Research & Practice 

Engaging our member professionals, ADAA strives to improve patient care by promoting implementation of evidence-based treatments and best practices across disciplines through trainings, continuing education and accelerating dissemination of research into practice.

ADAA promotes scientific innovation and engages a diverse network of clinicians and basic and clinical anxiety and depression researchers with diverse backgrounds in medicine, psychology, social work, counseling, nursing, neuroscience, genetics, epidemiology, and other disciplines to advance science and new treatments. 

ADAA's 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.

ADAA publishes a monthly online journal - Depression and Anxiety - which welcomes original research and synthetic review articles covering neurobiology (genetics and neuroimaging), epidemiology, experimental psychopathology, and treatment (psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic) aspects of mood and anxiety disorders, and related phenomena in humans. Members receive complimentary access to the Journal.

ADAA also offers Clinical Practice Reviews, Teaching Tools and other Resources, information about current Clinical Trials and a Community Job Board.
