ADAA Annual Conference 2014
March 27 - 30, 2014
Chicago IL , USA
ADAA was founded in 1980 as the Phobia Society of America by a diverse group of clinicians and patients. The term "anxiety disorder" had not yet been coined. Most anxiety disorders were simply called phobias.
That changed as researchers discovered links between panic attacks and abnormal blood flow in the brain, learned that anxiety disorders are associated with pervasive social and health consequences, and discovered and tested various therapies and medications to treat anxiety disorders. ADAA adopted its new name in 1990 to reflect the changing and growing field.
Over the years ADAA has launched several national educational campaigns to promote awareness about anxiety disorders and encourage people to seek treatment. ADAA has also funded more than $1.5 million in anxiety disorder research.
