Bipolar Beat

Larry and Linda Drain who have formed a local chapter of DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) in Blount County, Tennessee. The group’s mission is to provide information and support for people with bipolar disorder and their loved ones and facilitate connections among people in the bipolar community. As Larry has said, “The weight is less heavy when it’s shared.”

We encourage you to read the Drain’s bipolar story, which they have shared with visitors to our Bipolar Blog and to visit their Hopeworks Community website and Hopesources website, where you will find information, advice, support, and perhaps best of all hope. Larry posts regular articles that encourage readers to look at things in a different (more hopeful) way and reminds us of all we have to be thankful for, which is easy to forget when dealing with bipolar.

We invite you to check out these websites and then please come back and let us know what you think.
