NAMI Resources: Now that you have received the diagnosis of bipolar disorder, a good place to start is your local nami chapter. You can locate this information at nami.Org. Support groups are a good resource as well. Check-out depression and bipolar support alliance at www.Dbsalliance.Org, and mental health america at www.Mentalhealthamerica.Net. Good luck and continue followup with your doctor.
