Statistics such as the ones above are staggering. In our three-year strategic plan, we are committed to creating more content and resources that can help young people who are living with mood disorders and their parents and caregivers.
All peers have an origin story—when they were first diagnosed with depression or bipolar. For many of these stories, stigma, confusion, and shame cloud this new reality. For young people, the confusion can be even greater. Working through family dynamics, getting the right diagnosis, and being believed that what you’re feeling is “real” and not “just a phase” can be incredibly challenging.
DBSA will increase its capacity to serve children, teens, and young adults living with mood disorders and their parents and caregivers
