-- "An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness" by Kay Redfield Jamison. Library Journal says: "This incredibly insightful work chronicles the life of a psychologist and professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University who suffers from manic depression. Jamison began experiencing mood swings during adolescence but, despite her education and training, did not seek help until she had completed her doctorate and began teaching at UCLA."
-- "Brilliant Madness: Living with Manic Depressive Illness" by Patty Duke with Gloria Hochman. Kirkus says: "Duke tells the story of her manic-depressive illness and its successful treatment, while in alternating chapters medical-writer Hochman (Heart Bypass, 1982) explains the facts of the disease and the methods of treatment currently available"
-- "Manic: A Memoir" by Terri Cheney. The Los Angeles Times called the memoir by the former entertainment lawyer, it a "gut-churning ride."
