You are not alone.

 The mission of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, Orange County Chapter (DBSA-OC) is to provide hope, help, and support to improve the lives of people living with depression or bipolar disorder. DBSA pursues and accomplishes this mission through peer-based, recovery-oriented, empowering services and resources.

DBSA OC Support Groups

DBSA support groups are gatherings of peers who assist, encourage and enable each other in helping themselves. A DBSA support group is a safe space for people suffering from bipolar, depression or schizoaffective disorders to share experiences, personal feelings and strategies for living successfully with these conditions. Our support groups are offered online and in-person.
