This May, we celebrate National Mental Health Month by raising awareness for mental health conditions. Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. During the month of May, we bring awareness to mental illness to fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults nationwide. Although anxiety disorders are highly treatable, only about one-third of those suffering ever receive treatment. RM and the Anxiety and Depression Association of America have joined forces to help volunteers get access to the resources they need. This collaboration and Condition Connection will help researchers better connect with volunteers nationwide while at the same time helping provide the community access to valuable resources. 

Although great strides have been made to increase the quality and quantity of approved treatment options for those living with an anxiety disorder, volunteers are still needed to help researchers find additional options.  We're excited to launch our new Anxiety Condition Connection in collaboration with the Anxiety and Depression Association of America!

Every new Condition Connection added to RM creates a more precise process for matching volunteers with research teams throughout the United States. Volunteers who have registered with a condition connected to the Anxiety Condition Connection will be presented with several targeted questions designed to help make a more precise match with researchers.
