- The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing awareness and improving the diagnosis, treatment, and cure of anxiety disorders in children and adults. Anxiety disorder is a class of mental disorders in which anxiety is the predominant feature. This disorder, an illness characterized by constant and boundless worry that interferes with daily life, is the most common psychiatric illness in the United States, affecting 40 million American adults. ADAA is involved in education, training, and research for anxiety and stress-related disorders. The mission statement of ADAA is to promote the prevention, treatment, and cure of anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders through education, practice, and research. ADAA offers free educational information and resources about anxiety disorders, local treatment provider referrals, self-help groups, self-tests, and clinical trial listings. The organization funds scientific research through grants and awards and promotes awareness that anxiety disorders are real and treatable. The organization's headquarters is located in Silver Spring, Maryland. ADAA publishes self-help books such as Facing Panic, Triumph Over Shyness: Conquering Social Anxiety Disorder, in hopes of helping the estimated 40% of Americans with anxiety the opportunity to cope with and possibly overcome the disorder. Furthermore, anxiety stems from a complex arrangement of factors such as life experiences, personality, brain chemistry, or even genetics, so as a developing, mental disorder, anxiety requires patience to overcome. ADAA has an online peer support community on HealthUnlocked. (en)
