It really depends on the group and it depends what you want to get out of it. I had good experiences with it and I found I learned the most from the other group members.

Mac, One ting I would suggest is to find a group that is run by a mental health professional(s). Ideally a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist. I hope you're feeling better today.
