May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to recognize the challenges of living with mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, which affect over 21 million U.S. adults and contribute to more than half of all suicides each year. At DBSA, we offer peer-led support groups, educational resources, and wellness tools that have reached millions, providing hope and connection. Join us this May as we raise awareness, build community, and expand access to peer support. Here are ways to get involved:
