Our Mission

The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention, treatment, and cure of anxiety disorders and to improving the lives of all people who suffer from them.

The association is made up of professionals who conduct research and treat anxiety disorders and people who have a personal or general interest in learning more about anxiety disorders: obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder (panic attack), social anxiety disorder (social phobia), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), specific phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). ADAA also recognizes relationships between anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and alcohol abuse.
