Well, it depends on what type of books you are looking for now doesn't it:) What I mean to say is are you looking for informative books or more like memoirs? Jamison's "An Unquiet Mind" is a good Memoir, but I didn't gain much information from it. A great book that is very reader friendly is "The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide" by David J. Miklowitz. It covers all aspects of bipolar disorder, including bipolar I, II, rapid cycling, mixed states, stressors, medications, ect. I mean I look at it almost daily! It was the first book I bought. And I think it runs about twenty bucks. It's very reader friendly, talks about early warning signs or mood swings. I mean it has everything you'd want to know if you've just been diagnosed. And again, I still refer to it. It's a pretty handy book!

"Why Your Depression Isn't Getting Better". A fantastic book on bipolar spectrum disorders.
