When dealing with mental health issues, there are many different things we try to help get us through. While traditional talk therapy and other alternative therapies are extremely beneficial, combining those therapies with attending a support group can be just what you need to finally get a hold of your mental space. A support group just provides you with a group of people that know what you are going through because they are also going through it. Check out these Pittsburgh support groups to find a group that works for you.
