Wiley, 2002 an Excellent Resource If you're looking to learn about depression, this is an EXCELLENT book to begin with. DePaulo does a great job of explaining what depression is (and isn't) and what we do and don't know about it.

Goodwin, Kay Redfield Jamison Oxford University Press, 2007 The revolution in psychiatry that began in the 1950s led to dramatic advances in the understanding and treatment of manic-depressive illness, also known as bipolar disorder.

The writing presented in this volume has resonance from what I have felt. Night Falls Fast should be considered a guide for families of mentally ill who contemplate suicide. It is tight and concise, from the moral judgements which are placed upon those who attempt it, to instances of unsound internal turmoil. ...             An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness328 reviews Kay Redfield Jamison Vintage, 1996 bi polar illness I found this book to be very helpful in understanding bi polar illness. My son suffers with bi polar and my mom also suffered with it.
