Loading... An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness... by Terri Cheney
A memoir about one woman's life with bipolar disorder. I would recommend Kay Redfield Jamison's An Unquiet Mind instead to anyone interested in this disorder.

An Unquiet Mind
The Noonday Demon
Darkness Visible
Lincoln's Melancholy
The House of Percy
The Catcher in the Rye
