Support network establishments for individuals battling bipolar disorder
In the heart of Wiesbaden, a new self-help group for individuals dealing with bipolar disorder has been established. The group, named BABOS, offers a supportive environment for those navigating the challenges of managing their condition.
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is characterised by extreme fluctuations between elation and lethargy. The new self-help group aims to provide a platform for exchange, mutual support, and practical tips to help members better navigate between manic and depressive phases.
The BABOS self-help group meets every two weeks at the health department in Wiesbaden. For those interested in joining, the group gathers on Fridays from 3 to 5 pm at Konradinerallee 11 in Wiesbaden.
Individuals seeking support can contact the self-help group via email at [email protected]. Additionally, the health department's health-promotion team can be reached at [email protected] or by phone at (0611) 313777 or 317629.
It's worth noting that while information about this specific group was not readily available in our initial search, we recommend reaching out to local mental health organisations, hospitals or rehabilitation centers, national or regional bipolar disorder associations, and checking social media platforms or local event boards for additional support resources.
Remarkably, Wiesbaden already boasts around 100 self-help groups, catering to a variety of needs. Furthermore, October is recognised as "Aphasia Month" nationwide, and the Wiesbaden/Mainz self-help group is raising awareness about speech disorders in the city centre.
For those seeking self-help offers beyond the BABOS group, the self-help contact point at the health department in Wiesbaden is a valuable resource. During the Hessian Health Days on Schlossplatz, around 25 self-help groups will be available near the town hall, offering opportunities for contact and support.
