They crawl across our skin, cling to our intestines and generally call our bodies home.

ADAA
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) is delighted to announce that we have been awarded a 2018 grant from the Venable Foundation.
Immigrant and refugee families in the US face significant barriers in accessing mental health care services. Some of these barriers include: higher levels of stigma, misinformation about mental health, language differences and stressors associated with migration and resettlement. Funding from the Venable grant will allow ADAA to enhance our diversity focused mental health resources that specifically target the immigrant/refugee population. These resources include consumer webinars, blog posts, online support groups and more for immigrant and refugee families.

#ADAA2019 Session Spotlight
ADAA is very excited about our robust program of invited speakers and sessions at #ADAA2019. Here are two sessions that you won't want to miss!
Ketamine and Mind-Altering Drugs in Treating Anxiety and Depression: Potential Roles and Pitfalls. The 2019 Jerilyn Ross Lecture — Friday, March 29 — 3:15 – 4:45 p.m.
Panelists: Adriana Feder, MD; Roland Griffiths, PhD; Alan Schatzberg, MD; Carlos A. Zarate, MD.
Moderator: Sanjay Mathew, MD
This year's Ross Symposium brings together a group of experts with extensive experience in the clinical use of ketamine and psilocybin, their psychopharmacology, and potential substance abuse. These invited speakers will each provide brief presentations followed by an interactive discussion among themselves and with the audience. The risk:benefit profile of these approaches, and roles in clinical practice will be discussed, as well as examination of the role of concurrent psychotherapies in prolonging their transient benefit. Ethical and medico-legal issues will also be explored. Click here for the full Ross Lecture description.
New Developments in Stress and Inflammation. 22nd Annual ADAA Scientific Research Symposium. Friday, March 29 — 8:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Presenters: Robert Dantzer, DVM, PhD: Inflammation and Depression: What Symptoms is Inflammation Responsible For?. Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, PhD: Depression, Stress, and Inflammation: New Intervention Strategies. Andrew Miller, MD: The Emerging Role of the Immune System and Inflammation in Depression and Other Psychiatric Disorders. George Slavich, PhD: Social Signal Tranduction Theory of Depression: A Multi-Level Model Linking Stress, Inflammation, and Major Depressive Disorder.
The SRS is ADAA's premier research session and we expect approximately 100 attendees. This year's theme is on New Developments in Stress and Inflammation with a focus on inflammatory processes in stress, anxiety, and depression. The symposium will be structured into four brief talks that span from basic to applied. The SRS committee (Drs. Mennin, Meuret, Simon, and Paulus), in collaboration with conference chair Ned Kalin, were fortunate to assemble a panel of international leaders in the field of stress and inflammatory research. Dr. Meuret and Dr. Simon will serve as co-chairs and moderate the session, leaving time for scientific questions and dialogue amongst the participants and the session's invited speakers.

"Although I have been an ADAA member for more than 20 years, I have become most involved in the past six years. My draw in recent years has been the complementary blend of evidence-based science and clinical practice. Bridging the gap between science and practice isn’t just a good name for a symposium, it's a necessity! Regularly attending the annual conferences, presenting and participating in webinars, and most recently co-hosting the Twitter chat on #HolidayDepression has provided another professional home. I have been an APA Public Education Coordinator for over a decade. The mission is to disseminate accurate information about mental health to the public, promote mental health, and reduce stigma. ADAA is true to that mission, which I highly value. Professionally, I enjoy access to the expertise of others through the webinars and talks. I especially enjoy the master clinician workshops that provide more in-depth learning from experts. In addition to the professional stimulation and learning new information that I can apply, I enjoy the camaraderie of ADAA members. And the staff are great too, adding a welcoming note to all!"

People often joke about the suffocating holiday spirit that seems to hit store shelves earlier and earlier each year. Sometimes, you'll find a giant plastic Santa in your local drugstore before the turkey has even been carved on Thanksgiving Day. With the Christmas carols, the cheesy Hallmark movies and the wallet-busting shopping trips comes family togetherness.
