Mood
Disorders Information
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
More than 23 million Americans suffer from mood disorders annually. Each year,
one in five Americans experiences a serious emotional disturbance. In fact, mental illness is more prevalent than cancer,
lung disease and heart disease combined leading the U.S. Surgeon General to declare mental illness one of our nation’s
leading public health issues. Mood disorders are indiscriminate, affecting people of all ages, races, ethnic groups and social
classes. Due to our many supporters, over the past 21 years DBSA has been able to improve recognition, early detection and
diagnosis of mood disorders, help people successfully manage their diseases, improve care, expand the ability of people to
receive treatment, advance research and increase acceptance and understanding of mood disorders. To learn more please come
to our meetings, esp. our 3rd Thursday educational meetings.
