Invest in the Future

Whether you are one of the more than 40 million men and women in this country with an anxiety disorder, or have a child who does, we have good news for you and your loved ones.

You're not alone. You don't have to feel ashamed or embarrassed. You're not "crazy" and you're not "imagining it." You don't have to live a life that's filled with unbearable levels of anxiety or disabling physical symptoms, because these disorders are treatable. You can get treated and lead a healthier, more productive life. It's true. You can help yourself by learning more about your disorder and seeking treatment, and you can help others by making a tax-deductible donation to the ADAA.

Your contribution will enable us to help you and countless other individuals and families by providing educational materials, increasing access to treatment providers and underwriting critically needed research.

We use funds to:

• conduct public and professional education and awareness campaigns;
  
• support cutting-edge research into the causes, treatments and cures for anxiety disorders;
  
• protect the health and rights of people with an anxiety disorder;
  
• unite everyone in a common mission to improve the lives of people who have an anxiety disorder;
  
• serve as the "voice" of people with an anxiety disorder before legislators, the media and the medical and scientific communities.

All of our undertakings are designed to help ensure that people who have an anxiety disorder-whether that's you or someone you know-can find the care and support they need.

Making a contribution is easy:

• Donate online.
  
• Send a check or money order by mail to ADAA, 8730 Georgia Avenue, Suite 600, Silver Spring, MD 20910, USA. Please make sure your donation is in US dollars, made payable to "ADAA."

ADAA participates in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) and numerous United Way campaigns that are held annually at workplaces around the country. If you are a federal or state employee, or a member of the US military, please designate ADAA as your charity of choice in this year's CFC. If you are employed by a private company that participates in the annual United Way campaign, please designate the ADAA as the beneficiary of your charitable giving. We thank you!

Help yourself. Help us help others. Make a donation or give a gift in recognition or memory of a loved one today. With your support, the ADAA will continue to improve lives and provide hope to those suffering from an anxiety disorder.
