The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance Greater Chicago (DBSA-GC) is a self-help group founded in the interest of offering support to those with mood disorders
& their families, professionals, and friends. We are a chapter of DBSA, a national organization, with hundreds of affiliates across the US and Canada.
We offer a bi-monthly publication, Spectrum, and invite you to sign up for a six-month trial subscription at no cost. The Spectrum includes articles of interest to our members
and a schedule of events & meetings. Our mission is to
help those who are suffering from these illnesses and to improve their lives in the following ways:
1) By offering monthly educational and support group
programs for these individuals, their families &
friends, government officials, and the general public as
to the causes, symptoms, treatments and personal
& social costs of these disorders.

2) By offering emotional support, practical assistance
and by encouraging members to seek the right
medical advice. Mood disorders are treatable.
3) By counteracting the isolation that is often
associated with these illnesses. DBSA-GC believes
that the confidential sharing of experiences with
others in similar situations can help in the recovery
process.
4) By helping to restore self-esteem to members, we
help enable them to enjoy a fulfilling life.
