Family Matters: A Guide to Mood Disorders

The Family Matters factsheet package is a resource for families with a member living with a mood disorder or other mental illness. We know that mental illness effects the entire family in one way or another and the closer your relationship with someone with a mental illness, the more support and information you need.

The Family Matters factsheet package starts with a Guide to Mood Disorders for Families. This guide highlights the causes of mood disorders, signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression, gives some resource information with regards to treatment for mood disorders and gives an overview of advocating for your family member. The guide also includes some resources for futher support.

Click on each title on the left to download the corresponding fact sheet. We hope this information helps you gain some insight into your unique situation. Remember, mental illness is highly treatable and there is hope of recovery!
