Support Groups
Support groups for anxiety disorders can help end the painful isolation
of suffering alone with a disorder that can be disruptive and debilitating. An effective
support group helps recovery through mutual support
and provides updated information about causes and
treatment, eliminating some of the myths about anxiety disorders.
To start a support group, click on the following publication: Help Yourself: A Guide to Organizing an Anxiety Disorder Self-Help Group or read more about starting a support group. It is written by Jonathan Grayson, PhD, Anxiety and Agoraphobia Treatment Center in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania; and Bradley Riemann, PhD, Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
ADAA regularly lists new support groups and updates information about
current groups.
Support groups are available many states and countries. The support
groups listed on this site are provided as a service of ADAA, but they does not represent
an evaluation or recommendation by the association. Furthermore,
ADAA does not endorse the use of a support group as a substitute
for proper diagnosis and treatment. Please check with your health care
provider about the benefits of joining a support group as part
of an overall treatment regimen.
Please call 240-485-1031 or e-mail supportgroups@adaa.org for additional information about support groups, including adding a group or updating information.
