"Because I couldn't help my son, I couldn't do anything for him, I thought maybe I could start this group and help other people and other parents deal with this problem. What I wasn't prepared to face was just how lonely, how alone, how sad, and feeling hopeless I was.  In a way, when the group began, I needed the group as much as the group needed me. I've continued the group although I need it for different reasons - at that point I needed it because I felt overwhelmed because of the problem with my son. Now I need it because I've grown to love the people of the group and I feel a tremendous sense of connection with them,I care for them deeply, and it is a very meaningful part of my life."   Episode Description: We begin with the definition of stigma and how it exists as a force from outside of oneself as well as an internal state of self-disdain. It can be a cause of emotional difficulties and also a result of the label of mental illness. We discuss the symptoms of depression and how it differs from sadness, especially noting the role of guilt and self-hatred. John describes a group that he began 25 years ago that is affiliated with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance - DBSA. He walks us through the process of participating in the group and, in conjunction with individual treatment, describes the ways that it is a powerful force for healing. He also shares with us his personal journey of being a father of a son with bipolar illness, which originally inspired the creation of this group. He welcomes participants from around the world who can participate in his online group.   Our Guest: John S. Tamerin, M.D., practices clinical psychiatry in Greenwich, Connecticut. He serves as a Clinical Associate Professor at the Weill/Cornell Medical College where he has taught resident psychiatrists and medical students for over thirty years.

These changes in mood can appear as intense highs and lows and can last for days at a time or longer. They are generally well demarcated changes in mood that interrupt previous functioning, which is to be distinguished from volatile behavior that is better explained by poor characterological temperament or the psychological effects of substance abuse.

The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is a non-profit organization providing support groups for people or families with depression or bipolar disorder. Kevin Einbinder sat down to talk briefly about DBSA, including the different support they offer, groups they help and where to learn more about their services. Kevin discussed that their support groups are mostly peer led, a feature that many other support group organizations do not offer. DBSA does not just offer support to individuals with depression or bipolar disorder, but they also provide support to families of those individuals. Their support groups can be found both in person and online. To learn more about DBSA, find a support group online or near you, or to request help starting your own group, head to www.dbsalliance.org. PsychU is proud to feature perspectives from experts and advocates in the field of mental health. It is an honor to count organizations like DBSA as PsychU Supporters – as we work to improve mental health together. Kevin Einbinder is the Vice President of Communications, Programs, & Chapter Relations at DBSA, where he provides strategic oversight and management of communications, marketing, programming, and 200+ regional chapters.
