Affective disorders such as clinical depression and bipolar disorder (manic depression) affect millions of people every year. Coping with these often-misunderstood mood disorders is difficult enough, but coping alone can be even tougher.

MDDA-Attleboro offers ongoing peer-led support groups that can help people cope with affective disorders through peer support and education. Like the 275 other local affiliates of the National Depressive & Manic-Depressive Association , MDDA-Attleboro provides a supportive environment where people with depression and manic depression can share feelings, experiences, and coping strategies with others in similar situations.

MDDA-Attleboro meetings take place every Tuesday night from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the Hillside Adult Day Health Center , 50 Walton Street, Attleboro, MA. Newcomers’ meetings for first-timers take place every week starting at 6:30 pm. Support group meetings are free and open to anyone with depressive or manic-depressive disorders. No pre-registration is required.

MDDA-Attleboro is affiliated with MDDA-Boston, a highly successful MDDA group with over 600 members and a long track record of assisting people with affective disorders to achieve and sustain wellness. We are also sponsored by Community Care Services of Attleboro, a mental health agency whose ongoing support we greatly appreciate!
