Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mood Disorder Support Group
Description
Anya Vykopal lived with both a mood disorder and substance use disorder. Sadly, at age 36, she passed away. Anya’s family and friends contributed generously to DBSA in her memory. This DBSA support group is specifically for those living with both a mood disorder and substance use disorder. If you live with both of these disorders, this group is for you.
The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is the leading peer-directed national organization focusing on depression and bipolar disorder. DBSA's peer-based, wellness-oriented, and empowering services and resources are available when people need them, where they need them, and how they need to receive them. This includes online 24/7, in local support groups, in audio and video casts, or in printed materials distributed by DBSA, our chapters, and mental health care facilities across America.
DBSA online support groups provide people living with depression and bipolar disorder a place to share experiences, discuss coping skills, and offer hope to one another. DBSA support groups are peer-led, meaning they are facilitated by someone living with a mood disorder who has been trained and certified to guide others on their journey.
DBSA online support group meetings are peer-based, self-help groups. In the DBSA context, a peer is a person with a mood disorder. Another distinction of peer is that we are not professionals — physicians and other mental health providers. We are here to assist, encourage, and enable each other to help ourselves.
