Coping and support
By Mayo Clinic staffRemember that you're not alone. A number of organizations and support groups are dedicated to providing information and support for you and your family — whether you have the disorder or you have a friend or family member who does. Your doctor may be able to suggest support groups available in your area, or there are a number of good sites on the Internet with information about local support groups.
