About
support groups
Support groups for
depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder and other mental health
conditions can be places of enlightenment and support. But here's what
you should know.
|
|
|
What
they ARE:
* A place to share experiences, information, and strategies for living successfully
with mental health disorders.
* Peer-led.
* Safe and non-judgmental.
* Confidential.
* Offer emotional support, friendship, and a sense of belonging.
* Meet regularly. |
|
 However,
what they are NOT:
* Not a pity party.
* Not a dating service.
* Not a gripe session.
* Not a place to diagnose.
* Not an expert giving a lecture.
* Not a replacement for professional care.
* Not a theater for people craving attention to monopolize any discussion.
* Not a place to gossip about, harass, or otherwise add to the depression
of others in this group.
