Support Groups
Support groups for anxiety disorders can help end the painful isolation
of suffering alone 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, read Help Yourself: A Guide to Organizing an Anxiety Disorder Self-Help Group, by Jonathan Grayson, PhD, Anxiety and Agoraphobia Treatment Center in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania; and Bradley Riemann, PhD, Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. You can also read more about starting a support group.
ADAA regularly lists new support groups and updates information about
current groups.
Support groups are available in many states and countries. The list on this site is a service of ADAA, but it does not represent
an evaluation or recommendation. 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.
