==Types== In the case of a [[disease]], an [[cultural identity|identity]] or a pre-disposition, for example, a support group will provide information, act as a clearing-house for experiences, and may serve as a [[public relations]] voice for affected people, other members, and their families. Groups for high IQ or [[LGBT|LGBTQIA+]] individuals, for example, differ in their inclusivity, but both connect people on the basis of identity or pre-disposition.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}} For more temporary concerns, such as bereavement or episodic medical conditions, a support group may veer more towards helping those involved to overcome or push through their condition/experience. Some support groups and conditions for which such groups may be formed are: {{col-begin}} {{col-break|width=50%}} *[[Addiction recovery groups|Addiction]] *[[AIDS]] *[[Alzheimer's disease|Alzheimer's]] *[[Alcoholics Anonymous]] *[[Anxiety disorder]]s *[[Asperger syndrome]] *[[Borderline personality disorder]] *[[Breastfeeding]] *[[Stroke|Brain attack]] or [[Brain injury|Brain trauma]] *[[Cancer support group|Cancer]] *[[Circadian rhythm disorder]]s, e.g. [[DSPD]], [[Non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder|Non-24]] *[[Codependency]] *[[Diabetes]] *[[Debtors Anonymous]] *[[Domestic violence]] *[[Eating disorder]]s *[[Erythema nodosum]] {{col-break|width=50%}} *Families of addicts & alcoholics *[[Fibromyalgia]] *[[Gamblers Anonymous]] *[[Grief]] *[[Infertility]] *[[Inflammatory bowel disease]] *[[Irritable bowel syndrome]] *[[Mental Health]] *[[Miscarriage]] *[[Mood disorder]]s *[[Narcolepsy]] *[[Parkinson's disease]] *[[Red burning skin|Red Skin Syndrome/Topical Steroid Addiction and Withdrawal]] *[[Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests|Sexual abuse survivors]] *[[Sleep disorder]]s *[[Stuttering]] *[[Suicide Prevention Action Network USA|Suicide prevention]] *[[Ulcerative colitis]] {{col-end}}
