With a grassroots network of more than 1,000 DBSA support groups across the country, no one with a mood disorder needs to feel alone or ashamed. When combined with treatment, a support group:
- May help you stick with your treatment plan and avoid hospitalization.
- Provides a place for mutual acceptance, understanding and self-discovery.
- Helps you understand that a mood disorder does not define who you are.
- Gives you the opportunity to benefit from the experiences of those who have "been there".
