety and related disorders. He uses empirically supported treatments and tailors every treatment plan to the specific clinical needs of the patient. Dr. Schmaus has extensive experience working with anxious patients on the Autism Spectrum, and he has given several presentations at national conferences on the topic. He has also presented on anxiety and anxiety related disorders and has authored publications in peer-reviewed journals.
I first attended ADAA in 2008 and I have attended the annual conference every year since. I find the conferences to be both informative as well as enjoyable. I have presented on several topics at ADAA over the past many years, and I have also been involved in various leadership positions, including: being on the Conference Committee, being on the CDLP, and most recently, being the chair of the Membership Committee. I enjoy attending the conference as well as helping to make it a great experience for others.
Interested in learning more about how you can become involved with the ADAA Membership Committee? Please email Brian or contact Lisa Patterson, ADAA Membership Director.

 ADAA's online anxiety and support group now has more than 8,000 members. The site was launched in November 2016 and has seen significant organic growth in the past 10 months. This anonymous peer-to-peer online anxiety and depression support group is a friendly, safe and supportive place for individuals and their families to share information and experiences. Members can connect with other people experiencing anxiety and depression and related disorders, contribute to ongoing conversations or start their own conversation with a question or a post about their journey.
ADAA recently received a small grant to launch a Spanish speaking version of the online community. The Spanish site is ready to launch; however, we need to identify a number of Spanish-speaking "ambassadors" that can monitor the site and answer inquiries. These can be students in the mental health professional field, or any colleagues who might like to become more involved with ADAA. Our staff would train the volunteers on how to serve as an administrator. Please email us if you would be interested in participating in this exciting project.

True depression is a health condition in need of treatment, just as much as diabetes or hypertension, while mood results from the normal ebb and flow of emotions. One way to demonstrate this is by showing that it's possible to pass along your good and bad moods to others, but not your depression. A new study reveals exactly that.

Teens and children struggling with anxiety are often prescribed medication or therapy to treat their symptoms. For many, either drugs or therapy is enough, but some young people can't find respite from anxious thoughts. For them, a study suggests that using both treatments at once can help. The study was published in the Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology.

New research finds that mothers often worry, but babies of anxious mothers may also spend more time focusing on threats in their environment. Using a novel experimental design, Pennsylvania State University scientists used eye-tracking technology to measure how long babies spent looking at happy, neutral, and angry faces. They found that the babies with anxious moms had a harder time looking away from an angry face.

Although evidence regarding the antisuicidal effects of lithium has been reported over the last 40 years, "the use of lithium is still underrepresented in clinical practice and should be incorporated more assertively into current guidelines," according to findings of a recent review. During the review, the study authors aimed to assess the best evidence evaluating the effect of lithium on suicide and self-harm rates.

Emilia Szmyrgala turned into a zombie during midterms and finals — a sleepless, non-showering, isolated study monster focused entirely on acing her exams. The 21-year-old senior at UCLA remembers it being worse in her freshman and sophomore years. When she got into this mode, she might not eat anything all day, except for some Twizzlers. Fears of failure crept in, and life became overwhelming.

Anyone who's ever been seriously depressed or knows someone who has been understands that it's not something you can easily "snap out of," and that working with a mental health professional is often crucial. Most people do best with a combination of therapy and medication, but other lifestyle factors may also play a role. Just as surrounding yourself with positive people may help keep your mood up, your surroundings matter, too.
