[What is mutual aid? The experience of the Fundación de Bipolares de Argentina (Fubipa)].
Fubipa is a self-help organization run by bipolar patients, their relatives and friends. It provides emotional support to those affected by the disorder, and disseminates information about the illness and its treatment. This paper outlines its functioning and the history of its inception and development, as well as sharing testimonies of recovered patients who collaborate with our Foundation.
