In a comment to a recent post, Managing Your Bipolar - Only You Can Do It - Kristin pointed out that “I found the DBSA - The Depression Bipolar Support Alliance - helpful. There is also NAMI - National Alliance on Mental Illness.”Many thanks, Kristin, for the reminder. I have been intense...
I have not been lucky in my search for community support near my home. Both groups I joined were not run well, had no real facilitator and no agenda of any kind. It seemed like the groups came together to discuss problems with social security and disabilitiy checks and rag on their respective MDs. I find my on-line support groups to much better...although somewhat anonomously. But I absolutely believe in supporting the groups DBSA and NAMI.
