720656 tn?1311040235 I also have hypothyroid post treatment but I was already trending that way prior to starting treatment.

Avatar n tn s church that she attends to deal with me, and she is also getting ready to attend a family support group through the psychiatrict health system here to better understand DBT. You may want to call your hospital/psychiatrict hospital to ask for any local groups or something affiliated with the hospital. If you do attend a church, you may also want to ask the pastor/priest if they are aware of anything in any church. good luck.
Avatar f tn Severe drug shortages, particularly at hospitals and cancer centers, are causing critically ill patients to go without potentially life-saving drugs, driving up health care costs astronomically and creating an underworld of “gray market” drugs. While conspiratorial theories about the shortages run rampant with unabated finger pointing, it is sad that the profession of pharmacy apparently cannot clean its own house on this issue.

1423792 tn?1282657198 Hi Kitty, I don't know of any specific groups but you may want to try NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness.) I know it isn't med help but it is something. Also you can come and talk to all of us if you need to. We all have bipolar and are trying to be well. There are other family members on here as well. At least you could talk to people who know about bipolar if nothing else.
Avatar f tn Hello, I live in the UK and belong to Depression Alliance who have support groups. I don't know if there is anything similar in Ireland. You can ask your doctor's surgery if they know of any support groups, or your local library may have notices about help. I think you will find there is help out there, but you have to look for it yourself I am afraid. I have never hidden my illness from anyone. I am not ashamed of it.
