The Todd Ouida Annual Lecture in Childhood Anxiety and Depression at the U-M Depression Center honors the memory of Todd Ouida. Although severe anxiety troubled Todd throughout his early childhood, with therapy and the support of his family, he overcame the disorder and went on to have a rich high school experience, later earning a degree in psychology from U-M. He had just launched into the beginning of a promising career when he lost his life in the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks at the age of 25.

Herb and Andrea Ouida, Todd's parents, established the lecture and the Todd Ouida Clinical Scholar Awards (intended to further the work of outstanding young researchers working in childhood anxiety and depression) in their son's name. This is the 10th annual event. Mary Fristad, Ph.D., ABPP, will present "Nonpharmacologic Adjunctive Interventions for Childhood Mood Disorders."
