If you or anyone you know are in a crisis call 911 or 988, the Suicide Prevention Lifeline

Mental health challenges, such as chronic stress, anxiety, or depression, can negatively impact physical health. For example, prolonged stress can weaken the immune system, increase the risk of heart disease, and exacerbate chronic conditions like diabetes. Emotional well-being and physical health are deeply interconnected.

Help manage your mental and physical health by joining a DBSA Depression and Bipolar Support Group.

Empower Growth

Peer support is a transformative force in fostering growth and resilience. Through shared experiences and mutual understanding, it creates a foundation of trust, inspiring individuals to take meaningful steps toward recovery. By connecting people in a nurturing environment, peer support not only combats isolation but also empowers personal and collective growth.​Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health is vital to creating a world where individuals feel safe to seek help and share their stories. Stigma breeds silence, and silence prevents healing. Our peer-led approach fosters open, judgment-free conversations that dismantle barriers, raise awareness, and promote understanding.​Our mission is to ignite hope and empower individuals to reclaim their lives through a supportive, inclusive community. We are dedicated to providing a safe space where everyone feels valued and understood, free of charge.​​

Depression is far more than just feeling sad.

Comment (optional)

Depression is a major global health concern. It plays a significant role in suicide, which is among the leading causes of death worldwide—especially in younger populations. Moreover, depression can contribute to other health problems, such as heart disease, further increasing its impact on mortality rates.
 

U.S. Suicide Statistics (CDC)
Every Year

  • 12.3 Million People Think About Suicide

  •  3.5 Million People Plan a Suicide Attempt

  • 1.7 Million People Attempt Suicide

  • 50,000+ People Die by Suicide

 

Depression is an invisible killer and is preventable. Despite its widespread impact, the link between depression and suicide continues to be shrouded in stigma. Addressing this stigma is essential to saving lives, fostering awareness, and building a compassionate support network for those in need.

The financial toll of suicide on society is also costly. In 2020, suicide and nonfatal self-harm cost the nation over $500 billion in medical costs, work loss costs, value of statistical life, and quality of life costs.
