Supporting a person with Depression or Bipolar Disorder

Unknown userMember

Supporting a person with Depression or Bipolar Disorder

This is an "Aware" talk

Aware is an Irish Support Service which was founded in 1985 by Dr. Patrick McKeon and a small but dedicated team of volunteers, many of whom had their own personal experience with depression, or bipolar disorder. The organisation developed in response to the clear need for information, understanding and support, both for individuals who had a diagnosis of depression or bipolar as well as family members supporting a loved one.

Re: Supporting a person with Depression or Bipolar Disorder

Thanks for your thoughts, we had a tough October and a long hospital stay in November. Everything has been going great since then, so just trying to keep on top of it all.
