I'm sorry that you weren't able to find the help you were looking for...

The chapter here offers about 10 different support groups each week for the various diagnoses...publishes a booklet with the contact info for every psychiatrist, psychologist, counseling agency, social service agency both public and private, every mental health facility and health facility in the area. They have handouts on most drugs that are prescribed for the treatment of mental illness. They have money available to help purchase "mental health" drugs...provide a "warm line" for people to call when they are feeling down or lonely...social activities...advocacy on mental health issues in the legislatures...raising awareness of mental health issues in the community through the use of speakers...

ALL of these things are done by people who suffer from mental illness themselves.

I made the post because I see a lot of people asking questions such as "Where can I get...." and "Who can help me with...." and I have found help for those or similar issues at my NAMI chapter, so I'm just trying to raise awareness of the organization.
