The Organization for Bipolar Affective Disorders - OBAD The Organization for Bipolar Affective Disorders has produced a book called "A Guide to Recovery".

To attend our free online and in-person peer support meetings in Calgary & Edmonton, Alberta for individuals with bipolar disorder, please visit: https://linktr.ee/obadca ~ you are not alone! 🧡 This book was compiled and created through the hard work and dedication of many individuals who have a mood disorder and has been a tremendous resource for both OBAD as well as the thousands of people who have read it. OBAD's book not only covers issues such as what Bipolar Affective Disorder, Unipolar Disorder and Schizoaffective Disorders are, but also ideas and methods for coping, dealing and living with these illnesses.

Edmonton Bipolar Hybrid Peer Support Group! Every Tuesday from 7-9PM MST - link in bio! Attend In-Person or on Zoom! All first-timers welcome 💙
💡In-person support groups remind individuals living with bipolar disorder that recovery isn’t a solo journey — it’s a shared path, walked together. 💞Hearing from others who’ve navigated similar challenges offers practical insight that can’t always be found in books or therapy alone.
🌞Members exchange coping strategies, share successes and setbacks, and learn to recognize patterns that can support recovery and stability. ⏰Attending regular meetings provides consistency and routine, which are often essential for mental wellness.
🫂In-person groups also encourage members to stay connected and accountable in their recovery journeys. We are here to support you! For any questions feel free to DM us! 💬
