The Manic Depression Fellowship (MDF) is a user-led mental health charity which works to enable people affected by manic depression/bi-polar disorder to take control of their lives.
The MDF Wales Helpline is staffed by a team of experienced volunteers and usually provides the first contact people have with a fellow sufferer of manic depression. They have information on many aspects of manic depression and its associated problems, and can provide a range of services for their members from legal and debt advice, through their 24 hour Members Assistance Programme to self management training courses. The organisation has a network of local self-help groups.
Their website provides a list of publications and factsheets which are available.
