Support groups for Depression and Bipolar Disorder

The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) offer online support groups for individuals dealing with depression and bipolar disorder.

According to the DBSA site, these groups are led by fellow peers, who are also managing a life with a mood disorder.

These online groups are free and meant to provide opportunities to learn about coping skills and hear about / share personal experiences.

You can find information and register for their online groups at https://www.dbsalliance.org/support/chapters-and-support-groups/online-support-groups/
