The Anxiety Disorders Foundation, Inc. was founded in the fall of 2002. We are dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by anxiety disorders. Our goal is to increase the number of anxiety disorder sufferers seeking effective treatment by:

• Directly funding treatment for those who can not afford it. (To learn more about applying for a treatment scholarship, click here.)
  
• Providing training for mental health care providers to better assess and treat these conditions.
• Increasing public awareness regarding anxiety disorders.

We are the only charitable organization of this type that we are aware of. The Anxiety Disorders Foundation is a 501(C) (3) charitable organization. All donations made to the Anxiety Disorders Foundation are tax-deductible. Through your kind, tax-deductible donation you will be providing anxiety disorder sufferers an opportunity to once again become productive members of our community.

Research shows that anxiety disorder sufferers tend to have high levels of functioning before becoming afflicted with their conditions, and regain this high level of functioning following successful treatment. Our goal is to make treatment of anxiety disorders available to anyone who needs it.
 
In the event that treatment is necessary, it will be provided through one of our Greenfield or Oconomowoc facilities in Southeastern Wisconsin.


One client's story...

"My whole life was filled with disturbing thoughts and never ending rituals. I hated my life and hated who I was. My soul had been stolen. I had no happiness, joy or fulfillment. My life was a continuous struggle with my illness going undiagnosed for many years.

After exhausting all my financial resources, I was graciously granted a Scholarship from the Anxiety Disorders Foundation. It was the first time in my life I received real successful therapy and treatment for my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Since my treatment through the Anxiety Disorders Foundation, my soul returned to me. My joy, fulfillment and happiness returned to me. My employee performance has excelled and my life isn’t interrupted constantly by needless rituals anymore. I now have the tools to manage my OCD.

I owe my happiness and life to the Anxiety Disorders Foundation."

Sincerely,
John R. Combs
