About us
The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) provides hope, help, support, and education for people and families affected by mood disorders. More than 21 million people in the U.S. live with depression or bipolar, and these conditions account for 90% of the nation's suicides. In all, mood disorders cost employers an estimated $23 billion in lost work days and other related losses. DBSA’s peer-based, wellness-oriented approach brings resources and support to more than 4 million people every year. Through our website, social media, podcasts and videos, we provide helpful information and insights 24/7. More than 500 local support groups and 160 chapters enable us to reach people and families where they live -- and for those who don't have a DBSA chapter nearby, we offer virtual support groups that people can access from anywhere in the country. Many of our online support groups focus on the unique needs of select populations such as seniors, military veterans, or friends and family members who support a loved one with bipolar or depression. At DBSA, we know that recovery is possible. We support the right of all individuals to choose their own path to wellness. Accordingly, we do not recommend or endorse specific treatments for bipolar disorder or depression. Instead, we offer easy-to-understand information that can help people and families make informed decisions. The medical experts and researchers on DBSA's Scientific Advisory Board review our educational materials to ensure they are both clear and accurate. Visit dbsalliance.org to learn more about our mission, values, core beliefs, and view the full range of our support, education, and wellness programs.
